Each episode began with the famous line, "Ladies and gentlemen, the story you are about to hear is true. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent." The show focused on the cases of the Los Angeles Police Department and depicted the daily grind of detectives and officers in their pursuit of justice.

Dragnet's signature style of narration, delivered in a deadpan voice by Webb, became known as "Just the facts, ma'am." The show was also notable for its use of actual police jargon and terminology, and for its commitment to accuracy in depicting police work.

The show's impact on popular culture can still be seen today, with the phrase "Just the facts, ma'am" having entered the lexicon as a popular catchphrase.
