A shocking police video aimed at new recruits which shows a suspect who was Tasered five times and jumped out a window has been defended by the police chief who commissioned it.
Durham Chief Constable Mike Barton decided the force needed a new recruitment video because too many new constable joining the force were quitting.
He decided to show the perils front-line officers face in a series of clips shot by uniform bodycam.
Shocking footage shows a man dressed only in his underwear preparing to jump out a window after being Tasered five times
In the video entitled 'Do you really want to be a cop?', one suspect who has been jumps from an upstairs window.
The suspect, dressed in his underpants, has already thrown furniture onto the street before leaping out of the broken window and crashing onto the ground.
The incident was described by officers who tried to control him as frightening, and was used as an example to highlight the dangers faced by police.
Mr Barton justified the video, saying: 'What we are saying to people is "this is what policing is really all about."
'They need to think about 9/11 and all those emergency services running towards the twin towers. We are looking for people who are essentially unarmed who will run towards danger.

'We have some footage of a man who is under the influence jumping out of a window.
'We tried to subdue him and he was actually tasered five times. That didn't work, which is very unusual but the officers involved told me that was one of the most frightening things they had ever dealt with.
'I don't deliberately set out to be different or odd but I have been called odd. I set out to give people the space in the organisation for them to be creative.
'If after this my Superintendents tell me we are still seeing five or six people a year leaving because the job was not what I thought it would be then I will have failed.'
The video does not try to glamourise the role of a police officer, but instead plays down the roll.
As video clips play, a voiceover says: 'Do you really want to be a cop? Stand for hours in the rain protecting a crime scene?
'You will work days and night and probably miss a few of the bairn's birthday parties.
'You spend longer on the paperwork than you do on the beat but you will be the one walking into darkened buildings which might or might not be empty.
'You will be the one getting a mouthful of abuse from the very person you are there to protect. But that is who we are.'
Chief Inspector Catherine Clarke, from Durham Constabulary, said: 'Being a police officer is like no other job in the world. I can guarantee it'll be the most challenging thing you've ever done, but it'll also be the most rewarding.
'You'll be the one running towards danger when everyone else is running away from it, you'll see things that nobody else will see and you'll do things you never thought you'd do.

'But you'll finish your shift knowing you made a real difference to someone's life - you were there during their hour of need when they had nobody else to turn to. You'll make a genuine difference to your community and you'll help make your town a better place to live.'
Assistant Chief Officer Gary Ridley said: 'There is no doubt that we, and other forces across the country, are facing unprecedented challenges, both financially and in terms of the range of crimes we are being called in to investigate.
'Despite these challenges, we pride ourselves on providing the best possible service to the people of County Durham and Darlington, doing the very best to protect victims of crime and being there for them when they need us the most.
'We are a diverse force and our officers are some of the best in the country, which has seen Durham Constabulary being rated as 'outstanding' for the past three years by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS).'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
