Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2.5/4 --
Surpasses the best episode of the now defunct "CSI" series in its suspense and fascinating procedural detail and rivals the intensity, ingenuity, and broader ramifications of Errol Morris's "The Thin Blue Line."

Rating: 3/4 --
Lawrence acts as a genial and knowledgable guide to the film's true subject, and the source of its titular irony: the increasing militarization of law enforcement.

Washington Post
While "Peace Officer" could offer more information, what is here is disturbing and sometimes eye-opening.

New York Times
Rating: 2.5/4 --
One aspect the filmmakers do make clear is that a disconnect has sprouted between police and ordinary citizens who ... feel threatened by the very people who are sworn to protect and serve them.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Follow Dub Lawrence, a former sheriff who established and trained his rural states first SWAT team as he states the facts about increasingly militarized American police and explains how the SWAT team he trained killed his son-in-law during a controversial standoff. Driven by an obsessed sense of mission, Dub uses his own investigation skills to find the truth in this and other officer-involved shootings in his community, while taking on larger questions about the changing face of peace officers nationwide. This Blu-ray edition comes with more exclusive bonus featurettes and extended interviews about controversial police incidents. English subtitles for the deaf and hearing impaired included.
