What's the Story?
POLICE 24/7 is an unscripted series that follows sheriffs and police departments around the United States as they serve and protect their communities. From traffic stops and high-speed chases to domestic violence calls and drug busts, each episode reveals the different challenges and dangers law enforcement officers face every day.
Is It Any Good?
The predictable unscripted series offers all the expected calls, chases, and arrests these types of TV series feature. Police 24/7 cameras follow as officers do things like chase stolen cars, run after people on foot, conduct traffic stops, and administer sobriety tests. Scenes show people arguing with officers, engaging in drunken behavior, and resisting arrest. Officers also explain what's happening on camera, or share their thoughts about what transpired. Overall, Police 24/7 doesn't contain anything particularly new or surprising, which makes one wonder what's the point of it.
