The drama follows the lives of a group of police officers who have just graduated from the academy.

The series premiered on June 24, 2010 on Global in Canada.[2] It also airs simultaneously on ABC in the U.S.[3]

The original pilot script was written by Ilana Frank, after which thirteen episodes were ordered by Canwest.[4] Casting began in June with Missy Peregrym being cast first and Gregory Smith shortly after. Production of the first season started July 14, 2009 and continued through November 2009.[5]

The series was renewed for a second season on July 12, 2010, after only three episodes had aired.[6] On July 13, 2011 the show was renewed for a third season.[7]

Three episodes into the third season, the series was renewed for a fourth season.

On July 17, 2013, the series was renewed for a fifth season.
