This feature documentary is a factual account of the life of policemen at one station in Montreal, drawn from 60 days and nights of on-the-spot filming in the early 1970s. It is a view of life in the inner city that usually only the policeman has reason to encounter. There are ugly incidents here, but there is also reassurance that people in trouble do have help at hand.

This film deals with mature subject matter. Viewer discretion is advised

    The murder of the policeman outside Simpsons was attributed to Big John Slavey who was later ambushed by police and shot dead.

    Quite an unfiltered look at police work in a department that we rarely get a look at. Hard nosed cops doing things in the old school way against old school crime. The commentator says it like it is, which is a level of truth that few people like to hear these days. Good cops doing good old fashioned police investigations. This was more interesting than most other police documentaries I have seen.

    I remember being picked up by the CN Police as a kid, They called Station 10 to come and get me. Capt Jacques Cinq-Mars and his partner were close by so they came to get me, The CN Police gave them the report, He tossed it, then drove me around the block bought 3 hotdogs for us all, we ate them he then gave me 15 cents for the bus and kicked me out of the car. Guess its a .....Cold Case now lol
