The City That Couldn’t Pay Its Own Police | A Financial Documentary

For years, the city looked normal.
Streetlights turned on. Police answered calls. Budgets were approved.

But behind the scenes, the money was already gone.

This documentary examines how a city reached the point where it could no longer afford its own police force — not through scandal or corruption, but through incentives, assumptions, debt, and promises made decades earlier.

Told in a calm, long-form format, this episode explores municipal finance, pensions, tax revenue, bond markets, and the quiet mechanics of financial decline.

This is not breaking news.
It is an evergreen financial story about what happens after the money leaves.

After The Money Left documents systems — not headlines.

Best viewed on TV or as background listening.
