- Portrayal of the police in TV shows - What do they get right and wrong?
  
  Equin0x posted a topic in General Policing Discussions, June 14
  
  Portrayal of the police in soaps has never been very good. They are always portrayed as quite robotic and one dimensional and of course their competency fluctuates wildly depending on the needs of the storyline. Police-specific dramas like The Bill seemed to be at least somewhat more grounded in reality, if you ignore that awful period around 2005 when they tried turning it into a soap. Then you have the actual non-fiction documentaries like 24 Hours In Police Custody.
  
  As a police officer how do you feel when you watch a show that portrays the police? Do you cringe when you see a long serving Chief Inspector in the script make a blatant rookie mistake? How could they be portrayed better? What kind of things do they always get wrong? Conversely have you seen shows which are fairly accurate in their portrayal of the police? Lastly, have you ever had a boss like Gina Gold?
