This police training film was produced by The Louisiana Association for Mental Health and filmed in Cleveland, Ohio with assistance from the city’s police department. It tells the story of four policemen and the pressures they face in their work on a daily basis. This includes confronting criminals on the street, issuing traffic citations, reckless youth, public scrutiny and opinion, domestic disputes, dealing with the mentally ill, and more. Aside from dangers to one’s physical safety, police must also try to balance work with family life, all while facing physical and emotional exhaustion. The importance of making a positive impact on the community is also emphasized.
