Highway Patrol takes a rare fly-on-the-wall glimpse into the working lives of the Australian police officers who spend their days striving to keep our roads safe. From high-speed chases to violent conflicts and catching speeding drivers to investigating crash scenes, officers of the Victoria Police Traffic Units spend each day on the front line.
As part of their job, the officers featured in Highway Patrol deal with drunken hooligans, defiant law breakers and simply lazy motorists, and they all pose an equal danger to themselves and others. These officers are passionate about their work, proud of what they do on a daily basis and invite viewers into their remarkable world in Highway Patrol.
Seven Head of Factual Programming Dan Meenan said Highway Patrol was a great complement to Seven’s high-performing portfolio of observational docudramas:
“In the tradition of such successful shows like Border Security and The Force, Highway Patrol puts the viewers right in the thick of things. It's non-stop action right from the start.”
Highway Patrol was produced by Greenstone Pictures for Channel Seven with the cooperation of Victoria Police.
