In the 6th season of the ARD documentary series Nachtstreife, the focus once again is on the Hamburg police.

Police officers from various precincts, the Criminal Investigation Department, and the 'Auto Poser Unit' show how diverse, demanding, and often emotional police work can be in a major city. From suspected arson to daring burglary cases, and even a tragic discovery of a body, the Hamburg police handle a wide range of incidents.
