On Patrol with the Municipal Police

The series

Over the course of a shift, this series accompanies the Vernier municipal police. Patrols, traffic, public events and calls from the field make up an unscripted day shaped as much by listening as by intervention. Community policing captured through the very tangible diversity of its duties.
