What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this reality series shows real women doing police work, which means they encounter criminals, drug dealing, domestic disputes, and people on the edges of society. The language is raw, and includes words like "ass" and "piss," though the occasional "f--k" is bleeped. Arrestees are occasionally partially (or completely) undressed, though all sensitive parts (and often faces) are blurred. Expect some tense/violent scenes and rough talk (sometimes by the police women themselves).
Positive role models:
The women say repeatedly that by doing their jobs they want to help make their world better
for their kids and for the rest of the community. However, they do tend
toward a tough attitude -- one that is appropriate for their
work, but nonetheless, it might be off-putting to some. That said, the women are doing their jobs and using their gifts in a pretty mean, nasty world.

It shows that a woman is capable of doing whatever she wants to do and still raise her children and be happy.

A little iffy....
I think this show is very good, and the police women are really good role models. It is a little iffy for me to watch, just because most of the things that they arrest people for are drugs. Also, it is even more iffy sometimes when the arrest has something to do with prostitution. Overall, I think this show would be good for ages 14+.
