GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — The Grand Rapids Police Department (GRPD) will give the public a glimpse into their day-to-day operations as the subject of a new television series.
All Access PD: Grand Rapids will take viewers close to the action while offering greater transparency into the department’s emergency procedures.
“When I moved here, trust in this police department was at an all-time low. I knew I had to break down the walls,” Chief Eric Winstrom says at the start of the ad. “This is the most access that documentary film crews ever had to a police department.”
Chief Winstrom promises the series will show officers “being humans” while keeping Grand Rapids safe.
In the first trailer for the series posted on Thursday, the footage from the show promises viewers a no-limits experience.
