Plot: A team of psychologist have random chosen a group of Los Angeles Detectives to be apart of a program in which assigns a cameraman to follow them as they go about their daily activities on the job; and assigning the detectives to meet with an assigned psychologist every 2 days to discuss their feelings on what they are doing. Join two LAPD detectives as they investigate the murder of someone who would appear to be killed without meaning on purpose. On the surface, it would appear that PATROL is just another cop drama, but one will soon discover that PATROL is not your typical police drama. It is a reflection of the human experience and an emulation of the reality that many police officers and victims experience.

Quotes:
John Smith: When your life is defined by a single action, it changes the concept of time.
Laura Porter: It's just that anytime I hang on to any bit of hope it gets taken away from me.
Gordon Camrose: Though it wasn't the only reason I watched out for him. And I tried to explain that to him. He was one of my true friends.::Wade Porter: Mine too.
Officer Collins: Close 13. [door closes]::Snowman: Come on. I'm supposed to be in PC the rest of my term. Jackson said.::Officer Collins: Jackson's dead... you can get up.
[last lines]::John Smith: Usually I'm quoting someone else's words. The least I can do is give you some John Smith originals. They won't be poetic. But they'll be the truth. Yes, prison desensitizes you. But it also forces you to see what's most important. Family. And loyalty. Because a con like you knows neither exists in this place. So don't run from who you've become, felon. Embrace it. Grow from it. And you'll never lose sight of what truly matters. That's my final piece of advice, Wade Porter. You protect your family at all costs. Even if you're forced to kill again. Because if i had to, I'd wipe out the whole planet to get mine back. So long, friend.
John Smith: What a piece of work is man. And there is no good or bad, but thinking makes it so. Human beings are perhaps never more dangerous than when they are convinced beyond a doubt that they are right. Patience. Penance.
Wade Porter: [to Laura] Stay in this room.
LA Judge: [to Wade] This court sentences you to three years in state prison.
John Smith: [first words to his new cell mate] You jerk off? Face the wall. You break wind? Put your ass to the door. You shit or piss? In the can. You do all that, we'll get along famously.
Gordon Camrose: You gotta stop living in the past, John.::John Smith: Hey, I am the past.
