La polizia ringrazia (internationally released as Execution Squad and The Enforcers) is a 1972 Italian crime film directed by Steno and starring Enrico Maria Salerno. The film obtained a great commercial success, and it is considered as the initiator of the "poliziottesco" film genre.

Synopsis

C'est l'histoire d'une organisation secrète d'anciens policiers qui vont au-delà de la loi pour tuer des criminels notoires sans procès. Un inspecteur de police essaie de les arrêter, mais l'avocat (Mario Adorf) n'est pas convaincu par ses théories de conspiration, donc l'inspecteur est fondamentalement seul et ne peut faire confiance à personne.
