A&E’s “Ozark Law,” which follows the daily operations of the Lake Ozark and Osage Beach Police Departments in Missouri, takes a somber turn this Wednesday. “End of Watch” deals with the devastating loss of an officer killed in the line of duty. The episode focuses on the impact of this tragedy, not just on the officers themselves, but on their families and the community as a whole.
While “Ozark Law” often focuses on the challenges of policing a popular vacation destination, especially during the busy summer months, this episode turns its lens inward, examining the emotional toll of police work. It’s a look at the bonds formed within a police department, the risks inherent in the job, and the grief that follows when one of their own makes the ultimate sacrifice.
“End of Watch” is a tribute to the fallen officer and an acknowledgment of the sacrifices made by law enforcement personnel every day. The episode seeks to capture the raw emotion of the moment, offering a glimpse into the realities of policing in America.
“Ozark Law: End of Watch” airs Wednesday, March 12 at 10:00 PM ET on A&E.
