Notes

Anthology series that focused on the cases of a different set of police officers each week (with occasional recurring characters but no permanent cast). Three episodes served as pilots for spin-offs for Police Woman (though with Angie Dickinson's character carrying a different name than in the series); Joe Forrester; and Man Undercover.

The final season consisted of only 7 episodes that aired as TV movies across the 1977-1978 season.

No relation to an earlier police anthology series Police Story that aired in the early 1950s.

23skidoo 🍰 11th Aug 2015		In 1967 Gene Roddenberry, at the time still working on Star Trek, attempted to launch a series also titled Police Story which only got as far as a made-for-TV movie that featured Deforest Kelley and Grace Lee Whitney from Star Trek in supporting roles (likely hedging their bets had Trek failed out of the gate). As far as I know there is no relation between that effort and this series which was created by noted crime author Joseph Wambaugh.
