21ST PRECINCT was one
of the realistic police drama series of the early- to mid-1950's that were
aired in the wake of DRAGNET. In 1953 CBS decided to use New York City as the
backdrop for their own half-hour police series and focus on the day-to-day operation
of a single police precinct. Actual cases were used as the basis for stories.
The Precinct Captain acted as the narrator for the series.
