NEW YORK — Law&Crime, a leader in legal and true crime broadcasting, has unveiled “Switched” as the latest addition to its diverse programming roster.
The reality show, developed by former police officer and popular influencer Ryan Tillman, aims to revolutionize perceptions of law enforcement through a unique role-reversal concept where civilians experience the duties of police officers.
“Switched” re-enacts real police encounters with civilians stepping into the shoes of law enforcement. Ryan Tillman, the show’s host, expressed his motivation behind the series, stating, “My purpose in life is to bridge the gap between law enforcement and the community. We’re so divided right now, and as a Black police officer, I’m in a unique position to resonate with both sides. With ‘Switched’ coming to the Law&Crime Network, I’m hoping to change the people’s perception of police one person at a time.”
The program builds on Tillman’s extensive career in policing and his efforts to effect change through his organization, Breaking Barriers United, which offers coaching and mentoring services to law enforcement to encourage professional development and community building.
Through this work, Tillman has amassed a loyal social media following with over 112K followers on Instagram and 254K subscribers on YouTube. When not working on the ground, he can be seen on “On Patrol: Live” on REELZ as one of their newest guest hosts in Season 2.
“Switched” will premiere on the Law&Crime Network on April 13 at 9 p.m. ET and will also be available on video on demand. Viewers can watch the show by visiting Law&Crime’s channel here.
