The protagonist of the CBS police drama "Flashpoint" is a special force of the Toronto Police Department in Canada. The name of this force is the Strategic Response Unit (SRU). The prototype of the SRU character comes from a real emergency task response team (Emergency Task Force) in Toronto. The members of SRU are not ordinary police officers. They have the ability to do things that ordinary police officers cannot do, including: "saving hostages, fighting gangs, dismantling bombs, and operating cutting-edge weapons." They will always risk their lives to save other people's lives. They often use any means to solve problems and save lives in a very short time.
