    "Police Tapes" (PBS)
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2006*

The "Police Tapes" was one of the first of its kind 'reality show,' which focused on the New York City Police Department in the Bronx, in the then-notorious 44th Precinct.  It was done duing the 1970s in the South Bronx, in a police precinct that was not as well-known as the infamous 41st Precinct "Fort Apache,"  which was about two miles to the east of the 44 Precinct, but was suffering from the same human degradation as the 41 Precinct and the rest of the so-called South Bronx.The Bronx Borough Commander at that time was Chief Tony Bouza, who was known for his articulate explanation of the 'theater of the absured' which was the Bronx. In his dialogue on the tape, Bouza attempts to put into real terms the issues which are affecting the Bronx...and the cops themselves...at that time, to the point where he says that maybe he shouldn't do such a good job, in order to let the problems be more exposed to the rest of the country.This was to become one of the first of what was several TV shows and documentaries about the "South Bronx," which became a "city" forced to wallow in its own misery for years after the Police Tapes were made, despite its notoriety and the promises of many politicians.The lack of 21st Century video technology shows, but enhances what you see.Nothing like what was the "South Bronx" will ever happen again.

    The most surprising and amazing component of this film is Commander Tony Bouza
  

*by A***H on Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2017*

The most surprising and amazing component of this film is Commander Tony Bouza. His insight and intellect is off the charts and he is brutally honest. He is able to understand what happens emotionally and psychologically to police officers while at the same time himself not losing his sense of humanity towards the impoverished and dispossessed community he serves. His words are as applicable today as they were forty years and I wish we had listened back then.

    Was A South Bronx Cop
  

*by J***D on Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2009*

I did South Bronx cop patrol in many commands including the 44 so know the so accuracy of The Police Tapes.Did three gunbattles 1969-70 46 Command and got a Japanese bayonet souvenir off a wild gun run in 44 where we kicked in a apartment door. Al Aaronson the great Daily News crime photograper was snapping us as we kicked in the door.So wow yes " The Police Tapes " is so vivid accurate. Viewing it literaly felt I was back on South Bronx patrol emotionally. The Police Tapes will be a true eye opener for lay folk but us South Bronx cops we only knew we wanted action and we found it.johnrowland@webtv.net
