Calling All Cars was one of the
earliest police shows on the air. It ran from Nov. 29, 1933-Sept. 8, 1939.
It’s sponsor was the Rio Grande Oil Company, which is why the show only ran
in areas where Rio Grande "cracked" gasoline was sold. The sponsor promoted
its "close ties" with police departments in Arizona and Southern California,
urging listeners to buy its product for "police car performance" in their
own cars. As shows of this nature do it dealt with tracking killers and
robbers with a recap of the justice which was enforced.
The writer and director was William N. Robson. Calling All Cars episodes
were dramatized true crime stories that were not only introduced by officers
of the Los Angeles Police Department but were true life crime stories of the
LAPD.
If you are thinking early version of Dragnet, yes, but not quite as
polished. Dragnet was believed to have been inspired by Calling All Cars.
The police dispatcher, Sergeant Jesse Rosenquist of the Los Angeles Police
Department was the only continuing character and was used for the entire run
of the show.
So sit back with the precursor to Dragnet, and
enjoy over 69 hours, 135+ episodes of crime drama action.
