The Seattle Police Department’s West Precinct has entered into an agreement with a California-based production company giving it access to film the precinct’s officers and goings-on for a MTV reality TV cop show over the next few weeks, according to a report by SeattleCrime.com.
Police sources tell us a crew for Down In Front Productions has wired up a patrol car in the West Precinct to record audio and video for the upcoming MTV show, Cuff’d.
The show is already in its second week of shooting in Seattle, and prior to that was filming in Key West, Florida. From SeattleCrime:
In the show, officers working third watch—the night shift—at the West Precinct downtown will interview arrestees on camera, if they consent.
A spokesman for the department declined to comment on the show, as did the production company.
