Synopsis

The New Detectives centers around murders that are committed in North America and the forensics used to convict the murderers of their crimes.[7] The New Detectives show re-enactments and dramatizations of events surrounding a murder. Real file footage is shown on occasion. Unlike The FBI Files, The New Detectives' sister show, also produced by Tom Golden and New Dominion Pictures, The New Detectives mostly centers around murders that police departments solve without assistance from the FBI, but there have been episodes where the FBI was called in to assist with particularly serious crimes.
