The CW’s “Police 24/7” is a raw, unfiltered take on law enforcement, putting viewers right there with officers as they face the everyday – and often unpredictable – realities of police work. This Thursday’s episode, “You’re in a Pickle,” is no exception.
From domestic disputes to potential DUIs, to the delicate issues around stolen firearms, the episode provides a ground-level view of law enforcement across eight U.S. cities. We see officers dealing with a suspect in a domestic battery case, discovered hiding under a truck. Another scene involves a woman passed out drunk behind the wheel of her car. And in a more ethically complicated situation, an officer grapples with the case of a man who seems to have acquired a firearm illegally.
“Police 24/7” isn’t about easy answers or tidy resolutions. It’s about seeing the human side of policing, and the constant challenges officers confront trying to keep their communities safe. Find out what happens this Thursday, May 8 at 8:00 PM ET on The CW.
