Nevermind how I felt about that other cop show about Memphis, I have a total soft spot for  TLC's "Police Women of Memphis". The reality show follows MPD officers Andrea Olson, Arica Logan, Joy Jefferson and Virginia Awkward (whose name tag reads "V. Awkward") as they patrol the city. Think of it as the anti-"Memphis Beat". It's a reality show, not a narrative (though some of the scenes come off as being a little scripted). The officers on the show aren't caricatures and the city doesn't really play a starring role. The crimes on "Police Women" run the gamut. Some of the calls are completely routine, some are absolutely ridiculous (like the man who's roaming the neighborhood in his tightey whiteys), and some are tragic (drowning victims, domestic violence and fights). I've heard a lot of people say that they dislike "Police Women" because it focuses on crime in Memphis. I get that - I wish we didn't have any crime to spotlight. Most of the crime on the show (like most of the crime in Memphis) is between people that know each other in parts of town that tourists aren't likely to frequent. What I find most redeeming about the show is how proud it makes me of our police force. All of the featured officers are tough, smart, and compassionate while handling some very unpleasant situations (if you need an example, check out this post about Officer Jefferson standing up for some transgendered women). It's seriously impressive. You can catch "Police Women of Memphis" on TLC at 7 p.m. on Thursday nights, or watch full episodes online.
