Police Recruiting Videos with Carl Kriss

We bring on our videographer, Carl Kriss, to unpack the documentary-style approach we use to create authentic police recruiting videos. Carl shares how his background in documentary filmmaking starts with listening: aligning on the department’s vision, choosing the right officers to feature, running one-on-one pre-interviews, and building relationships before a camera ever comes out. That work lets the final product feel unscripted and human, not staged or salesy.
