Plot

Cops L.A.C. revolves around the police operations of Seaview Local Area Command. Superintendent Jack Finch, a seasoned officer is the Local Area Commander, with Crime Manager Detective Inspector Diane Pappas at his side. The uniforms stationed at Seaview handle anything from general police response calls, to investigation of assaults and muggings; with detectives dealing with cases involving drug dealers and car crashes, shootings, stabbings and armed robbery.[4]

Production

The first series consisted of thirteen episodes and was initiated by Jo Horsburgh and commissioned by the Nine Network in 2009, it was produced by Diane Haddon,[5] Lisa Scott and in-house by the Nine Network Drama Department. Production started on 27 May 2010 and ended on 11 November 2010, after various schelduling changes. Tim Pye, a writer on the series described the show as “like The Bill but with a higher body count.” When researching the real-life Local Area Command, he discovered “the more you research the business of policing, the more wondrous it is that people do it… But they stick with it and love it.”[6] Filming will wrapped up for the first series in mid-September 2010.[7]

In November 2010, it was reported that the show had been labelled a "dud". Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, an insider said that the show was almost certain to be axed after production on a Christmas DVD of the drama was cancelled.[8]
