ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

Take an inside look at the world of the New Orleans Police Department, during what locals describe as “the greatest free show on Earth.” From car chases and gun raids outside the historic French Quarter, to the 24-hour bash on Bourbon Street, MARDI GRAS COPS chronicles how police patrol The Big Easy. As spectators pack parade routes and millions of tourists spill onto the streets, we follow the N.O.P.D. as they bust up brawls, make lewd conduct arrests and keep the controlled chaos of Mardi Gras from becoming complete and utter pandemonium. Premiered on Travel Channel, USA.
