What happens

T. J. Hooker is an American police procedural television program starring William Shatner in the title role as a 15-year veteran police sergeant. It premiered as a mid-season replacement on March 13, 1982, on ABC and ran until May 4, 1985. The show was then picked up for a final season by CBS. The abbreviation L.C.P.D., used in the series, stands for "Lake City Police Department" per the creator Rick Husky and the seal on the door of LCPD's police vehicles. Fictional Lake City was a stand-in for Los Angeles; the Lake City Police Academy exteriors were filmed at the Los Angeles Police Academy 1166 Academy Rd., Los Angeles, California, USA.
