Their police station is located in the district of Porte-Saint-Martin, near the Saint-Martin Canal.

comment
Bad Liar: Very often, petty criminals and whatnot who get caught in the act and have drugs, weapons or stolen goods on them will deny that it's theirs or deny that they stole it. Fell Off the Back of a Truck is also frequently used.

comment
Politically Incorrect Hero: Brigadier Chloé Matthieu's political opinions tend to lean on the far-right spectrum and she's somewhat homophobic initially, though she gets a fair share of Character Development.

Delinquents: The agents (particularly the lower ranked ones) have had to deal with pretty much the whole spectrum of petty criminality, juvenile included.

Lead Police Detective: Inspector (then Captain, then Commandant) Vincent Fournier usually fits this role, being The Leader whenever investigations and field operations are organized.

comment
Gay Paree: Thoroughly averted. The show reflects the immigration-induced diversity and least glamorous and picturesque aspects of Paris quite well, right out the gate in the early episodes. It was quite rare at the time it first aired (in the late '90s).

Da Chief: Commissioner Henri Meurteaux, although he's quite laid-back most of the time and him really losing his temper usually means O.O.C. Is Serious Business.

French Accordion: The main theme of the show (which is set in Paris) is a Sinister Tango Music-like take on the instrument to emphasize the show's serious tone.

Rank Up: Most of the show's characters ranked up over the twelve years that the show lasted. Some of them didn't however, such as Agathe Monnier (who remained a Captain throughout) and Alain Porret (played by Thierry Desroses, remained a Lieutenant).

Crossover: In a movie certainly invokedinspired by the CSI-verse, P.J. became the first French cop show to cross over with another series, that being the Law Procedural Avocats et Associés ("Lawyers & Associates"), in 2007.
