FBI Director James Comey is allowing filmmakers access to the bureau’s New York offices for a year to film a new documentary TV series.
“We have to care what people think about us,” Comey explained during an interview at the Newseum in Washington, D.C. “The faith and confidence of the American people is the bedrock.”
The series, “Inside the FBI: New York,” will be produced by Dick Wolf, the creator of “Law and Order,” and documentarian Marc Levin, CBS News reports.
Comey hopes the series will improve the FBI’s image after the bureau’s controversial handing off the Hillary Clinton investigation last year.
“I worry sometimes that people don’t know us,” Comey said. “We did a lot last year that confused people.”
The filmmakers already captured video of the FBI’s responses to terrorism between September 2015 and September 2016.
