 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Billionaire tech genius Gideon Reeves inadvertently ends up in the middle of a convenience store armed robbery, only for his 911 call to be put on hold because the call center was understaffed. As a result of this, his best friend ends up getting shot and killed. Six weeks later, Reeves convinces the Mayor of Chicago to give him control of the police district in which the shooting happened, so he can attempt to find the killer and clean up the city by upgrading the department with state of the art technology of his own design, starting with a reporting and dispatch control system he calls APB.A FOX show that premiered on February 6, 2017.Cancelled after 1 season.Not to be confused with the video games APB: All Points Bulletin or the arcade game of the same name.

 Artificial Limbs

 Artificial Limbs: In an almost literal Pet the Dog moment, at the end of "Personal Matters", Gideon arranges for a police dog who had been crippled in the line of duty to receive an artificial leg (Reeves Biomedical was using animal limbs for the proof of concept prototypes for their prosthetics designs).

 Awesome, but Impractical: Some of the toys that Gideon provides to the CPD are things they're only able to acquire because he's footing the bill for them, such as a two million dollar sports jacket that contains an undetectable concealed wire. Very useful for sting jobs, but since each jacket costs more than District 13's precinct building, it's unlikely that the CPD will be able to afford any more of them than the prototype Gideon commissioned on his own dime. Then again, most of Gideon's toys are either quickly developed on the spot to solve a particular problem or tech for high end customers like NASA designed for other applications that were repurposed, none of it built with getting the costs down to a level a police department would be able to afford in mind.

 Armor-Piercing Question

comment
 Armor-Piercing Question: During Reeves' introductory presentation to the 13th District, Murphy points out that the district averages ten unsolved homicides a month, so why hadn't he tried to do anything about that before one of them was somebody connected to him? Reeves admits that it's a fair question.

 Attack Drone: Retrofitted from a surveillance drone. The prototype version seen in the pilot looks like it was modified from a DJI Inspire.
