Hard Reset

Summary
Hard Reset is the First Episode of the First season of APB.

Plot
The episode begins with an introduction into the business company known as Reeves Industries and its founder, Gideon Reeves, who interrupts it and presents a new drone to several different people from oil companies that is able to put out fires with the use of a concussive charge. While the demonstration impresses some of the people, others are filing lawsuits, according to Reeves Industries CFO Elliott James Sully, Gideon's friend. One evening, Gideon enters a liquor store in the 13th district to buy a cigarette when the store is attacked by a masked man, and Elliot is shot to death while saving Gideon, who was trying to call the police.

At the police department in the 13th district, Gideon gives his statement to the police and sees the old and faulty equipment around the station and how the police are either being laid off or unable to do their jobs without warrants or leads due to budget cuts.

Six weeks later, Gideon approaches the mayor and purchases the 13th district police department and upgrades the police force with his company's technology, including new body armor, Tasers, cruisers, and an app that allows users to call in real-time, GPS-based crimes from anywhere in the district.
