Adam-12 was a television program which ran from 1968 until 1975 on NBC. The program concentrated on the actions of a pair of uniformed Los Angeles police officers, of the Rampart Division , veteran Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) and rookie Jim Reed (Kent McCord), and their sergeant, played by William Boyett. The show was produced by Jack Webb.

The series was nominally considered a spin-off of Webb's Dragnet 1967 and Reed and Malloy appeared on numerous episodes of the parent program. The paramedics from another Webb creation, Emergency! frequently crossed over onto the show as well.

A remake was attempted in 1989, starring Ethan Wayne, Peter Parros and Miguel Fernandes, but this version only ran 12 episodes.

The series title is a reference to the police code name for Malloy and Reed's police car unit.

Episodes from both productions have actually been used for training purposes by many police academies, especially when teaching recruits the correct handcuffing procedures, as the camera often zoomed in closely when the officers were in the act of handcuffing suspects.
