My parents and I watched Dragnet many times. The segment you chose where Joe speaks about what it is like to serve as a policemen would be great for judges to have those who disrespect the police, ICE, etc. to have to watch as part of their sentence. I wish the left in Congress would watch it, too. I grew up respecting law enforcement. I still do.

My favorite police show when young was Naked City. The opening with the bleak empty NYC lot at night and the narrator speaking about the thousands of crimes was a powerful and moving opening each week.

Dragnet was a must watch series for my parents as I grew up, so I watched it with them and absolutely loved the series. Great show. 👍👍

Holy hot smoking gun Paul! I watched this as a kid and suspect it contributed to my joining the force. God I long for the days of old when men were made of steel and boats were made of wood . Stay safe my brothers and sisters.

Just the facts Ma’am. Well officers when in called your dispatcher I requested officers McCoy and Reed. You know one Adam 12.

They send me the K-9 car.

I loved this show! Wasn't this the one that began with two hammer strikes ?

You'll get to see the "strikes" that happened at the end each week if you watch the well-chosen tribute to policemen in the YouTube segment that Chris attached.
