Murder Prevention Unit

Based on a real-life homicide unit within London's Metropolitan Police, the crime drama MURDER PREVENTION UNIT centers on a team of officers whose task is to predict where, when, and how violent crimes will occur -- and to step in at the crucial moment and prevent them. Using psychological profiling, forward-thinking detective work, and plenty of instinct, the six-member unit, which is led by formidable DCI Patrick Goddard (Conor Mullen), hones in on likely offenders and conducts a thorough \"pre-murder investigation.\" They track the suspects' movements, identify the intended target, create a probable crime scenario, and lie in wait for events to play out. When they do, the team moves in to apprehend the suspect and put together enough evidence to support the case in court. But the challenges of following clues that lead to uncertain crimes are daunting, so the officers, including DC Maurice Gibney (Michael Smiley) and DC Mark Rosen (Tom Brooke), sometimes resort to unethical tactics to locate missing pieces to their puzzles.
