Police Women of Broward County (TLC)
common sense media says
Real women, real police work -- really raw.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this reality series showcases real-life police work, which is often raw, very dangerous, and filled with angry people, some of whom are the police officers themselves (although the women featured in the show don't engage in any inappropriate behavior). Expect some bleeped language, tense/violent scenes, and rough talk. The show is a good pick for parents to watch with kids who want to be cops when they grow up -- and it could also serve as a cautionary tale for those inclined toward trouble.
Positive role models:
The women swear, and they can get rough when they're taking criminals down. But they're also devoted wives and mothers intent on taking care of their families and doing the right thing. As women operating in a traditionally male world, they talk about how they bring their gifts as women to the job.
Violence:
This is the real world of police work. Expect to see the bloody aftermath of violence (for example, a man who has been beaten up). Officers draw their guns in dangerous situations (such as entering a crack house), and they do get physical when taking down suspects.
Sex:
While there's no actual sexual activity, a police officer does pose as a prostitute in a sting operation, and there's some sex talk (although no graphic descriptions).
Language:
Lots of bleeped language (and sometimes you can tell what's beeing bleeped out). Other words include "boobs" and "whore," as well as body-part terms like "vagina" (used in a clinical description).
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Two of the officers are on drug deterrence duty and have interactions with many drug addicts and dealers. Others encounter suspects who are drinking heavily. Some social drinking.

My husband and I watch it evertime it comes on. My sister's daughter is staying with us and we get together and watch it.

dhonna in jerzee luvzit ... it is obvious that ' children ' are not the target audience ... however , it can give mature women a realistic view of the job description and if it is something that an individual may want to pursue ... thumbs up here
