"Police and legal series have been a mainstay of the Studio’s roster and the Network’s schedule for decades,” said CBS TV Studios president David Stapf. "We have an opportunity to build on that successful foundation going forward, and having the insightful and highly respected advisors from 21CP Solutions at our disposal is a valuable resource to our creative process."
Added Tiffany Smith-Anoa'i, executive vp diversity and inclusion at ViacomCBS, "Providing our writing staffs with the best and most knowledgeable technical advisers offers more inclusivity and perspective. With deeper and richer narratives, our shows can convey experiences that are more authentic to the communities they depict."
Davis headed the Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services from 2013-17 and led a task force on 21st century policing during the Obama administration.
"I applaud CBS Studios for recognizing the impact its police and legal series have on the relationship between police and the communities they serve and on public perceptions on law enforcement, crime and race,” said Davis.
R. Scott Gemmill, executive producer and showrunner of NCIS: Los Angeles, said he's "very excited" to work with the 21CP team. "Having an audience of millions of viewers each week comes with a great deal of responsibility. This new partnership will help us ensure that our storytelling continues to produce accurate portrayals of law enforcement, and will hopefully allow us to play a small part in the ongoing reform moving forward.
