CRIME 360 to shoot a season in Rochester
The Rochester/Finger Lakes Film and Video Office has been working with the Producers of CRIME 360 (A&E) since April 2008 and we are pleased to announce that the Rochester Police Department has entered into an agreement with the producers of the A&E television show, Crime 360, and will be featured on future episodes of the show, Rochester police Chief David Moore said Monday..
Rochester police officers will not be the only local public safety agency to be featured on the program, which follows police officers as they use cutting-edge technology, such as computer generated imagery, to investigate crimes.
Monroe County's Crime Lab, District Attorney's Office, Medical Examiner's Office and Emergency Communications Department, who all work closely with RPD, will be part of the production, said Rochester police Officer Deidre Taccone.
"Rochester was chosen because of the outstanding cooperation between the RPD and its law enforcement partners in investigating and solving crimes as well as prosecuting the guilty," program producer Robert Curran said in a printed statement.
The arrangement involving A&E, Rochester police and the other offices is currently being worked out, Taccone said. She added that the partnership is a year-long agreement, in which if there is a homicide, A&E producers will be called and they will be allowed to send a crew to film Rochester police homicide investigators going through the whole investigation process.
However, part of the agreement is that Rochester police must approve all footage before it airs on the show, Taccone said.
The show airs at 11 p.m. Thursdays on A&E. It was not immediately known when the episodes with Rochester officers would air.
