Sinopsis

Sergeant Al Ramon and Officer Luis Mendez know that policing New York City essentially means managing chaos. The volume of radio calls for police service makes it virtually impossible to patrol and enforce the law for every infraction of state penal law. Beneath the city, policing is even more challenging. Officers patrolling Transit Manhattan South face the same hazards as street crime cops, but the tunnels and trains make it much more difficult to affect an apprehension; the transit systems provides criminals with an elaborate labyrinth that help them elude to police.When Sergeant Ramon is ordered to tighten discipline and improve the transit cops' performance through the N.Y.P.D's tickets and arrests quotas, he faces a tough decision: motivate "activity" or lose his job due to department budget cuts. Watching his platoon every move is newly-assigned Inspector Dek, sent in to ensure transit officers meet the departments demands.MoleMen, a dark, fictional comedy, is loosely based on the politics and policing in New York City. Follow Ramon and Mendez as they try to save their transit buddies' jobs. You'll experience the same day-to-day frustrations and pressures police officers feel to issue summonses and make the arrests that sell the public on efficient policing. MoleMen shows how quickly officers can lose touch with the public as they generate the quotas for which One Police Plaza and the mayor hunger.
