This documentary uses a number of famous cases to showcase the use of new technologies and methodologies to investigate and solve some of the Met's most famous cases. Each case is used to highlight how the Met employed new techniques to investigate criminal activity, and in most cases solve crimes. Some of these new techniques also include the establishment of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), the Flying Squad, the systematic collection and cataloging of fingerprints, and so forth.
