Tyneside Police
See also: List of law enforcement agencies in the United Kingdom#Fictional police forcesThe exterior of the police station from which DS Nicky Cole works from, is actually the base of HMS Calliope, a Royal Navy Reserve, training centre for the North and North East. This building is located on the Gateshead bank of the River Tyne next to the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art and the Gateshead Millennium Bridge.
The name given for the police force was Tyneside Police; with a logo similar to that of the defunct Tyne and Wear County Council and uniforms with slightly altered badge labels borrowed from Northumbria Police; the real police force which covers the Newcastle upon Tyne area.

Famous quotes containing the word police:
“The State has but one face for me: that of the police. To my eyes, all of the State’s ministries have this single face, and I cannot imagine the ministry of culture other than as the police of culture, with its prefect and commissioners.”
—Jean Dubuffet (1901–1985)
