21st Precinct wurde vom 7. Juli 1953 bis zum 1. November 1956 über das CBS Netzwerk ausgestrahlt. 21st Precinct war ein Polizei-Drama. CBS hatte sich dazu entschieden, New York City als Basis der Serie zu nutzen und die Geschehnisse in einem echten Polizei-Distrikt stattfinden zu lassen. Das Konzept war es, den Hörer von anfänglichen Anruf bis zum letzten Bericht ins Bild zu setzen. The 21st wurde beschrieben als "nur Linien auf einer Karte von New York City. Most of the 173,000 people wedged into the nine-tenths of a square mile between Fifth Avenue and the East River wouldn't know if you asked them that they lived or worked in the 21st." The detail was made up of 160 patrolmen, eleven sergeants, and four lieutenants, under the command of one captain - Frank Kennelly. It was mentioned in each episode's closing that, "21st Precinct is presented with the official cooperation of the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association an organization of more than 20,000 members of the Police Department, City of New York." The Captain was the primary character and also acted as the narrator. Three actors played the Captain's role: Everett Sloane as Kennelly for the first 109 episodes and returned briefly in episode 135; James Gregory as Vincent Cronin for episode 109-144; and Les Damon as Thomas Keough starting in episode 145 through the remainder of the series. In supporting roles were Ken Lynch as Lt. Matt King and Harold Stone as Sgt. Waters. Santos Ortega appeared frequently as Lt. Patrick "Red" Gorman. 92 Episoden der Serie sind im Umlauf. Es wird angenommen, dass ein Sammler alle Aufnahmen erstellt hat, als die Sendungen ausgestrahlt wurden. Dennoch schienen viele Episoden in den 70ern einzeln aufgetaucht zu sein. Verschiedene Sammler-Kataloge aus dieser Zeit führen die Episoden zum Verkauf auf mit dem Hinweis 'dubbed from the original transcription disks'.
