Yes, it's real.
I lived in Baltimore City. I lived in the nice yuppie area, but as an REO agent, I had to go in and take back the foreclosures in both the good and bad neighborhoods.
There were many times I had to call for a police assist. They were always cool about it. I could tell just how bad the neighborhood was by whether their guns were drawn or not when sweeping.
The dealers have quite an elaborate system of spotters and hand signals.
They also use teens to ride around on illegal dirt bikes to spot the narcs. They use kids because they're less likely to go to jail.
Half the cops are crooked anyway.
