CHASED: THE STORY OF BILLY CHASE

By: Criminal Minded Media
  • Summary

  • Billy Chase could be killed at any moment. He was arguably the finest Undercover Cop inside the War on Drugs in Connecticut. He produced big numbers and put away big-time dealers. To them, Billy Chase is not just any undercover cop. He grew up in their neighborhood, went to school with them, and has had the audacity to infiltrate their drug world. Billy Chase was also an outcast in his own racist police department. Many times undercover he has been mistaken for the very criminal element he seeks. The already perilous job of maneuvering in plain clothes takes on one more intense layer when the officer is black or Latino. The story of Billy Chase undercover in the War on Drugs in the 1980s also is a defining tale about a City under siege, and how that time defined the future of politics, policing, and mass incarceration. Executive produced by acclaimed journalist Lennie Grimaldi, Chased: The Story of Billy Chase is a limited series that delves deep into the crack-era and the slow mental decline of an officer who just went too deep. Based on rare micro-cassette audio interviews of Billy Chase, Chased will be a franchise that delves into deeply personal narratives inside the guts of American Cities.
