This 12-part video series (Sept 2025–Aug 2026) will explore policing across the 14 British Overseas Territories (BOTs), combining operational insight with human stories of resilience, innovation, and community trust. Aimed at a global policing audience, it will inspire professionals to consider unique career opportunities while highlighting the UK’s commitment to ethical, inclusive, and locally adapted policing in some of the world’s most remote and diverse jurisdictions.
Each monthly episode will focus on one territory, featuring:
- Senior officer perspectives on challenges, priorities, and vision
- Frontline accounts from officers and community members
- Cultural and operational context unique to each location
- A strategic theme, such as women in policing, domestic abuse prevention, disaster response, or innovation in
- isolation
- A takeaway message relevant to policing worldwide
- And a recruitment call to action – we need help and support to keep this amazing service going !
Recurring features – including A Day in the Life, Ask the Commissioner, and Innovation Spotlight – will give a consistent structure while showcasing individual character and creativity across forces.
Themes woven throughout include gender equality, tackling violence against women and girls (VAWG), community trust, cross-cultural policing, and professional opportunities for secondments, post-retirement roles, and career transitions.
At its heart, this is a people-first series: celebrating service, promoting inclusion, and inviting skilled professionals to be part of something meaningful.
In this second half of our exclusive Policing TV interview, Commissioner Robert Clark offers a unique look into life as a police leader on a small but globally connected island. From hilarious encounters with Secret Service agents to reflections on Anguilla’s warm and polite community, we get an honest and often surprising view of policing in the British Overseas Territories.
We also discuss recruitment opportunities, how UK officers can get involved, and what it takes to serve in this challenging but rewarding environment.
