More About New Cops
Police officers are ordinary people doing an extraordinarily difficult job. So, what does it take to become a cop? And what happens on the job between the car chases and the drug busts?
New Cops puts you in a patrol car working Philadelphia's toughest neighborhoods. It takes you behind the badge to meet tough cops and veteran officers. From barrooms to cell rooms, you'll see it all and hear what cops say to each other but rarely say in public. New Cops is not some phony reality program. It's the real deal - a unique, insider's view of what it means to be a cop. Read a Synopsis of the show.
