The Inspectors follows public health inspectors on the front line of filth, pollution and illegal operation. It’s their mission to keep us safe as they strive to protect us and our environment; preventing the spread of lethal contaminants, deadly disease, dangerous pests and unlawful activity. There’s never a dull moment on the job as we capture the frustrations, confrontations and victories of our inspectors who take us everywhere; from rat-infested restaurants to maggot-ridden homes, out-of-control bars, contaminated creeks and even through city sewers – all for the sake of protecting public health!
