    Pride and Glory is a good movie on the NYPD and the corruption that was rife in it

    If anyone likes Serpico then an often overlooked classic by the same director, Sidney Lumet, is Prince of The City. Similar story and also fact based. Well worth a look, and apparently experts thought it so authentic that the DEA were screening it as part of the training for new officers at one time.

    The Shawshank Redemption. Well technically prison officers are not police I don't think, but close.
