We offer Experience & Authenticity for you to provide Realistic Integrity.

We review scripts in a strictly advisory role making recommendations on content and context to ensure technical accuracy regarding law, policy, and administrative and tactical procedures. This may include, but is not limited to, arrest, custody/detention, operational planning and execution, vernacular, dynamics, surveillance, and codes.

We work with actors in groups or individually in pre-production and on-set environments via class presentations and trainings to assist in their law enforcement role development. The extent of the training relies heavily on the showrunners/directors and the actor's desire, and can range from degrees of familiarity to method, e.g., immersion to emersion.

Be The Badge works on-set, available for consultation to writers, directors, actors, props, costume/wardrobe, make-up, and wherever else we can add value. Sets are often dynamic and we stand at the ready to assist with any adaptations.
