Gene Roddenberry's Earth: Final Conflict

              Taken from the official web site

Gene Roddenberry's Earth: Final Conflict is a futuristic
action/science fiction series set on the planet Earth early in the
next century. The series begins three years after the arrival of
an advanced species of aliens, called TAELONS or COMPANIONS, who
are lending their superior technology and wisdom to help the young
Earth solve its most pressing problems: famine, disease, war.

The series started with our hero, former police officer WILLIAM
BOONE, thwarting an assassination attempt on the American
Companion, DA'AN. Boone is then recruited by the Taelons as
"Commander of Security and Interspecies Relations" for the Central
United States. At the same time, a budding Resistance movement,
whose members are convinced that the Taelons have a darker purpose
beyond all of their benevolent acts, approaches him. Boone is
swayed when the Taelons attempt to "implant" him with a
Cyber-Viral Implant (CVI) which will redirect his loyalties and
increase his mental capacities, and hence his usefulness to the
Companions. His decision becomes final when his wife is killed in
a Taelon-instigated "accident," intended to insure Boone's
complete devotion to the Companions. He chooses to work for the
Resistance while retaining his insider status within the Companion
structure. Boone's driving motivation is to peel back the layers
of Companion plans and learn the deep secret of their intentions
for Earth.

titled "Battleground: Earth."
