In contrast with his other films, director John Sayles didn't have to do any research on the film, because he based so much of it on his own experiences.

Many of Sayles's relatives have worked for the police force. Their experiences, Sayles has said, have given him a more sympathetic, but not necessarily less harsh, view of the police. When Sayles talked to people about their reaction to CITY OF HOPE, many of them found his depiction of a cop who refuses to go along with a cover-up unbelievable.
