Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (revealing mistake): After dispatch announces another unit is "in pursuit" of a robbery suspect, Hooker and Romano engage their lights and sirens to join the chase. In the background a civilian vehicle overtakes their vehicle and passes them.

Trivia

Actor James Darren plays "Dan Danko", an old "hill racing" rival of Hooker. Here Darren's character engages in illegal street racing and is accused of the robberies. In later seasons Darren will return to the series as "Officer Jim Corrigan", this time on the side of law and order.
