SERIES DESCRIPTION: "Police Story" was a change-of-pace cop show that premiered in 1973 as an anthology series with no regular cast and only rarely recurring characters.

The series was created by Joseph Wambaugh, the best-selling author. Wambaugh also served as a Los Angeles police officer/detective sergeant from 1959 to 1973.

Using the anthology premise also allowed the series to present patrol officers, detectives, and undercover personnel in various types of situations.

"Police Story" ran for four seasons on NBC from 1973 to 1977. There were also two spin-offs from characters that originated from one-time appearances on the show - "Joe Forrester" starring Lloyd Bridges and the popular "Police Woman" starring Angie Dickinson.
