The setting for Bayside Shakedown takes place in the fictional Wangan Precinct of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. Unlike most police dramas which tend to focus on action and car chases, Bayside Shakedown focused largely on the bureaucratic issues of the police department that is also very present in many other sectors of Japanese society. The series depicted police work as office politics under a slightly different environment, complete with bureaucratic red tape, lethargic civil servants, bosses more interested in playing golf and saving face than solving crimes, interference from politicians, and conflict between Police Headquarters and the local officers (one of the major themes throughout the series). In fact, like their real world counterparts in Japan, the officers depicted in Bayside Shakedown are not permitted to carry firearms except during major emergencies (which, in the life of the local precinct officer at Wangan, almost never happens) . ==Bayside Shakedown - Television== * '''[[Bayside Shakedown (1997-Japan-Fuji TV)]]''' <BR /> * '''[[Bayside Shakedown - Year-End Special Alert]]''' <BR /> * '''[[Bayside Shakedown - Aki no hanzai bokumetsu Special]]''' <BR /> * '''[[Bayside Shakedown - Wangansho fukei monogatari shoka no kotsuanzen Special]]''' <BR /> ==Bayside Shakedown - Theatrical Films== * '''[[Bayside Shakedown (1998-Japan)|Bayside Shakedown]]''' | Odoru daisosasen (1998) <BR /> * '''[[Bayside Shakedown 2]]''' | Odoru daisosasen the movie 2: Rainbow Bridge wo fuusa seyo!
