I began to watch Adam-12 when I was about 13 or 14 yrs old. I became a police explorer, chased radio calls on a dial-type police radio, and about 40 yrs later I'm a retired street cop. Adam-12 and Jack Webb did more for the LAPD and no doubt for hundreds of young men seeking a police career. My three best friends as a teenagers all entered law enforcement, and all of us survived shootings, pursuits, disabilities, crashes...you name it. But we each retired, and we have children following in our footsteps. Thanks Jack Webb!!
