"The Secrets of Scotland Yard" was a radio show that aired in the United States from 1949 to 1952. It was a dramatization of true crimes that were solved by Scotland Yard, the famous police force in London, England. Each episode featured a different case and provided an inside look into the investigative techniques used by the Yard to solve the crime.

The show was popular for its attention to detail and accuracy in portraying the real-life cases. Many of the cases featured were high-profile and had captured the public's attention at the time they occurred. The program was hosted by Clive Brook, an English actor, who provided background information and commentary on the cases.

Some of the cases featured on the show included the Green Bicycle Murder, the Houndsditch Murders, and the case of the Croydon Poisoner. "The Secrets of Scotland Yard" was one of the first radio shows to focus exclusively on true crime stories, and it paved the way for other popular shows in the genre, such as "Dragnet" and "The FBI in Peace and War."

Despite its popularity, the show was criticized by some for glamorizing crime and for providing a sensationalized portrayal of the investigations.
