The rookie needed to know that procedures not only protect the public, but also the officers.

That wife of Mr. Stacey was so full of venom, and how I laughed when the girlfriend and doctor busted him and Mrs. Stacey both!!! LOL!

[@missbirdie05]

Wow, it's amazing how many people would file a false crime report to avoid accountability for their own actions

[@michaelwillis9449]

It's sad that people want to mess up someone else's life by blaming them for mistakes that they make instead of being a man or woman who stands up and has backbone enough to say I blew it I was wrong I'm sorry. People need to go back to teaching their kids your word is your Bond if you make a promise you keep it.

Amen !

The Bible is full of stories like that starting with Adam.

[@heyoldman2003]

Well , well . Yep he’s screwed. I laughed out loud when he was confronted with the truth . Hi Pop 😎hahahaha . You reap what you sow 👍🏼

The following week, as Perry Cono's "CHESTERFIELD SUPPER CLUB" came to an end, "DRAGNET" moved up a half-hour- from 10:30pm(et) on Thursdays to 10pm for the remainder of the summer.

Barry I. Grauman is maybe the most knowledgeable man about radio and television I’ve ever known.

[@fromthesidelines]

Thanks. :)

[@heyoldman2003]

Boy . Jail sounds easy compared to the trouble he would get at home 🤕 a acrobatic specialty dancer ? Yea . His wife won’t let that slide 😲

[@philipinchina]

I feel sorry for anyone who is accused of something they have not done. So many people always believe the accuser.

[@RewskOnTV]

This was a good one

[@jojobobo6087]

Any reason why he might cheat yeah his wife classic if we only had that kind of honesty in entertainment now😂😂😂🤣🤣

[@dianacryer]

Well, this episode was ahead of it’s time.

[@Tommy-76]

I think Off. Clark did get a reprimand from his immediate superior but probably nothing heavy…I also think Clark was voiced by Webb’s friend Stacy Harris

[@wandahall4435]

Thanks for posting these programs they are awesome!!!

[@scottbennett777]

At the end, I wish they specified the sentence.

[@bryanpassifiume1185]

These aren’t true-to-life stories, they’re fictionalized accounts based on real cases

[@wandahall4435]

Jack Webb is A Savage!!!

[@norman9458]

Good story

[@wadechilds6671]

It's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima. 🚬☠️

[@44032]

Stacey Harris plays the cop who is bedeviled by the false claims of a guy named Stacey. He usually plays bad guys, sometimes mentally challenged bad guys.

[@nativeroscoe64]

Jesus - That wife's got anger issues.

I know that this was a long time ago but I'm finding it harder and harder to listen 2 one of my all-time favourites Dragnet from when I was younger but the cigarette the cigarette commercials they should be cut I mean let's face it it was from back then that those commercials were for you can find some other commercial to fit in it's just making me try not to listen 2 the show anymore but listen to it it is it's too hard to take all those people since then that have died I'm I just think you should have better taste and because this is a lot better show then these commercial show it to be always a pushing cigarettes even now young people listening to Dragnet and there's a lot of young people listening to these radio shows and enjoying them it gives them ideas and we know we really know what cigarettes do now don't we

[@larrygrebler5054]

Sorry but this is how people learn what life was like back then, good or bad.

[@howardoller443]

I don't agree. With all the information out there about the deleterious effects of smoking cigarettes on your health such advertisements do not hold the same persuasive weight they once did. These ads should remain in the commercials and together with the programs they accompany serve as a very interesting and enlightening glimpse into the past.

[@bryanpassifiume1185]

If you don’t want to hear them, fast forward past them

[@trfarmer3869]

@@bryanpassifiume1185 Or she just doesn't have to listen at all.

Try some punctuation! My eyes got whiplash , while trying to read your rant.
