Monday

Beach Patrol: San Diego(SM)

San Diego's lifeguards are an elite group: licensed not only to perform life saving water rescues, they are also sworn officers of the peace. Working closely with the San Diego Police Department, their mission is to keep the beach safe -- whether that means investigating cases of murder or missing persons, busting unruly underage drinkers, breaking-up fights, searching for underwater evidence, recovering bodies or performing dangerous cliff rescues -- it is their job to uphold the law along this pristine stretch of California sand and sea.

Tuesday

Cops

The investigative reality show that shows the tense, dangerous and sometimes bizarre situations that make up the shift of an on-duty officer is one of the most addictive in the history of television. Riding along with law enforcement as they do their difficult job in cities and towns around the country, viewers get a behind-the-scenes look at the excitement that no scripted drama can reproduce.

Wednesday

Texas S.W.A.T.

In this unprecedented non-fiction series, Court TV takes advantage of exclusive access to the live, on-the-spot, heart-racing action of S.W.A.T. teams from a dozen Texas cities including Dallas, Houston and San Antonio. Experienced war journalist Jeff Chagrin takes viewers along for the ride with these elite crime-fighting experts as they use the latest technology and tactics to handle every crisis situation, from defusing bombs to negotiating hostage situations.

Thursday

Hot Pursuit

From high-speed chases, to dangerous crashes, this high-adrenaline caught-on-tape series features the most amazing police footage ever captured -- and much of it is taken from the dashboard -- mounted cameras in the police vehicles themselves.

Friday

Anatomy of Crime

This one-hour documentary-style series dissects the greatest issues in the world of law enforcement from both sides of the law, taking an unflinching look at everything from career criminals to prison punishment.
