Introduction

A 1995 BBC documentary about the British Army’s Royal Military Police.

Outline

Drugs are becoming a problem for the army.

As many as one in four soldiers are starting to dabble in them, but the special undercover drugs intelligence team of the Royal Military Police is more interested in the pushers and dealers than in occasional users.

Operations extend across Europe, from Hamburg and Bremen to the drug havens of Holland.

Captain John Wooldridge of the Royal Military Police suspects that there is a serious drug problem in a regiment stationed in Germany.

He summons the Redcaps’ drugs intelligence team to target a soldier who is making mysterious journeys at night.
