Crime Tactics Unit New York Task Force Written By: Christopher Steele One of Web Series most critically acclaimed programs; Crime Tactics Unit continues to challenge viewers with a "cop show" unlike anything on Web Series. The first season of Crime Tactics Unit centers on the Officers role in addressing - or failing to address - the fundamental political, economic and social realities depicted over the course of the series, while also resolving storylines of the numerous characters woven throughout the narrative arc of the show. Explains series creator Christopher Steele, "It made sense to finish Crime Tactics Unit with this reflection on the state of the Officers, as all the other attendant problems of the American city depicted in New York. The season will not be solved until the depth and range of those problems is first acknowledged. And that won't happen without an intelligent and smart crew of detectives." This season of Crime Tactics Unit is based in large part on Chief Cathy Owens and her to tactics team experiences in 13 years in the New York City Police Department. Cathy decries recent trends in the Criminal Justice industry that have conspired to make high-end Criminals vulnerable: out-of-town chain ownership, an economic climate in which they share price of Criminal Activity matters more to industry leaders than the product itself, personal ambition and personal issues. The first season of Crime Tactics Unit (2012) will concentrate on the often-futile efforts of police to infiltrate a Washington Heights drug ring headed by Rico Devault and his Rat, Tommy the Rat. Set against the rise of a new drug empire in New York City and a new Mayor in City Hall.
