Listen Later

From high-speed chases to courtroom drama, police TV shows and movies have shaped how the public sees law enforcement. But how much of it is true to life? In this episode, O’Fallon Police Chief Kirk Brueggeman steps in for host David Hochberg with DeKalb Police Chief David Byrd to break down Hollywood’s version of policing. They share what the big and small screens often get wrong, the rare moments that get it right, which shows or films come closest to capturing the realities of the job, and much more.
