Storyline

Set in New York City, Jack Bauer is unwillingly drawn back into action just as President Allison Taylor negotiates international security with Omar Hassan, a determined Middle Eastern leader visiting the U.S. on a peacemaking mission. As the new day unfolds, an upgraded CTU operates under the command of M.B.A.-schooled, razor-sharp head honcho Brian Hastings, who supervises quirky Chloe O'Brian, expert data analyst Dana Walsh and systems analyst Arlo Glass.

Goofs

As with most fictional TV shows, actual NYPD patrol cars are not used during filming. The motto/logo shown on the rear passenger side door of the fictional NYPD cruiser reads "Honor, Service, Dignity." The actual motto/logo on the car doors is "Courtesy, Professionalism, Respect" or "CPR" for short.
