The scene: a Court TV production team is shooting a documentary with the New Orleans police department when Hurricane Katrina, one of the most devastating storms in U.S. history, makes land. Rather than pack up and flee, the crew decides to stay….and when hundreds of police officers go AWOL, Court TV rides shotgun with two NOPD cops as they remain on duty, trying desperately to restore order with few resources. With unprecedented access, this intimate documentary goes behind-the-scenes with these officers as they navigate the tense, emotionally-charged atmosphere where a new set of horrors waits around every corner, while at the same time they deal with their own personal losses as citizens of New Orleans. The exclusive one-hour documentary “NOPD: After Katrina” premieres on Tuesday, November 1st, at 10:00 PM.
