APB (short for "all-points-bulletin") is an American procedural drama broadcast on FOX during the 2016–17 season. A first trailer was released on May 16, 2016. The series premiered on February 6, 2017.

A tech billionaire is given control over a Chicago Police district, hoping to close the file of a murder of a close friend and his company's CFO. The story is loosely based on the New York Times Magazine article "Who Runs the Streets of New Orleans?"
