The header is completely created on the computer, what was even more unusual for this time. From a virtual city map showing the cities in which plays Eurocops, "drive" sculptures high, show the crime. At the top of the screen the relevant national flag, a picture of the investigator and the personal details will be displayed. In the final shot "drives" the police brand in the country in which the respective sequence plays, from the map and below the lettering Eurocops appears.
