'''DVD cover description'''
From Emmy Award winners John Wells, Ann Biderman and Chris Chulack comes a raw and authentic look at the police unit in Los Angeles. From the beaches of Malibu to the streets of East LA, ''Southland'' is a fast-moving drama that will take you inside the lives of cops, criminals, victims and their families.

[[Michael Cudlitz]] ("A River Runs Through It") plays [[John Cooper]] a seasoned Los Angeles cop, assigned to train young rookie [[Ben Sherman]] ([[Benjamin McKenzie]], "The O.C."). Cooper's honest, no-nonsense approach to the job leaves Sherman questioning whether or not he has what it takes to become a police officer. Cudlitz and McKenzie are joined by cast members [[Regina King]] ("Ray," "Jerry Maguire") who plays Detective [[Lydia Adams]]. Adams lives with and is the primary caregiver of her mother. Her partner, Detective [[Russell Clarke]] ([[Tom Everett Scott]], "Boiler Room") is an unhappily married father of three. [[Michael McGrady]] ("The Thin Red Line") plays Detective [[Daniel Salinger|Daniel "Sal" Salinger]]. Sal oversees fellow gang detectives [[Nate Moretta]] ([[Kevin Alejandro]], "Drive," "Ugly Betty") and [[Sammy Bryant]] ([[Shawn Hatosy]], "Alpha Dog"). [[Arija Bareikis]] ("Crossing Jordan") plays patrol officer [[Chickie Brown]], a single mom who dreams of being the first woman accepted into [[SWAT]].
