ID Orders Body-Cam Series from Arrow

Investigation Discovery (ID) has added to its lineup the new series Body Cam, which gives viewers an eyewitness look at the life-or-death instant decisions of police work as told by officers’ own body-camera footage.

Produced by Arrow Media, the ten-part series will launch on November 27 at 10 p.m. on ID. Using body-camera and dashcam footage, dispatch and radio transmissions with additional officers on scene, viewers get a front-row seat to the reality of law enforcement. Each story weaves interviews with responding officers throughout to provide context to their decisions and to provide an understanding of the aftershocks of the drama.

“Body cameras are meant to provide accountability and, while such footage oftentimes faces public scrutiny, we hope that this series will shed some further light on the dangers that officers regularly face in their daily effort to keep us safe,” said Henry Schleiff, group president of Investigation Discovery, Travel Channel, American Heroes Channel and Destination America. “Indeed, by showing actual footage of these harrowing encounters, Body Cam not only offers an intimate and intense look at law enforcement but also provides the viewer with a visceral sense of what life is like for those who must, on occasion, risk their lives to protect ours.”
