Im Namen des Gesetzes (English: in the name of the law) is a German television series.
The police officers and prosecutors act in the same way the detectives and district attorneys in Law & Order do, although they actually interact different in Germany.
Sie schildert die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Polizei und Staatsanwaltschaft bei der Bekämpfung von Straftaten.
The prosecutor's office orders the police to solve crimes and charges the offenders in court.
In contrast to most other police procedurals in German television, the audience learns nothing personal about any of the characters.
