Production
The series was originally titled "Metro which was the division where the show was originally going to be set. Then, the title was changed to "RHD/LA" which was used for the fall schedule announcement.

CBS ordered the final title to be called "Robbery Homicide Division", believing that people would be confused about what "RHD" stood for.

In April of 2002, Schindel left to focus on his duties at NBC's "Law & Order". Frank Spotnitz joined the show as an executive producer and the showrunner in May 2002 after "The X-Files" ended its nine-season run; he then left in October because he decided that it "was not creatively the show that he wanted to be working on."
