Tonight’s Police 24/7 finds the Wilmington PD juggling everything from picnics gone wrong to custody battles in “Bad Day at the Park.” First up, a seemingly innocent late-night picnic takes a dark turn, requiring officers to piece together a confusing scene. Exactly what kind of illicit activities occur after sunset in Wilmington’s green spaces? Let’s just say it’s not your grandma’s picnic basket.
Later, the action shifts from the serenity of the park to the chaos of a crowded bar. A custody dispute erupts, turning ugly fast. Officers must use all their tact and training to de-escalate the situation and prevent it from becoming a full-blown bar brawl.
And because it wouldn’t be a day in the life without a dash of the absurd, officers respond to a report of a dog locked in a hot car. While rescuing the overheated canine, the episode shines a light on the issue of animal welfare, a surprisingly frequent concern for law enforcement.
Police 24/7 airs Thursdays at 9/8c on The CW.
