About this show

FLASHPOINT is a drama that depicts an emotional journey into the tough, risk-filled lives of a group of cops in the Strategic Response Unit (SRU), (inspired by Toronto's Emergency Task Force). It's a unique unit that rescues hostages, busts gangs, defuses bombs, climbs the sides of buildings and talks down suicidal teens. Members of a highly skilled tactical team, they're also trained in negotiating, profiling and getting inside the suspect's head to diffuse the situation to try and save lives.

Truly one of the best series ever! It had everything you could want in a drama. Real life events, emotion, love, deception, mistakes, trust, guilt and forgiveness. This team demonstrated what on the job family should be. Sadden to see it leave.
