Detroit 1-8-7 is an American police procedural drama series about the Detroit Police Department's leading homicide unit, created by Jason Richman for ABC. It featured an ensemble cast of actors including Michael Imperioli and James McDaniel. It ran for one season consisting of 18 episodes on ABC from September 21, 2010 to March 20, 2011. It was filmed on location in Detroit, except for the pilot, which was filmed in Atlanta.
The show's executive producer, David Zabel stated, "This is a crime show but we will explore various nooks and crannies in the communities and within that context there's a lot of opportunity to see what's positive in the city and see what's heroic about the people fighting for what's best for the city of Detroit."
The 1-8-7 of the title is a specific reference to the California Penal Code designation for homicide, which has become a slang term for murder. The Michigan Compiled Laws designation for the various forms of homicide begins at 750.
On May 13, 2011, Detroit 1-8-7 was canceled by ABC.[https://web.archive.org/web/20110516102211/http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2011/05/13/v-cancelled-brothers-sisters-cancelled-by-abc-too/92307/ "Updated: 'V' Cancelled; 'Brothers & Sisters,' 'Mr. Sunshine,' 'Detroit 187,' 'Off The Map,' 'No Ordinary Family' Cancelled Too"].

Detroit 1-8-7 has an average score of 63/100 on Metacritic based on 22 reviews from television critics.{{cite web|url=https://www.metacritic.com/tv/detroit-1-8-7/season-1/critic-reviews |title=Detroit 1-8-7: Season 1 |publisher=Metacritic, a CBS Interactive company |access-date=October 26, 2010}} Robert Bianco of USA Today describes the series as the best police drama on ABC since NYPD Blue ended. Bianco says the show's best trait is its uncommon setting and that it is filmed where it is set, "which gives it an authenticity and a palpable sense of place."{{cite news|url=https://www.usatoday.com/life/television/reviews/2010-09-21-detroit21_ST_N.htm |title=Detroit 1-8-7' could be ABC's best police drama since 'NYPD Blue |last=Bianco |first=Robert |work=USA Today|date=September 21, 2010 |access-date=September 22, 2010}} The New York Times{{'}}s television critic Alessandra Stanley said the show is "a throwback to an earlier era of cop shows when steel-edged realism was still novel and there was a thrill to watching terse, streetwise detectives on shows like Dragnet and Kojak cajole witnesses and browbeat suspects."{{Cite news|url=http://tv.nytimes.com/2010/09/21/arts/television/21detroit.html |title=He Treats His Partner as Badly as He Does the Suspects |author=Stanley, Alessandra |work=The New York Times |date=September 20, 2010 |access-date=September 22, 2010}}
Rob Owen of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette found Detroit 1-8-7 brings nothing new to the police procedural genre but that it does offer strong performances from its cast. Owen further said that the drama is disappointingly generic, but expected it to appeal to die-hard fans of the genre.{{cite news|url=http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/10264/1089037-67.stm |title=Tuned In: New cop, spy series watchable if not fresh; 'Glee' makes fun return |author=Owen, Rob |work=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette |date=September 21, 2010 |access-date=September 22, 2010}} In his review of new shows for autumn 2010 Hank Stuever of The Washington Post gives Detroit 1-8-7 a grade of D+ and says "nothing to see here."{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/09/16/AR2010091607636_3.html?sid=ST2010091704574 |title=As the network onslaught begins, what if the TV critic picked out shows just for you? |author=Stuever, Hank |newspaper=The Washington Post |date=September 19, 2010 |access-date=September 22, 2010}} John Doyle of The Globe and Mail called Detroit 1-8-7 "a too-conventional cop show."{{cite news|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/arts/television/fall-tv-preview-land-of-the-mostly-brave/article1712358/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100923140630/http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/arts/television/fall-tv-preview-land-of-the-mostly-brave/article1712358/ |title=Fall TV preview: Land of the (mostly) brave |author=Doyle, John |work=The Globe and Mail |date=September 17, 2010 |access-date=September 22, 2010 |archive-date=September 23, 2010 |url-status=dead |df=mdy }}

James Poniewozik of Time said that "Detroit 1-8-7 does not look bad. It's more character-focused than a typical procedural and has a strong, multi-ethnic cast. And it has a sense of the city's history: an African-American cop, referencing the city's white-flight past, says he's been on the force so long that "when I started, half of the suspects were white."{{cite magazine|url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,2013831,00.html#ixzz1NyOd4TE8 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100831091834/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,2013831,00.html#ixzz1NyOd4TE8 |url-status=dead |archive-date=August 31, 2010 |title=Detroit 1-8-7: TV Looks at a Trouble City |last=Poniewozik |first=James |magazine=Time |date=August 28, 2010}}
