I grew up watching the Jack Webb produced Emergency and Adam-12 shows.
I follow Jack Webb Archives on Facebook, run by his family, sharing daily items from his Dragnet years and much more. Between that and listening to Dragnet on Sirius XM Radio Classics, as I told his relative yesterday, Jack’s work is timeless.
Great! And, the cop he’s talking to, ended up being Officer Jim Reed on Adam 12.
THIS is what I remember about what a police office really goes through EVERY DAY....
God Bless and protect our "men and women in Blue"- I have a feeling we are going to need them more then ever real soon.
