City Detective is a half-hour syndicated crime drama starring Rod Cameron as Bart Grant, a tough 1950s New York City police lieutenant.[1]

The show's title was a bit of a misnomer, as Grant fought crime "from Mexico to the Mojave Desert to New York City".[2]

Herschel Daugherty directed the series, and Lawrence Kimble wrote for it.[1] Blake Edwards was a writer and an associate producer.[3]

Sixty-five episodes were produced from 1953 to 1955.[2] Revue Productions rented space from Republic Studios for filming the series.[4]
