When the Strategic Response Unit arrives the rules change. The bad guys caught - he just doesnt know it yet. The SRU inspired by Torontos Emergency Task Force is a handpicked team of elite cops. High risk is their business and these men and women do it all rescue hostages bust gangs defuse bombs. Talk down suicidal teens. Protect the Pope. They handle state-of-the-art weapons - sniper rifles flash-bang grenades tasers. They climb the sides of buildings. See through walls. But theyre different from other SWAT teams.

On the scene theyre in charge. No one knows their job better. SRU Constables outrank senior Inspectors - and the Inspectors dont like it. Regular uniforms grumble when pushed aside by the SRU prima donnas. While secretly wishing they were in their place. Its a tough job. A job ...
Review
This show is in it's first season in Australia (glad to see we have a 2nd to look forward to!) Only a half dozen episodes in but so far I'm really enjoying it. Love the way it gives you the 'teaser' at the start then you get the full story leading into the situation. Although it would help if the network airing it here could show the episodes in order for a little continuity... Yeah yeah we all know it's not totally realistic that's why it's called 'entertainment'. I work in police communications here in Melbourne Aus. and I can assure you we NEVER have anything this exciting happen but that's probably not a bad thing. I find the at the end of each episode I'm wondering where the hour went!!
