Critical Incident
Every line crossed ...
While on patrol for a teenage suspect , Senior Constable Zilficar ‘ Zil ’ Ahmed pursues Dalia , and in the chaos and confusion of the pursuit , a bystander is critically injured . Zil ’ s world comes crashing down when he discovers Dalia was in fact not the perpetrator . The immense guilt over the bystander ’ s injuries , coupled with the pressure of the critical incident investigation and the public scrutiny , creates an unbearable burden for Zil . Encouraged by his brothers in blue , Zil becomes obsessed with pinning something on Dalia . Inspired by creator Sarah Bassiuoni ’ s real-life experiences working as a lawyer in Western Sydney ’ s juvenile justice system , Critical Incident delves into the complex world of policing and the consequences on those most vulnerable .
