Inspired by true events, APB centers around the over-extended and under-funded Chicago Police Department. Sky-high crime, cover-ups and officer-involved shootings have led to the department spiraling out of control.
Billionaire engineer Gideon Reeves has suffered the loss of his best friend in a botched attempted robbery. With the killer still at large, Reeves demands justice. Putting up his own money, he decides to take over the troubled 13th District and reboot it as a private police force. Cutting-edge technology created by Reeves himself is brought in and he challenges the officers to think outside the box in how they deal with crime.
But not everyone in the district is happy with the changes. So Reeves starts buidling himself a team of allies, including Officer Theresa Murphy (a street-smart cop who is willing to embrace Reeves’ technology) and Ada Hamilton (Reeves’ gifted tech officer). But can this trio convince Reeves’ skeptics, including Sgt. Ned Conrad and Officers Nicholas Brant and Tasha Goss, to move crime fighting into the 21st century?
