The most popular TV series about police in America. The series tells the story of police investigations in Baltimore. It was this series, the favorite of both police officers and gangsters, that helped law enforcement agencies crush a drug trafficking network. Police sources reported that the leaders of the criminal group behaved exactly like the heroes of the TV series, constantly changing their mobile phones, making it difficult to wiretap. During the preparation of the operation, the police extensively used wiretapping of gangsters' phone conversations. As a result, 12 people were arrested, 43 kg of cocaine, $500,000 in cash, 18 firearms, and five expensive cars were seized. The bandits, who turned out to be big fans of "The Wire", besides discussing their own affairs on the phone, also talked about the plot of the next episode. The police officers who were wiretapping them also loved the show. If we missed an episode, we could always find out the details from their conversations, the law enforcement officers said. This crime drama was written, filmed, and produced in Baltimore by former police reporter David Simon.
