"...this edge-of-the-seat documentary screams with tension as it graphically views the police beat and the profession's attendant emotion... Replete with graphic scenes and language, this gripping program...will definitely rivet community group and public library audiences as well as police officers themselves."--Booklist (American Library Association)

"Very in-depth...Useful as a training film for new recruits, but it can also be used as a sociological document for criminal justice, psychology and sociology classes."--AFVA Evaluations
