This is the true story of Richard Lewis, as he spent two decades patrolling one of New York's highest crime area. He had to fight not only crime, but struggled with racism inside the police department, as the color black was often more important the the NYPD Blue. He twice was awarded the Medal of Honor, and was acknowledged by President Ronald Reagan. Lewis' life was a crusade against crime; he was one of the brightest and bravest of those who carry a badge.
