Whether it’s permanent criminal duty, police or motorway police – the challenges are diverse and demanding. The documentary series “Night Patrol” accompanies Mainz police officers on their nighttime operations and provides an authentic insight into their work.
01. A deathly cold night
Commissioners Neuhaus and Gillot are supposed to investigate two deaths. A man suddenly dies at home and a young man dies from his crossbow. Foreign influence? This death is very close to the detectives' minds.
02. Screaming at night
On the run with a hammer: Inspector Jung and her boss Enders pursue a perpetrator in Mainz's old town. Back at the station things get difficult: a rioting prisoner screams like he's out of his mind.
