POLITIE 24/7

The reality series POLITIE 24/7 is produced for the Dutch Police YouTube channel. The goal of the series is to give a broad, young audience a raw, honest, and unfiltered look into the daily work and dilemmas of officers on the street.

Within the police media team (PDC Rotterdam), there was a need for tight, narrative edits that transform raw bodycam footage into compelling episodes, supported by additional on-location camera work to visually elevate specific operations.

Working with the editorial team in Rotterdam, I edited multiple episodes based on real bodycam footage. For two specific episodes, I also joined the units on the street with a camera to add visual depth to the story on location: during a large-scale fatbike inspection and a bus operation targeting handheld phone use while driving.

By weaving together the raw bodycam perspective with dedicated on-location camera work, the episodes gain extra dynamics, context, and visual storytelling. In the edit, the focus was on building tension, maintaining a sharp pace, and applying supportive sound design, while strictly adhering to privacy guidelines and carefully blurring individuals involved.
