OCEANSIDE: Martin Milner's Memorial Service Honor's Actor's "Adam-12" Role 9/12/15

STORY INFO:
It was a sad day in Oceanside at family members, law enforcement, and community members paid tribute to Martin Milner who passed away on September 6th, 2015.
He was best known for his leading role in the show ‘Adam-12’, a show about LAPD officers and their jobs. Milner’s show was so popular and his character was so likeable that it inspired countless people to join LAPD and serve their community.
Today’s memorial service was held at the First Presbyterian Church in Oceanside this morning.
Officers from as far as LAPD were there wearing traditional uniforms to pay respect to a man that gave so much publicity to law enforcement.
Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck paid tribute to the late actor Martin Milner today for inspiring thousands of men and women to become LAPD officers through his portrayal of a beat cop on TV’s hit show “Adam-12.”
Milner died at his home Sunday night at age 83. His death was first reported by the entertainment Website TMZ.
“Adam 12 and Martin Milner embodied the spirit of the LAPD to millions of viewers,” Beck said in a statement released by the LAPD’s Media Relations department. “His depiction of a professional and tough yet compassionate cop led to thousands of men and women applying to become LAPD officers, including me. Godspeed Martin, you will live forever in our hearts.”

I started my career in law enforcement partly due to the inspiration I got from Adam-12 and retired as a Lieutenant. R.I.P. MARTY.

[@billjenkins687]

I cannot describe how sad I am at learning of Marty's passing. He said he did not fear death because he knew he would see his daughter Amy again in Heaven. He inspired me and many others to embark on law enforcement careers and to emulate the character he so beautifully portrayed on Adam-12. A good, kind man has passed from our midst and we should rejoice that he has met his Heavenly Father.

Praying for all

[@Xenamare1]

He played the part of a dedicated Police Officer even thou he was an actor ,he I can't finish I'm crying so much ! He will be sorely missed by all !

[@AussieTVrelics]

I watched this show in 1974, as a kid. It influenced me to Join the NSW Police in Australia. I joined as a Cadet at age of 16. I got more training from watching this show, than the instructors at the Police Academy. Training back then was just in the class room. We never got taught how to handcuff people, how to stop a car. How to approach a car with guns drawn. How to instruct offenders to get out of the car, lay down, legs spread hands on back of the head etc. We got shown how hand cuffs work, lock, unlock, in a class room. And some shooting on the firing Range. Changed all now of course. I'm now 58 years old, on a generous Police pension, living in Asia, sitting back drinking beers on the beach. I think one of main influences with me joining the Police, was 1 Adam 12. Mr Milner, you have no idea how many lives you have influenced Thank You and R.I.P.

[@Robocoppat]

I've been to so many funerals for police officers. TAPS gets me Everytime. And growing up Adam-12 led to my career in law enforcement. Martin Milner and Kent McCord set the bar high. Everyone who has walked in a Police Officers shoes are proud of the job they have done. And at the end of the day, the Police Officers #1 job is to go home at the end of their shift. Thank You for posting this and Thank You for bringing the patrol car. I feel as though I just lost a piece of my childhood. Rest in Peace Officer Malloy. You've served your city well.

[@vccstudents]

One of my greatest memories was when Martin Milner hosted a radio show in San Diego about fishing, and I was a caller into the show. He let me ask an "Adam-12" question after my fishing question. I asked him about an episode called "The Search" where he is alone after crashing a police car over a cliff in Griffith Park. I asked him why the story wasn't continued. A week later, he's all patched up and back behind the wheel of a new police car. We were never told if the guy he was chasing was ever caught, how long his character was laid up, or whether the fugitive in the woods who stole his gun was ever caught. Martin Milner, in his own humorous way, responded, "I was up and about in about 3 or 4 days, but I was in better shape then than I am now." Thanks for the memories.

[@delanorrosey4730]

"The Search" was one of my favorite episodes! Funny thing: I looked up the location they broadcasted - major continuity issues less! Unless the house was built after they filmed there, if 1-Adam-12 was where he said he was, he'd have crashed the police car into someone else's living room and therefore, not be missing! LOL

[@jorgejefferson8251]

Loved Adam-12. I got to do the job for over 33 years, and yes Pete Malloy was my inspiration.

[@jorgejefferson8251]

@Tom Thumb "Now i know what you're thinking, did he fire six shots or only five?. Well to tell you the truth, in all the excitement i kinda lost track myself, but being how this is a 44 magnum the most powerful handgun in the World and could blow your head clean off, you got to ask yourself one question. Do i feel lucky?...........Well do you punk?" (Click and then Harry chuckles to himself)

[@marksmith9176]

Thank you Jack Webb, Martin Milner, and Kent McCord. You men inspired me to be the best LEO I could. Through college, self study, and finding good mentors. You three can be counted on as my first generation of Mentors. I Had the pleasure of meeting Milner. When he came to Springfield, Missouri. Home of Route 66.

[@ol-Sarge]

I watched Adam 12 series as a kid. It certainly helped to inspire me to go into law enforcement. I am proud that I was able to do 30 years. I now work for the county as a Harbor Master. Still dealing with the public, although on a less intense level. They were actors, but they portrayed police officers in a positive way, not often found today. Kids need positive role modals growing up. If not us, then who?

[@clydesuckfinger7097]

Thank you. Because of Adam 12, I spent 26 years playing cops and robbers. I worked AIFU (most current LAPD cops have no idea what thet means), Motors, CRASH and Vice. Off duty I worked seveal movie jobs where Adam 12 was being shot on location. Martin Milner was a professional. He was fantastic to work with and I will forever be gratefull for the opportunity to meet and work with him. KMA

[@tc7268]

Thank you for all who serve, like thousands I grew up watching and wanted to be a police officer, life led me another direction but I always wanted to be one. Can’t say enough bless all who put on the uniform especially nowadays.

An unforgettable TV series. In my country "Adam Twelve" (in spanish "Área Doce") was aired from the beginning to the mid 1970's every Saturday afternoon, if I remember correctly, at 5:30 or 6:00 pm. My father, who died in 1987, and me, who in 1975 was finishing elementary school, never missed an episode. God bless Martin Samuel Milner (1931-2015) "Officer Pete Malloy" and William Boyett (1927-2004) "Sergeant William ´Mac´McDonald" Greetings from Venezuela.

My favorite show growing up in the 60's.I watched it right before bedtime and the theme song was what I would end the day with on days the show aired. When I hear it today it takes me back to a time where my life was much simpler and more secure. He will be missed.

[@bewiseasowls]

[@kaylamarie8309]

Watching Adam 12 as a kid definitely had some influence on me becoming a police officer. I loved all the police programs but Adam 12 was special. Also seeing my Uncle in police uniform growing up really got me interested. R.I.P. Sir.

[@jandg7676]

Watch Adam 12 almost every day on MeTV ..

[@Eminem200183]

Since MeTV first aired Adam-12, I love it. Martin Milner was truly inspirational to not only future LAPD officers, but also every cop in the country. Heaven has two great TV cop characters: Sgt. Pete Mallory and Sgt. Joe Friday

[@sactrained527]

This show was my reason for become a police officer in 1976...

[@DK-et6lm]

This brought a smile to my face today. Love seeing that radio car at memorial service. Wish some more LASD were there. Adam 12 shaped an entire generation of youngsters to respect law enforcement and seek it out as a career in service. TRUE heroes wear a police uniform, including Mr. Milner who represented them in a positive light. RIP Martin Milner. You made a difference in shaping the good American Police Officer. So grateful we have these videos and the show for future generations.

[@sirguy8613]

Adam-12 and The Rookies are the shows that influenced me to join law enforcement in NYC many decades ago during the middle of the crack epidemic. The image of the professional that Reed and Malloy portrayed stayed with me throughout my career and till today. RIP.

[@michaelmorgan7893]

Loved Adam 12 myself, grew up with the series, and I had a girlfriend who had a ragtop super bee similar to the Adam 12 cruiser shown there. That was also an extra enhancement for me to watch. Will miss Martin Miller. Great actor who helped pave the way for Chips, and other police series past and present. Thanks for posting this beautiful memorial, Mike in Fresno, Ca.

[@user-qy9yb4gw7b]

Martin Milner played the part as if he was a true member of The Los Angeles Police Department. A true professional and he brought honor to that Department. Jack Webb could not of found anyone who could play the part of Officer Pete Malloy as Martin did. He owned it

....will never forget the fact that i BOLDLY drove up to Martin MILNERs residence back in 1973 (Fallbrook, CA) walked up to his front door knocked and thru the screen door he came outside......told him i was interested in touring his place and was pleased to meet him with a handshake as an avid ROUTE 66/ADAM-12 fan/viewer (young/dumb age 23 LOL !)......(never will forget the fact that he was covered from head to toe with 'freckles' which are not apparent on black/white TV)........he stated "i do not mean to sound inhospitable but i do not generally give a tour of my place AND we were just getting ready to sit down to eat".......stated it was such a pleasure to meet him alongwith the fact i had been a neighbor all my life having grown up on Tamarack beach in Carlsbad and was a '68 grad from Carlsbad High School as well.........apologized having disturbed him with a handshake saying thank you for your quality time .....got back in my vehicle and departed his then 'ranchstyle' home in the avocado groves of Fallbrook and departed heading back to Oceanside where i was then living off of Hill/California Streets......(at the time was a Police Science student at Mira Costa College in Oceanside)......six months later RE-enlisted into the AF and entered the Air Police/OSI career fields lasting thru 1988.........(should Marty's widow happen to read my comment will probably remember that particular day)........do not really think anybody believed me when returning to Oceanside/Carlsbad that i actually pulled off this maneuver.......LOL! ......it definitely was a GREAT PLEASURE having met Martin MILNER for sure .....he did in fact inspire the rest of my life within the 'law enforcement/investigations' career field.........R.I.P ....over the past 7 years have had the 'ironic' pleasure of having MET/worked alongside Marco LOPEZ (ADAM-12 co-host AKA: Officer SANCHEZ/'Dragnet' co-host/personal friend of THE Jack WEBB) and long standing co-host of the TV Series "EMERGENCY" .....we both have a part-time gig at the Las Vegas Convention Center working within the trade show industry .......

Greetins from Venezuela.

[@its0870]

...really AMAZING to know that "ADAM-12" was aired in the Communist country of Venezuela during the '70s .......... makes me wonder IF the show was at all 'aired' in the Soviet Union during that same timeframe .... do you happen to know ? ......keep up the good work in the factories within "V" pumping out all the females making it to the Miss UNIVERSE pageants ....... LOL!

[@Caroni100]

Good morning Mister Hendriksn. In the 1970´s Venezuela was not a Communist country. Although our TV was in black and white format in that time, we were a democracy which was an example to the rest of South American nations, many of them were subjected to military dictatorships, like Brazil, Peru, Chile and Paraguay. Communism began in my country in 1999, with Hugo Chavez and have been continued with his succesor Nicolas Maduro. I also remember that after "Adam Twelve" was aired another unforgettable TV series: "Emergency". I don´t know if "Adam Twelve" was aired in Soviet Union in the 1970´s but the western series "The Rifleman", starring Chuck Connors (RIP), was the american favorite show of General Secretary of the Central Comitee of Communist Party of the Soviet Union Leonid Brezhnev (1906-1982) . Could you imagine it?

[@its0870]

...i stand CORRECTED concerning the 'reign' of CHAVEZ ........... by the way concerning the TV series "EMERGENCY" i personally has worked with one of the co-stars of that show here in SIN City named Marco LOPEZ who as well did a series or two with ADAM-12 as (LAPD Officer SANCHEZ) .....really NICE guy! you sound like a highly educated individual who i enjoy talking with thus far .......KEEP UP the good work ...... do you have a 'beautiful' single V sister i could meet? .......LOL !

[@Caroni100]

Good morning. You are a very lucky person. You met both actors Martin Milner and Marco Lopez who played in "Emergency" the role of "Marco" (I don´t remeber his TV last name) and sometimes played some hilarious situations. Well, in youtube I found a way to practice my writing in enclish, a language which I learned more than twenty years ago in EDELCA, an electrical engineering company in which I worked as a technical draftsman in AUTOCAD. EDELCA built hydorelectric plants of Guri, Macagua I and II and Caruachi. I am retired fron the company since December 2012 and I am dedicated to other activities.

[@rationaltrekker2509]

Pete Malloy was a great cop and Martin Milner made him real.

[@AngelofDeath1431]

Still watching Milner, McCord and all of the other fine actors who brought THE BEST of law enforcement to life each week (now every Monday thru Friday in syndication). RIP, my friends from a bygone Era when the times were better (compared to what things have become)!

[@gregh7400]

Martin Milner portrayed the epitome of the ideal police officer. Not perfect, but always striving for excellence and always making the choice to do the right thing. Calm and brave in the face of danger. Good natured with a great sense of humor. I admire him and Kent McCord for their acting on Adam 12. There was only one thing wrong with the TV show Adam 12: It was a 30 minute show when I wanted it to be an hour. Martin Milner will be missed by many. RIP Martin, you earned it.

[@Aridzonia1]

He was one of the reasons I became a cop. Served 25 yrs with no civilian complaints. Thats with21 yrs in patrol as a patrolman. Thanks Marty

[@DrKO2453]

Martin Milner did more for the LAPD than anyone else. He put a face on the street cop, and kept it real. No doubt how many kids grew up watching Adam 12 who became cops not just in LA, but all over. I know I did. Rest in Peace, Brother.

[@Firefyta2]

As a past volunteer firefighter/EMT of 27 years, I was and am a major fan of Emergency, Adam-12, and Dragnet. The Actors/Characters were so good at what they did/portrayed. They set me on a path to be like them all and get into the fire service. It was an amazing time and I cant say enough on how professional, how accurate, and and how good they all were. I will always consider them as much a part of my firefighting family as the people I was in the field with. I see the same thing in Adam-12 and the police department. Martin Milner and Kent McCord were to the police as all of the Emergency Personnel were to the fire service. Amazing, professional, and accurate. I have to say, Jack Webb was an amazing man. He created the 3 best shows when it comes to public safety, Dragnet, Adam-12, and Emergency!! So many people have gone into these fields because of these shows and the people in them. Heroes All!! Rest Easy Mr. Milner or should I say Officer Malloy!!

I remember being a little kid watching this on TV. I imagine myself being a police officer like Malloy and Reed. Going on high speed chases and being in shoot outs. And sometimes I imagine myself saving a life. Running into danger while everyone else runs from it. I know that even then that cops don't make a lot of money. But its about that its about serving your community. Working with people and keeping the peace. Making a difference.

A big Thanks goes out to producer of Adam-12 Jack Webb who also played a Police Officer in the tv show “Dragnet” which was on before Adam-12. Dragnet you could also listen to on the radio about true Police stories then it went to black & white tv & then colour tv, if it wasn’t for Dragnet & Jack Webb there would be no Adam-12 & Pete Malloy & Jim Reed :-)

[@applesandcinderblocks1651]

today Sunday October 22rd 2016 May Martin Milner rest in peace, yes he was an actor, but he was a man devoted to show but also devoted to show him the right way of life By , showing the children across the United States to abide the law. To teach right and wrong way life, the element of honesty. I believe that was the whole reason for the show. Lock up the crooks that did bad things. AND YES ( THEN AND NOW )I LOVE THE SHOW ( 1 Adam 12 ) now no I am not a policeman, but I watch that show my whole childhood, But what's even funnier just yesterday Saturday October 21st I must have watched 20 episodes (( I WATCHED THEM ALL DAY AND NIGHT )) back to back as I lie here in bed. I would love to see one of the replicas that were restored of ( 1 Adam 12 ) police car, from the actual show.( A Studio car) or is this one one that just isn't made up . I hate to say it like that but is it a actual replica ? (((( now I know what Adam-12 show was not as popular as Batman)))) (((( BUT one of the original Studio cars should sit right next to the Batmobile )))) 1 Adam 12 . Now nothing against the gentleman that owns the Plymouth satellite but there is earlier models that were used more frequently. The one Adam-12 show or the studio must have had a contract with Chrysler Corporation, because all of the cars usad they were all Chryslers. ( EXCEPT -- for the matadors which were American Motors. But at the time American Motors was merging with the Chrysler Corporation. And there's nothing wrong with that. Now I remember the most frequent car did they use was a matador which was then American Motors merging with the Chrysler Corporation. You see I've been in the automotive business for 37 years so I pretty much know the history of cars companies merging difference models that have failed in sales. But none of that matters here, what matters here is the man the actor that I believe was a good man and no I didn't know him, but I'm going to remember him one half of the duo of one Adam-12. What Adam 12 1 Adam 12 see the man I believe his cat is caught in the tree ! Ha ha I don't think that this ever happened in an episode Yes this tape is from last year at his service was in September of 2015. MAY Martin Milner I hope he rest in peace on the right hand of Our Lord,

Didn't Eric Estrada become a real Cali cop after CHIPs?

[@tski3458]

All say he was a great man but i think the reason he was loved so much was he stayed true to his roll and didn't try to be bigger than the message. He was a spokesman for what is good about the LAPD and civil order. Of course, we know now, the LAPD was horribly corrupt and racist before and during the time depicted. These issues are not addressed in jack webbs vision of the LAPD. I lived close to Marty. He was highly thought of in our neighborhood.

Loved MM in Sex Kittens Go to College, Compulsion, he'd been in a bunch of great films I can watch over and over.

I WOULDN'T WANT MEN TO BE WEARING DRESSES AT MY FUNERAL ; ITS EMBARRASSING.

[@Shadowcub69]

Your ignorance is astounding. Those aren't dresses their kilts, go tell a Scotsman he's wearing a dress and see what you get.

[@justsayingopinion6730]

It was a tv show ,it wasn't real,when gage or desoto dies are they getting a firefighters farewell?

[@kthmiller1494]

**🤮**

[@glorygriffith4386]

People are thanking firefighters and rescue workers all the time and that's how it should be. But police officers have it hard with just the criminals alone plus they are hated for their jobs by the very people they are trying to protect! How would you like it if you were a police officer trying to protect and the very people who you're protecting hate you with a passion?!? Yes it's a tv show but they acted real incidents that actually happened and that was during a time when alot of people including some in Hollywood hated the police!

[@W44F]

Too bad real cops aren't like his character

Sorry to burst your bubble, but he was just an actor, not a real cop.

[@glorygriffith4386]

He may have been "Just An Actor" in your eyes, but he played a policeman at a time when alot of people hated the police(just like today). He narrirated a police training video and did alot for the police. O and may I add that some of the Adam-12 episodes were used to train police officers. If you wore the Blue Uniform, thank you very much for your service and I hope you WOULD appreciate a Hollywood actor like Martin Miller who said yes to helping you and your comrades. But if you have not worn it then....just keep in mind of what he and so many others have done to help with Police Officers who every day are willing to die for your freedom!

I'm sorry if I came off too strong for you. I meant no disrespect. But am not sorry for just making people aware of what our police and law enforcement do for us every day.
