Episode two
Jenkins' early career as a BPD officer was heavily influenced by the ideology from senior officers in the BPD. If he clears the corners, and arrests as many people as possible, the murder rate will go down. Then the Baltimore mayor will become the Governor of Maryland, due to the high arrest rates and low murder rates. The more arrests Jenkins makes, the more overtime and court appearance fees he'll earn. This is a mentality that he takes into his role on the GTTF. The process of waiving the right to sue the city for a false arrest in order for an early release is highlighted in this episode too.
