Whitehall 1212 was a weekly crime drama radio show that aired in the United States from November 18, 1951 to September 28, 1952. Named after the famous telephone number of Scotland Yard, it presented true and "baffling" cases told from the perspective of the police involved in solving them. Writer-Director Wyllis Cooper, along with Chief Crime Reporter Percy Hoskins, meticulously researched the cases that were based on actual artifacts from the Yard's "Black Museum." The show featured an all-British cast, giving it an air of authenticity.

Hosted by the fictitious Chief Superintendent John Davison, the show was known for its well-presented and compelling storytelling. Whitehall 1212 was produced by NBC and ran parallel to another crime show, The Black Museum, which presented stories in a more dramatized manner. Cooper's work in Whitehall 1212, while limited by its factual basis, continued his legacy from previous shows like Quiet Please and Lights Out.
