In the grim reality of “Operation Undercover,” the line between law and disorder blurs as undercover officers tackle the insidious fentanyl trade and a family-run drug operation in Colorado Springs. This week’s episode offers a tense look into the world of discreet police work, focusing on two distinct but equally dangerous investigations.
First, the episode follows officers as they set a trap for a fentanyl dealer linked to the death of a teenager. The sting operation unfolds with the kind of meticulous planning and controlled tension that true crime aficionados crave. The weight of the victim’s story adds a sobering dimension to the pursuit of justice.
Meanwhile, a separate investigation zeros in on a family-owned liquor store suspected of fronting a drug operation. Here, the challenge for undercover officers becomes infiltrating a tight-knit group, where trust is a commodity as valuable as the illicit goods they’re moving.
Guiding viewers through these real-life operations is former undercover agent Lou Valoze. With 26 years of experience walking the tightrope between cop and criminal, Valoze brings a seasoned perspective to the show.
“Operation Undercover” airs Tuesdays at 10 PM on Investigation Discovery.
