Reviewer From IMDb.com:
A definite classic of the era many of the precinct scenes were
shot in Wicker Park at the corner of Damon North division at
the old KeyBank. Many of the cast over the years in the series
were well-known for doing many other TV shows a lot of faces
you recognize in a lot of good acting, and maybe a little bit
of mediocre acting in between.. - mkrempski
