NBC has picked up cop-related put pilot "LAPD" from "ER" chief John Wells, reports Variety.

The hourlong drama will center on police in Los Angeles (as the title suggests). Ann Biderman -- whose credits include "NYPD Blue" -- is set to write the project, while Chris Chulack ("ER") will direct.

Wells, Biderman and Chulack are set as executive producers on "LAPD," which will come from Warner Bros. TV and John Wells Productions.

Wells' "ER" is set to go one more round as NBC will air the show's 15th and final season.

Might this be reacting to Turner's "Angel City," created and written by LAPD homicide detective Will Beall? There's a lot of buzz in Hollywood about his stuff, drawn from his ongoing work in South Central's 77th division. His first novel, LA Rex, also set in the modern world of gangs and drugs in South Central, has been picked up for a movie by Scott Rudin.

This smacks of counter programming.
