You can watch 36th Precinct (2004) for free on Hoopla.

In Paris, two cops are competing for the vacant job of chief of police, in the middle of the search for a gang of violent thieves. The movie is directed by Olivier Marchal, a former police officer who spent 12 years with the French police before creating this story, taken in part from real events of the 1980s.

A weary, lived-in intensity radiates from the screen as veteran officers clash over a promotion amidst a chaotic hunt for violent thieves. This procedural feels strikingly authentic because the director spent over a decade working the very streets he now depicts.
