Gang Busters was an American radio drama that aired from January 15, 1936, to November 27, 1957, and brought listeners authentic police case histories. The show was created by Phillips H. Lord, who initially produced it in collaboration with FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. The series focused on real crimes from law enforcement organizations and had prominent names in radio broadcasting, including Richard Widmark and Art Carney.

The show featured gripping sound effects and intense storytelling, capturing audiences with its realistic portrayal of criminal cases. Gang Busters also aired alerts of suspects wanted by police around the country. Despite its success, only a limited number of episodes have survived. The show inspired spin-offs, including a comic book published by DC Comics and a Universal Pictures film serial in 1942.
