A Salute to the Law was a crime and police drama radio series that aired on CBS from 1939 to 1940. The show was created by Richard Carlton and starred Nick Harris as a police detective who fought crime and brought criminals to justice.
The show's theme song was "The Law and the Lawless," which was composed by David Rose. The show's opening narration was:
"A Salute to the Law! To the men and women of the law, who uphold the law and protect the innocent. To the police, who fight crime and bring criminals to justice. To the lawyers, who defend the innocent and punish the guilty. To the judges, who interpret the law and dispense justice. To the juries, who weigh the evidence and render verdicts. To the people of America, who support the law and respect the rights of all citizens."
The show's episodes were typically 30 minutes long and featured a variety of crime stories, including murder, robbery, and assault. The show also featured stories about the law and how it is applied in everyday life.
A Salute to the Law was a popular radio show that was praised for its realism and its positive portrayal of the law. The show was canceled in 1940, but it remains a classic example of a crime drama radio show.
