Radio played a part in stemming the tide against crime - and never more so than in 'Calling All Cars', one of the earliest and most durable police procedural shows. In this first volume, dramatizing true crime exploits, and introduced by real-life law enforcement officials, 'Calling All Cars' offered listeners the gritty details of criminal activities in true 'ripped from the headlines' style. Led by writer/director William N. Robson offered listeners the audio equivalent of a Warner Brothers crime drama. Kidnappings, petty thefts, prison breaks, bunco schemes...all were raw materials for the creators of each show and details of these crimes were used as the basis for the realistic dramas being presented in volume three of Calling All Cars.
