A reality-TV show highlighting the crime-fighting work of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department will present its season premiere next week.

“The Shift” is a one-hour Discovery Channel series that follows a team of IMPD homicide detectives around the clock, according to the Discovery Web site.

IMPD is highlighted on “The Shift” because of the unit’s high rate of solving cases, according to the show’s producers. Detectives include Christine Mannina, Lesia Moore, Tom Tudor, Jesse Beavers, Chuck Benner and Todd Lappin; as well as their supervisors, Deputy Chief William Benjamin, Lt. Kevin Kelly and Sgt. Jeff Breedlove.

The second season of “The Shift” starts at 10 p.m. Wednesday and will feature the investigation of the robbing and stabbing of a retired factory worker.

The next day, homicide detectives will discuss their roles in these crime series at the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department North District Task Force meeting at 3 p.m. Thursday at the 38th Street Branch Library, 5420 E. 38th St.
