Nah I reckon you're tinking of Frank Cannon.
Lt. Phil Columbo would often borrow his brother Frank's coat hence the name badge red herring. post-22-1082660900.gif

Well I had a good look about and it was given as Philip in earlier Trivial Pursuit books but it appeared it was a 'entry to stop copyright'.. and the question was later withdrawn there is a picture of his badge in a 1971 episode called Dead Weight but you can not distinguish the name, some sources give it as Frank and in one episode someone refers to him as Denny,in 'The Cop Cookbook a series of recipes by TV cops in aid of police widows his name is given as Philip Columbo ,but the writers insist that his first name wasn't revealed..... g.gif
