Bill Grant, the hero of Call the Police, was a recently returned war veteran and the son of a police sergeant killed in the line of duty. A recent graduate of the FBI academy, he returned home to find his town in the grip of racketeers. Taking over from an aging police commissioner, Grant began his war against the underworld. Many shows ended with a "Lever Brothers Award of Valor" and a $100 check going to a real cop who acted with courage, with a "Plaque of Honor" going to his department._{John Dunning}
