Storyline
The original "ensemble drama," this is the story of an overworked, under-staffed police precinct in an anonymous inner city patterned after Chicago. We follow the lives of many characters, from the lowly beat and traffic cops to the captain of the precinct himself. This is the show that blazed the trail followed later by such notable ensemble dramas as "St. Elsewhere" and "L.A. Law." Written by Afterburner <aburner@erols.com>

The Hill Street Precinct E.A.T. van, which is also used as the van that the Polk Ave. Precinct used to drop the homeless off on the Hill, is number 2227. There is also a squad car with the same number. The same with 2225, which is used on a larger newer E.A.T. van as well as the number for a squad car. Each number should have only been used one time.

This series really takes me back, it is without doubt one of my all time favourites. Rarely have I ever been on such a roller coaster of emotion following the story lines of some of these characters.
My favourite has to be Mick Belker, it took a while to get with his character but once you do it will leave you feeling that he is the type of guy you might want in your corner.
This was by far the first of its type in the UK, not too sure about other US offerings around that time period as this was definitely pre-internet. Just glad this was snapped up by channel 4.
