Plot
The show focuses on a fictional elite tactical unit, the Strategic Response Unit (SRU), within a Canadian metropolitan police force (styled on the Toronto Police Emergency Task Force). The SRU are tasked to resolve extreme situations that regular officers are not trained to handle including hostage-taking, bomb threats and heavily armed criminals. Although the team is seldom seen doing so, they often discuss their 'day job' of serving high-risk arrest warrants. Equipped with high-tech tools and a cache of weapons and explosives, members use negotiation tactics and intuition to try to avoid the use of deadly force, only implemented when other options are exhausted.

And treason labouring in the traitor’s thought,
And midwife Time the ripened plot to murder brought.”

why are they no help to me now
I want to make
something imagined, not recalled?”
