"'Anthony Boy" Gagglio, and his partner, Syl, will return in The Man Who Saw the Alligators (1979), in which Anthony wants revenge on Rockford for what happens in this episode. These 3 episodes were written by David Chase.
David Chase wrote this teleplay, and created "The Sopranos." Three actors on "To Protect & Serve" appeared on the latter series: George Loros as Raymond Curto, Joe Santos as Angelo, Garepe, and Joyce Van Patten once as Dr. Sandy Shaw.
