Flint Town is an eight episode American documentary television series that was released on Netflix on March 2, 2018. The documentary focuses on the thoughts and conflicted emotions of police officers serving to protect urban areas of Flint, Michigan struggling with poverty, crime, financially strapped public services and the Flint water crisis. The series covers a period from November 2015 to early 2017, the same time frame as the 2016 presidential election. The department captured on-screen is down from 300 officers to 98 for 100,000 people, the lowest number out of comparably sized cities. Over the course of the episodes, the police faced a crucial millage vote and a city government wrangling over funding.
