A&E 2-part doc series that premieres Part 1 on September 2 at 9pm ET/PT and Part 2 on September 3 at 9pm ET/PT

Synopsis: A&E has set the premiere of the two-night documentary event "The Chicano Squad," chronicling a groundbreaking team of bilingual patrol officers plucked from their beats and suddenly promoted to Detectives to form the first all-Latin homicide unit dedicated to tackling Houston's soaring rate of Latin homicide cases in 1979. Dubbed "The Chicano Squad" by the Houston media, the story of these men who for the next three decades would earn the trust of the community and the department, becoming one of the most highly decorated law enforcement units in the history of Houston, is told through first-hand accounts of the original squad members and those impacted by their work. "The Chicano Squad" premieres Monday, September 2 and Tuesday, September 3 at 9pm ET/PT on A&E.

Finally got around to watching this. Found it to be very well done and very interesting.  Even with my ties to Houston, I hadn't heard about this squad until now.
