Ok, the trailer is complete and headed for a cast viewing tonight. I will talk with the Executive Producer to see if I can post about the show. As soon as I have a copy that I can post, I will.

Ok guys, here's the info about the show:

TAKE DOWN is a new contest show that pits local law enforcement agents against a fugitive on the run and a ticking clock!

We have put together an amazing team of local officers, and one really fast fugitive, to make what we feel will be a fun and exciting show! Our intent is to expand the teams to include local fire departments and military in our upcoming episodes, and pit them against other units to compete for monies to improve their departments, and in turn, their own safety.

All footage was shot on location in Central Louisiana, using all local talent, from our officers to our film crew! Please help us support TAKE DOWN by adding us as a FRIEND and following us on Twitter! We look forward to hearing from you!

PLOT OUTLINE - The SWAT team, composed of local law enforcement agents, must apprehend the fugitive within 24 hours in order to win cash to purchase gear for their departments. If the fugitive can evade capture for 24 hours, he/she gets to walk away with the prize money. The SWAT team has years of experience and tactical training on their side, the fugitive just has his/her wits and a 30 minute head start!

Now, you can go to FaceBook and search TakeDown. You will find pictures from the shoot and just posted this afternoon, a teaser clip of the trailer. The full version will be posted soon. You will see my Expy in the vedio and still pics of it!!

Please let me know what y'all think.

Yes, a few times my heart was in my throat. The SWAT memeber that was driving is a Captain with the local SO and has been on SWAT and head of trainging/range for probably 20+ years. After a few of the scenes I told him I thought he was going to roll it. His replay, "nope, independent suspension is awsome!!" Oh that made me feel better! LOL He told me that he thought my Expy handled better than any of the other units he has driven over the years. Knowing this guy, he has the pull to change vehicles when the time comes.

Just out of curiosity, did he mention how many times the RSC was activated during the hard driving? Or was it disabled? I know that on mine when I get a hard lean the computer takes over and kills power to allow me to straighten out. It's a good system but there are times I wish more driver input was allowed before the electro gadgets take over.

While this sounds cool, I don't get how this would work as a reality show. Its obviously not a real fugitive, so all the investigative stuff won't work unless it's staged. I'm pretty sure with a 30 minute head start if I can go unseen for an hour, I can stay out of sight for 24. Hell, just go to a crappy $30 a night motel or walk around Wal-Mart for a while.

To really track down a fugitive you question neigbors, relatives, known associates, old employers. Thats how I find people I am looking for. So you'd need a bunch of role players to act as your informants and give clues. It's like Where in the World is Carmen Santiego.

Can't wait to see the trailer though. Did you get any compensation? Does your truck have a SAG card now? You should have asked them if you could be "Guy on the street #4". They could have filmed you pointing and saying "He went that way!". They you'd be an instant star.

this seems pretty close to the show abc had on this summer. The contestants get a briefcase with 100k. they have 1hr to hide the briefcase. then they are detained and interrogated. and then the detectives have 24 hrs to find it.
