Whitehall 1212 was a weekly crime drama radio show that showcased authentic stories taken from the files of Scotland Yard's Black Museum. The episodes, described as "the plain unvarnished facts, just as they occurred", followed the perspectives of the police working on the cases, providing a toned-down portrayal of crime. The fictional host, Chief Superintendent John Davison, acted as the curator of the Black Museum and used the artifacts as a basis for each episode. The series was well-researched and featured an entirely British cast to retain an authentic appeal.

The show aired on NBC from November 18, 1951, until September 28, 1952. It ran almost parallel to another show, The Black Museum, produced by Harry Alan Towers, which offered a more dramatic and sensationalized version of the crime stories. While The Black Museum incorporated scenes from the criminal's point of view, Whitehall 1212 focused solely on police perspectives. The show's writer-director, Wyllis Cooper, was known for working on Quiet Please and Lights Out before tackling this fact-based crime series. The cast and production of Whitehall 1212 were based in London, and the series had official support from Scotland Yard.
