Dr. Phil heads to New Orleans to offer much needed hope and healing for the rescuers. 

A Tour of New Orleans

Part war zone, part ghost town.

Fighting For His City

“We’re saving people’s lives and they’re shooting at us!” 

A Devastated Police Force

The hurricane left most of New Orleans’s police officers homeless, but they continue to serve and protect their city. Two of the city’s finest open their home as a refuge for 25 officers.

Dr. Phil Meets the SWAT Team

Donning a bulletproof vest, Dr. Phil gears up for a night out with two brothers on the New Orleans SWAT team.  Using night-vision cameras, they search a neighborhood for the “bad guys.”

“These are the hardest working people that you will ever see in your life,” says Dr. Phil.
