Police officers are obliged to give an account of every incident
they are involved in. But what happened today will never be logged.
Because that's what police solidarity means: what happens in the
van stays in the van. Well, not always. Not this time. What really
happens behind the walls of a police station? To answer this
question, investigative journalist Valentin Gendrot put his life on
hold for two years and became the first journalist in history to
infiltrate the police undetected. Within three months of training
to become an officer, he was given a permit to carry a weapon in
public. And although he lived in daily fear of being discovered, in
his book Gendrot hides nothing. Assigned to work in a tough area of
Paris where tensions between the law and locals ran high, Gendrot
witnessed police brutality, racism, blunders, and cover-ups. But he
also saw the oppressive working conditions that officers endured,
and mourned the tragic suicide of a colleague. Asking important
questions about who holds institutional power and how we can hold
them to account, Cop is a gripping expose of a world never before
seen by outsiders.
