In America we call it SWAT, Special Weapons And Tactics. But in Canada it's Strategic Response Unit. These are the guys called in when in Toronto where the series takes place. They're not just go in and blast the hell out of the perpetrator. They do hostage negotiation among other things and the weapons at times are designed to try and take the victim alive. As often as not that's what happens in Flashpoint.
This was a good Canadian police drama as we saw a lot of the various stories that unfolded from both a police and a perpetrator point of view. Enrico Colantoni headed the unit and regulars included series David Paetkau and former Power Ranger Amy Jo Johnson.
The couple of episodes I saw showed a nice series. A shame our neighbors to the north decided to cancel it.
