Patrolman, You Have a Problem

One of over thirty police training films produced by Murray Woroner, "Patrolman You Have a Problem" was released by Motorola Teleprogram Center.Created in conjunction with the Miami Dade Police Department (and others), each film in the series examines an aspect of police conduct and training. In this specific film, the viewer is shown scenarios in which rookie cops are exposed to the cynical attitudes and reckless actions of seasoned veterans. Here, the words and actions of the sergeants and other senior police officers appear contradictory to the code of conduct and what was taught to the trainees in the police academy. The goal of the film is to create a discussion about "doing the right thing" and, of course, to reinforce the code of conduct. The film was produced by Woroner Films, inc and scripts and research were carried out by Frank Augustine, Sam Harris, Miami Dade Community College, and Bal Harbour Police Department of Florida.
