Vancouver Police "TheBeat" (Ep-1 Part-1)

Never before have television cameras had unlimited access to the police that patrol Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, one of the most controversial neighborhoods in North America. The Beat is a ten-part docu-soap series that presents a gritty, behindthe-scenes look at the challenges faced by The Beat Enforcement Team's Squad Three, as they tirelessly work to maintain order in a community crippled by poverty, drug addiction and mental illness.

Drawn from hundreds of hours of footage, shot night and day over six full months, The Beat captures every corner and crevasse of the Downtown Eastside's 12 square blocks. See rooming house raids, undercover sting operations, stakeouts, petty thieves and major drug gangs being brought to justice in a neighborhood that's home to an estimated 5,000 hardcore drug users and a population with the highest HIV infection rate in the developed world. The Beat also offers a glimpse at the officers away from their daily patrols, where the rigors of work are balanced with the pleasures of family life.

thanks for the post, great insight on the van police

good stuff.
i work right adjacent over there :(

holy crap. part 2 of that episode... you can feel the lady officer's loss of emotion when she sees the body... she knows she needs to get the job done, but seeing a dead body IRL like that must really take a toll on her (And anyone)

you can watch all the episodes here:

I remember hearing about this show, but completely forgot about it.

Thanks for the reminder! :thumbsup: Sweet show so far.

good watch, real life rookie blue.

some pretty fucked up stuff

Maria doesn't seem cut out to be a cop, I can imagine by now what a strain it can be on her personality. She's probably totally different now.

You can also catch this on citytv on Friday's 9-10pm

She wasn't exactly a rookie when she joined the VPD, the show could be slightly dramatized. None the less, it's a great series.

Thanks for the link to the rest of the episodes, been watching this the first week it came out. Now I don't have to wait another week for the newer episodes.

watched 4 episodes straight, love this shit, definitely solidifies my want to pursue a career with the VPD!

thanks for sharing ~ very good watch ... just finished 2nd episode

Very good watch. :thumbsup:
