Each essay centers on a different crime story and explores the documentary record of each case in order to reconstruct the ways in... Less

The authenticity of the NBC anthology series POLICE STORY (1973-77) was at least partially traceable to its source: Joseph Wambaugh, an ex-LAPD Detective Sergeant who left the force to become a bestselling crime author.

Narratives straddled both rural areas and big city operations. The feature-length pilot, SLOW BOY, originally ran on March 20, 1973 and was rebroadcast September 25, 1973; the 21 regular Season One episodes ran October 2, 1973 through March 26, 1974.
