On tonight's show, reports come in about a man in a residential street with a hammer and a knife. As the firearms unit rush to the scene, PC Smith and his specially trained dog, Arnie, are also on their way, in case the man tries to make a run for it. Also rushing to the incident is roads policing officer Sgt Gladwin; his job will be to ensure that no members of the public get in harm's way, and to close the roads. When they arrive, they find that the man with weapons is no longer in the street and has gone into a house, putting another man who is in the property in danger. As the firearms team gain entrance to the house, they arrest one man who turns out to be innocent, only to discover that the suspect has tried to make a run for it out of the back of the house in a bid to get away. The police are stationed at the back of the property but must break down the back door to get to him. Even when surrounded by armed police, the man is still not about to give up and threatens the officers. After warnings to drop his weapons, the only way they can get near enough to arrested him is by tasering him.
In Cheltenham, PC Raath and PC Davis are looking for two 15-year-old two girls who have absconded from a care home. One girl has run away many times before but as they are young and vulnerable, the police need to find them to keep them safe. They know all the usual haunts where they hang out, so are driving around the area, hoping to catch sight of them.
Meanwhile, a Grade One call comes in about a fight in a block of flats - a man is drunk, and is accused of assaulting his neighbour. The neighbour has hit back, and there is blood on his face. After talking to the other neighbours, the officers arrest the drunk man, as he was the one making the initial threats. With the man on his way to custody the officers go back to looking for the missing teenage girls, but they haven't been found by the time their shift ends, and so they hand over to the next team.
In the town centre, the mounted unit are patrolling the main street where all the clubs have just closed. After some banter with the crowds, the officers spot trouble brewing as reports come through of a woman slapping a man in the face. The man wants to make a complaint but as the officer stalk to the woman, they discover that the man had been trying to chat up the girl's friend, who was not interested, and he would not back off. The officers persuade all concerned to drop any complaints and make their way home.
