ABC News Presents: NYPD--24/7

Offering an inside look at the challenges and gut-wrenching decisions faced by the New York Police Department on a daily basis, ABC News Presents: NYPD--24/7 accompanies on-duty police officers for 16 months as homicide, special-victims, and CSI unit investigations (sometimes undercover) unfold, in areas ranging from murder to terrorist threats. Edited down to seven 40-minute episodes, including "Shawna Kunkel Stabbing," "Romona Moore Murder," and "Manhole Death and Crime Scene Unit" (which looks at bizarre cases that could be homicides, suicides, or simply accidents), the series not only provides a day-to-day look at the lives of police officers, but also a fascinating behind-the-scenes glimpse into the administration of the largest police force in the nation through interviews with officers, victims' families, and sometimes the victims themselves. Highly recommended. Aud: P. (L. Stevens)
