yeah I think the issue there is being able to get a car ahead of the chase, that has a strip, most chases I hear are aborted or crashed/pulled over before anyone can get ahead

The Pilot of the show (1st episode) that was Filmed and pitched to the network was filmed with the Kalgoorlie Police. Most other episodes are filmed in the metro area however some country stuff will be featured.

I assume they will still use the Kal Police footage as the first episode.

The producers have indicated that if it rates well a second season will be filmed with WAPOL

Driving to petrol station an hour ago, drove past what I think was UQ101 with a FWD behind it carrying a camera crew. Traffic stop, camera crew got out with camera, mic etc.

Driving home short time later passed same vehicle with same camera crew, traffic stop with someone else.

UQ101 didn't exsist, they start at UQ102-116.

There is a good little write up on what you can expect to see on The Force in this weeks The West Magazine.

You can find the magazine in the Saturday paper

Here is a snippet from the mag.

"The Force will include everything from the day-to-day grind of police work to hostage situations, major drug busts and even when the police have to call the Tactical Response Group to assist them in the most dangerous situations."[/quote]
