Police procedural

Police procedural

The police procedural, police show, or police crime drama, is a subgenre of procedural drama and detective fiction that emphasizes the investigative procedure of a police officer or department as the protagonist(s), as contrasted with other genres that focus on either a private detective, an amateur investigator or the characters who are the targets of investigations. While many police procedurals conceal the criminal's identity until the crime is solved in the narrative climax, others reveal the perpetrator's identity to the audience early in the narrative, making it an inverted detective story. Whatever the plot style, the defining element of a police procedural is the attempt to accurately depict the profession of law enforcement, including such police-related topics as forensic science, autopsies, gathering evidence, search warrants, interrogation and adherence to legal restrictions and procedure.

7319"Simone"Liz FriedlanderAlexi Hawley & Terence Paul WinterApril 24, 2022 (2022-04-24)4193.95[2]
Nolan and Chen respond to a call of a suspicious person near a power station, which they quickly realise has a bomb in it. They escape before it detonates. The FBI's Los Angeles division is called in when it is suspected that the bomber belongs to a terrorist cell. When the FBI learns that the suspect, Zeke Freemont, has a connection to trainee Simone Clark, they call her in to assist, but she is soon dismissed. Nolan encourages her to stand up for herself and they find common ground with both having been the oldest trainee. Lead agent Garza calls her in to question Freemont as he only wants to speak to her. He reveals that he built bombs for the bomber, but didn't know what they were for. Lopez and Harper investigate a supposed break in at a professor's house, and with Clarke's help, discover that it was the same suspect as with the bombing, who is later identified as Trevor Gurin, with a classified connection to Groom Lake. With reluctance, Garza takes Clarke on to his team. Through map evidence at the suspect' house and the codeword "Enervo", they deduce that Gurin was former military. He steals further bombs from the National Guard's weapon storage, and initiates his plan to take down the city's infrastructure, starting with the roads.
7420"Enervo"Bill RoeAlexi Hawley & Terence Paul WinterMay 1, 2022 (2022-05-01)4204.17[3]
The Mid-Wilshire station and the LA Division of the FBI race to stop bombs that have been scattered throughout the city on board separate vans. Deducing that the targets are every freeway, Clarke leads herself and Nolan in the direction of one of the trucks and narrowly sideswipe it just before it reaches a freeway bridge. Grey and Garza take to the skies to get an overview from there, while Bradford, Chen, and LAPD and FBI cavalcades manage to stop the remaining vans, although one still detonates, killing 17 people. Garza and Grey approach the LA CIA station in hopes of help, but its chief, Bill August, turns them down, though he promises to look into the classified file on Gurin. Bradford and Nolan meet one of the former's former associates, Kate Hill, who works for the CIA, who are quick to shut them down, but are shut down by the LAPD in return. Hill reveals that "Enervo" was a black Ops designed to destabilise foreign cities, headed by August and the lead perpetrator being Gurin, whose real name is Ilya Shokorov. Clarke follows a lead with the help of Zeke identifying a Russian chocolate bar Gurin had. She meets him near the aquarium before the two fight before Nolan arrives. They track Shokorov into the aquarium, where he explains that August deserted him and his crew and left them for dead, and his acts of terrorism was revenge against August. Just then, August's men arrive and a shootout endures as they flee outside, where the LAPD and FBI arrive to arrest August's men.
