About this episode

Detective Robert investigates a fellow officer accused of misconduct, uncovering a troubling case of police corruption.

When Detective Robert opens an investigation into a fellow officer, he doesn’t yet realize the scope of what he’s about to uncover. The suspect, Darren, is a well-connected cop, and the woman accusing him is terrified to speak out. When she bravely comes forward, the race to stop Darren from continuing to offend is on. This is part one of a two-part episode about police misconduct, ending on a nail-biting cliffhanger. Sergeant Robert has been in law enforcement for over 20 years. Prior to becoming a detective, he spent nine years on patrol, where he served as a Field Training Officer (FTO) and an FBI-trained hostage negotiator. As a detective, he worked in a unit that investigated crimes against children, including sex crimes, serious physical abuse and child homicides. He was later re-assigned to the violent crimes unit, where he investigated homicides, robberies and other serious felonies. He was an active member of his county’s major crimes team, which investigated homicides and officer-involved shootings. After 10 years in investigations, Robert was promoted to sergeant.
