Real-life officers are followed by a camera crew, cinéma-vérité style, in a gritty up-close look at police work and the consequences of crime.

Initially filmed only in Broward County, Fla., the series went on to show officers in locations across the country.

First of all, this so-called writers strike is a mistake in title.
