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 first episode of Policing TV’s British Overseas Territories series, we speak to Robert Muir Clark, Commissioner of the Royal Anguilla Police Force. Commissioner Clark reflects on his journey from Northern Ireland policing to leading one of the most challenging forces in the Caribbean.
He shares what day-to-day life looks like for a Commissioner on a small island tackling serious crime, the impact of 10 murders in a year, and the reality behind the “Death in Paradise” myth.
He also discusses regional cooperation between overseas territories, support from the UK’s FCDO and Home Office, and a major push to modernise laws and standardise firearms training across the Caribbean.
Takeaways
- Commissioner Clark moved from UK policing to lead Anguilla’s force.
- Anguilla faced 10 murders in a year with only 105 officers budgeted.
- He describes the role as “professionally and personally relentless.”
- The FCDO and Cayman provided critical mutual aid and technical support.
- UK standards are being introduced for legislation and firearms training.
- The Police and Criminal Evidence Act is being adapted for Anguilla.
- Overseas Territories now share unified training and intelligence models.
