About
This film focuses on a black burglary suspect who, during interrogation by police offers his services as an "undercover" informant - providing the police will suppress his charge.
This film is part of the Pittsburgh Police Series. Produced in the late 1960s at a time of heightened civil disorder and racial tension, the seventeen films in the series were intended for educational and institutional use to provoke discussion about policing practices. The films remain a raw and intimate window into community policing.
