Tracking down murders is a painstaking job, crimes increased and therfor the NY Chief of Police decided to create a special task force under the direction of Detective Commander Lt. Richard Gallagher and his assistant Sgt. McQueen, with 12 other specialists. They have at their disposal an ultra sophisticated electronic tracking device, computers, lazer beams, radio transmiters, and a memory bank for locating "wanted criminals". A dusted fingerprint is photographed, put into a computer and lazer scanners, and within seconds the corresponding identity finger print can be found from criminal records all over the United States.This is now the age of electronic criminology, but the cop on the street is still neededand men like Sgt. McQueen maynot always find their suspect like Kojak doe, but then they are real cops facing real problems....
