The Friday night shift in Brighton serves up another chaotic mix of incidents for the city’s police force in the latest episode of Night Coppers, airing Monday, June 16 at 9:00 PM BST on Channel 4. This week, the calls come in rapid succession, pulling the officers from a potentially dangerous hotel fire on the seafront to the sharp end of street-level crime.
The third-season episode presents a cross-section of the challenges Brighton’s officers face after dark. While one team responds to the hotel blaze, a situation with the potential for mass casualties, officer Hannah finds herself dealing with an attempted mugging, a reminder of the constant threat of violence on the streets. The hour’s emotional weight, however, lands with officers Zoe and Jodie, who are dispatched to a distressing domestic violence call. The aftermath of the encounter visibly affects both of them, highlighting the personal toll that comes with the job.
Night Coppers has consistently documented the difficult reality of modern policing without much gloss. This episode is no different, throwing viewers directly into high-stakes situations that range from public safety emergencies to deeply personal crises. The focus on Zoe and Jodie’s reaction to the domestic call provides a necessary human element, showing the impact of the work long after the immediate danger has passed.
Night Coppers is on Monday, June 16 at 9:00 PM BST on Channel 4.
