These departments are the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office in Northeast Tennessee and the Ashe County Sheriff's Office in North Carolina.
The series follows law enforcement personnel in Ashe County, North Carolina and Sullivan County, Tennessee as police battle various crimes such as drug abuse, car theft, and (overwhelmingly) domestic violence.
The series follows relatively the same format as other police reality shows, such as Cops, by featuring three or four investigated crimes, usually half of which are "fast paced" involving a tense arrest or apprehending a fleeing suspect, while the additional segments focus on a longer investigation over several days or weeks.
A similar show Kentucky Justice aired in 2013.
