Rather than being a straighforward procedural, the installments began by focusing on the history and spirit of the city chosen. Often, the crime and persons involved highlighted a unique feature of that community.[1] Additionally, the show analyzed not only the crime itself, but also the impact which the crime, ensuing investigation and legal proceedings, had had on the community at large.
Part of City Confidential's success was the wide variety of American cities the show covered. The cities featured varied in size and prominence, from the smallest village to the largest urban areas. The show premiered in 1999, and featured communities of all sizes, from medium ones such as Newberry, South Carolina, Saddle River, New Jersey, Little Rock, Arkansas and Saint Charles, Missouri, to major cities such as New Orleans, Louisiana; Miami, Florida; and Los Angeles.
The original narrator of City Confidential, Paul Winfield, was involved from the show's premiere in 1999 until his death in 2004. He was replaced by actor Keith David. The show was produced by Tom Golden. City Confidential aired its last new episode in March 2006.
