Peace Officer

“Peace Officer” is a documentary that explores the growing militarization of police forces in the United States, narrated through the experiences of Dub Lawrence. Lawrence, a former sheriff, founded the first SWAT team in his rural state, only to witness this very unit fatally shoot his son-in-law during a contentious standoff three decades later. Motivated by a relentless pursuit of justice, Dub employs his investigative skills to reveal the truth behind this incident and other recent police shootings in his area, while also addressing broader issues concerning the evolving role of law enforcement officers across the country.
