Policing TV is proud to announce a partnership with the British Overseas Territories which will be bringing 12 unique monthly insights into these amazing territories.

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.

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 forcesleaders

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 offering an open invitation to professionals who want to be part of something meaningful.

Whether you’re a serving officer, a recent retiree, or a policing professional looking for your next chapter, this is your invitation. Watch the series. Share the stories. Get involved.

If one of these places speaks to you – reach out.
