LatestThe squad works during a full moon. Suarez and Beatrice receive unexpected news. The squad works to prevent a tragedy.
The day-to-day life of two unwilling partners of the Montreal Police Department, Officers Nick Barron and Ben Chartier. These two beat cops patrol the urban sprawl of downtown's 19th district, in cruiser No. 2. 19-2 is about the tensions and bonds that develop between two incompatible men of very different temperaments and life experiences. Over time, Nick and Ben's mistrust and antagonism for each other give way to moments of mutual respect and a wavering chance at a true partnership.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The famous school shooting episode was filmed in a single 13-minute take with hidden cuts, requiring 18 full rehearsals over four days.
Adapted from the French-Canadian original '19-2', but the creators insisted on keeping it distinctly Québécois rather than generic North American — hence the bilingual tension and specific Montreal geography that American shows erase.
