So I notice there isn't any talk about this show. I've done a highlights reel of episodes 1-7 and the 'interesting' bits.

Personally as its in the same three "repeating segment" arrangement you don't get a lot of action but its better than nothing, although never as good as The Force of course
Monday's Channel 7, 7:30pm.

Yeah I agree Yorky... It's an okay show but it runs like it was written by or for people suffering from ADHD and they stretch about 7 minutes of actual content into half an hour with ads...

It also seems to have less variety compared to The Force - both in the content (TF covers a wider range of policing), and also in the officers. Have you noticed that the same people seem to be in front of the camera in HP?
Having said that, I still watch it (and fast foward the ads) - it's still mildly entertaining

Yes it appears to be the same 3-4 officers in the same vehicles in the same areas. And obviously limited to traffic related stuff.
I'm always annoyed at the over zealous voice over or the ads for the show (and like many current ads for Seven)...
