* {{Mockumentary}}: The show's original concept was that a documentary crew was following a Detroit detective squad and the pilot episode was filled with characters acknowledging the camera and the lieutenant even borrowing the soundman's headphones to listen to the feed from Fitch's lav mic. This had to be quickly abandoned (and the show retooled into a straight procedural) after Detroit banned documentary crews from following cops around after a disastrous raid that resulted in the death of a young girl (it was alleged that the police were overly aggressive to put on a good show for the cameras).
