April 10, 2008 -- Virgin Media Television has commissioned UK producer October Films to
make a new factual crime series on location in the Caribbean.
Caribbean
Cops (8x60') is bound for Virgin's general entertainment channel Virgin
1 and will sit in the broadcaster's primetime schedule this summer.
The series will be shot on location in Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago,
and St Lucia, and will capture the drama behind policing these holiday
destinations and keeping the islands safe.
Throughout the series, cameras follows each of the islands' local
police forces in their battles against international drug smuggling,
gun crime and homicide, as well as other crimes directly linked with
the tourist trade.
Daniela Neumann, Virgin 1's acting director of programming, described
the series as "a perfect example of Virgin 1's strategy to create
compelling, populist primetime factual programming that both informs
and entertains."
