The film Paris Precinct was an attempt to create a French police procedural drama. The show had one season and starred Louis Jourdan and Claude Dauphin. The show had a thirty-minute run length and broadcast on ABC. It premiered in 1955 and was canceled after only a few episodes due to low viewership figures. Because it was based on data from the Surete, which is the French equivalent of detectives and police, Paris Precinct was set in France. Andre Hakim was the director of photography. The show was also known as World Crime Hunt for a short time, a tribute to its international focus.
