New Zealand Series
A New Zealand version of Police Stop was made in several series between 1996 and 1998, airing on New Zealand's TV3 and presented by the well-known Australian race car driver Peter Brock (died 2006 in a motorsport accident).
The series format was similar to the overseas versions, utilizing footage from the UK and American versions - with additional New Zealand content, and Peter Brock's presentations.
Later series were renamed Police Stop - Caught in the Act, which in addition to car chase footage, also showed New Zealand filmed scenes of security camera footage, often in stores or public areas. In 1997 and 1998 series, footage also extended to Brock himself alongside the New Zealand Police in action, showing general lines of police work.
A special episode of Police Stop was screened in 2006 a week after Brock's death as a tribute, this was repeat screening of an episode from the final 1998 series.
