About the show
TV ONE's explosive new series follows the elite Victoria
Police Search and Rescue Squad, Water Police and Air Wing.
Each year the three divisions are put to the test locating lost,
injured and stranded Australians.
Search and
Rescue offers an inside perspective of life in rescue
operations, from locating wayward yachts to savingĀ dogs
trapped down mine shafts.
No geography is out of limits for the
Search and
Rescue squads. Throughout the series the teams will
undertake missions in the snow, bush and water. The work suits only
the most hardened of officers, as a day on the job can involve
retrieving bodies from wreckages and investigating
fatalities.
In the upcoming season,
Search and Rescue will
track officers as they attempt to establish if there's a body
trapped insideĀ a 10 tonne backhoe at the bottom of a quarry.
In a later episode, the team must determine how a man died at a
derelict crane site.
There's also a wayward grandmother, a helicopter crash in a river
and an unexploded bomb at the beach to deal with.
In each episode, the officers candidly discuss their jobs,
revealing just what characteristics are needed to make a hero.
