Title card

Directed by Krzysztof Szmagier, it centers on the investigations of Police (Milicja Obywatelska) Lieutenant Sławomir Borewicz (played by Bronisław Cieślak).[2][3] Each episode features a different case being solved by Lieutenant Borewicz. The series was loosely based on a novel series Ewa wzywa 07 (Ewa calls 07).[2] The title of both the novels and the TV series refers to "Zero-Seven", a police radio call-sign used by Borewicz.

The theme tune was written by Polish composer Wlodzimierz Korcz.

Despite being widely considered a work of propaganda aimed at warming the image of "Citizen's Militia", the series proved highly popular in Poland and even gained a cult following. Critics consider it "one of the biggest achievements of Polish crime drama"[4] the "raw and realist response to Bond",[5] and "the most popular Polish police series ever".[6]
