Alarm for Cobra 11 – The Highway Police (Alarm für Cobra 11 – Die Autobahnpolizei)

Kobra Takibi is the Turkish title of Alarm für Cobra 11 – Die Autobahnpolizei (Alarm for Cobra 11 – The Highway Police), a German action and crime series that began on RTL on 12 March 1996. It follows the Cobra 11 team, two highway police officers whose job is to solve crimes and catch the culprits. Car chases, shoot-outs, explosions and fist fights are its trademarks; the stunts are staged lavishly, making it RTL's most expensive production. Sold through Fremantle, it has aired in about 120 countries.

The story is set at first around Berlin and, from 1999, around Cologne and North Rhine-Westphalia. At the centre of the team is the Turkish-born officer Semir Gerkhan. Main star Erdoğan Atalay leads a cast that has included Katja Woywood, Mark Keller and Gedeon Burkhard, and the Turkish-German actors Fahri Yardım, Numan Acar and Tim Seyfi also appeared. The show reached 387 episodes, and its first episode drew 10.07 million viewers.

The series was conceived in 1995 by Claude Cueni, with directors including Leo Zahn and Franco Tozza. The last regular episode, "Das Team", aired on 12 August 2021, and Atalay blamed COVID-19 for the halt. Since 2022 new episodes have been made only at feature length. Spin-offs include Team 2, broadcast from 2003 to 2005.
