Nightwatch 10 Big Search

Come with us when we explore the life and activities of the police nightwatch. Reality-based crime series of 1954-1955.

Series information: Nightwatch is a crime documentary that highlights real footage of real cases. The crimes were caught on tape as reporter Donn Reid wore a wire and rode along with police office Sergeant Ron Perkins on the night shift – from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. when crimes were most likely to occur. It is completely unscripted with no special effects or any other kind of soundtrack. It is simply the sounds and the voices of your police force in action in real situations, which are often exciting and dramatic. In fact, Donn Reid was shot at in one episode and he was also stabbed in a different episode.
