## Premise

*SRT:LA* follows a specialized "Special Response Team" division of the Los Angeles S.W.A.T. organization, with a focus on fast responses to events occurring in the Los Angeles area. The division is led by SRT Supervisory Officer Amelia Sutton, portrayed by Liz Vassey.

Emily VanCamp, Alfonso Herrera, and Jonathan Togo plays Senior SRT Officers Ava Gordon, Ramon Ballester, and Zak Collins respectively. Collins is the superior officer of Gordon and Ballester, and acts as such on the field, with Gordon and Ballester sometimes getting annoyed with Collins.

Ella Balinska plays Maya Price, an SRT EMT officer.

Timothy Granaderos plays Leo Sanchez, an SRT Tech Officer.

### Season one

Season one's first half shows us the characters in episodic fashion, while in the second half of the first season dips into some story beats such as Zak Collins wanting to go for Amelia Sutton's job as Supervisory Officer, going to extreme lengths on the field to prove his worth. Ava and Ramon's partnerships clash, alongside trying to deal with Collins' antics. The other plot points include exposing nepotism in the ranks, of which Sutton is accused of since Sutton's dad gave her the position over Zak Collins.
