Policeman turned comic Alfie Moore takes us through the day of a custody officer.
How to keep the timings in your head, cell etiquette, and searches.
Alfie takes us back to his time with the Humberside Police when he was briefly and unwillingly a custody officer.
Alfie's deputised audience will have to figure out: when is it ok to do a strip search, are people allowed their one phone call, and how do you deal with someone who doesn't want to go in a cell.
Recorded at the Darwen Library Theatre.
Written and presented by Alfie Moore.
Script Editor: Will Ing
Producer: Sam Holmes
A BBC Studios production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in October 2022.
