* One episode had an Officer's car stuck on the train tracks (pictured to the right) all while a train was slowly moving towards it. Granted, he does get help from some officers to move the vehicles off the tracks (and they move it successfully) but this scene is still ParanoiaFuel. [[FridgeHorror Just imagine if the train suddenly came speeding down the tracks and the officer was still in the car]]...

* The 1991 "Homicide" special edition for obvious reasons. The intro alone included dead bodies both [[ZippingUpTheBodybag covered]] and uncovered, trails of bloodshed and other terrifying imagery.

* One episode had a man calling the cops to inform them that he had shot and killed his best friend in self-defense. However, upon viewing the man's body and its position (where he was slumped onto the floor, DiesWideOpen and with a ''slice of pizza'' dangling out of his mouth), it was pretty obvious that there was much more to the story than what he had told him and the officers subsequently arrested him.

Was discussed in the forum as being faked, finally removed it.


* This one banned episode absolutely takes the cake. A 15-year-old girl calls the cops after her grandma went to investigate a noise outside their house and never came back, leaving her alone in a pitch-black house. Once the cops get there, she finally comes outside and leads them to the abandoned horse pen where she last saw her grandmother go. Everything is completely, disturbingly silent for the entire time and almost completely dark, until a blonde woman throws herself against the bars, and hysterically begs them to help her. However, the real horror comes as she looks to her right and screams at the top of her lungs as a woman wearing all black runs towards them, screaming and brandishing a knife. She is quickly gunned down by a shotgun-wielding cop, which instantly turns the girl into a screaming wreck. She then points out another knife-wielding woman charging at them, who's quickly shot by the same cop. He tells the cameraman and the girl to run as more gunshots ring out. The cameraman ends up driving off with the girl, [[NothingIsScarier but it's unknown what happened to her grandmother, those cops, or the woman that begged them for help.]]

* It's rare, but when the officers have to use their guns, it's usually frightening and sudden.
* How erratic and unpredictable some of the criminals act, especially the drug users.

* In general, all the drunks that the police catch on the road. Think how many people were sharing the road with them, and how close they might have come to getting hurt because this one idiot won't call a friend, a cab, or just sleep it off. Heck, although it's completely unofficial, in some smaller jurisdictions the police themselves will, depending on the situation and/or their workload at the time, give you a ride home.
