The Enforcers provides a vivid insight into the work of the men and women who are called in at the end of a legal battle as agents of the court to ensure a judge’s order is met. It features scenes from the evictions of travellers and squatters from land and properties, the repossession of rental homes, the removal of cars and even a restaurant kitchen after debtors fail to pay what they owe.
Enforcement officers Scott Hines and Steve Michell have to evict the occupants of a council property in South London and it is a dangerous environment. Dave Dearden makes his way to a shop in Leeds, which owner Leonora Stapleton and her elderly mother let out to a family friend but things turned sour. Scott pays a visit to a shopkeeper who has run up a utility bill of more than £6,000 and who attempts to pull down his shutters and makes some threats. Scott is left with no choice but to call the police.
