Like Milton police are TRU TV stars

LAKE MILTON — Films crews from Los Angeles rode along with Lake Milton police officers in May to document traffic stops and other encounters to air on TruTV cable series “Speeders” and MTV reality series “Busted,” said Chief Michael K. Saltsman Sr.

The footage was used recently in three episodes of “Busted” and will be used in upcoming episodes of “Speeders,” he said. The first “Speeders” episode airs Thursday at 8:30 p.m. on the former Court TV channel.

Saltsman said Lake Milton officers felt it was a great opportunity to show law enforcement in a positive light and bring national attention to such a small beautiful community in hopes that it would be considered as a vacation destination.
