Police Beat San Diego 1963

[@rbennett1300]

Wow! What a walk down memory lane! I was a Cadet working in Records Division when this was made. So many department members shown that have passed on. A good depiction of what police life was like in 1963. Thank you for preserving and sharing this movie.

San Diego has grown so much. We are fortunate to have these and other images of our past.

Was the narrator related to Jack Webb? Interesting to see the old jail.

Hi John. I wish I knew more about the video. No one seems to know why it was made or who did it. It languished in the SDPD vault for decades.

The worst officer safety ever. Holy Moses.

Police officers have learned and gotten better. We can hope that 50 years from now their safety practices will be even better.
