Line of Duty was written and created by Jed Mercurio and set in an unspecified British city. Filming for Season 1 took place in Birmingham, and from Season 2 onwards, production moved over to Northern Ireland However most filming takes place in or around Belfast.

The Line of Duty Walking tour starts in the heart of Belfast at the Irish Tour Tickets office before you head straight over to one of the tour’s highlights: AC-12 HQ. The fictional anti-corruption unit is where Superintendent Ted Hastings leads DI Kate Fleming, DI Steve Arnott and the rest of his team fighting corruption within the Central Police Force.
