These films are an excellent research tool for writers :)

[@MarioMastar]

They really are, they provide a great window to the views and demeanor of the times. Even if the acting can be a bit corny, the presentation is always an accurate representation of how the filmographer felt at the time with how they portray and explain rules.

15:05 I love the old school Tommy Gun.

[@dr.barrycohn5461]

This was filmed in Trenton NJ The dispatch center was the fire alarm office at the time. You could see the Gamewell box receiver and box cards on a standing Rolodex in the background.

Back then they didn’t wait till a shooter died of old age before they took him out…

[@MarioMastar]

I'm just glad to see there's a black man among them being treated with just as much respect. It's what they DON'T show you that makes you wonder, but I do believe racism wasn't AS bad as a lot of people want to believe, as much as when it WAS bad, it was horrendous in how it went unchecked.

Barney Fife is your best man

[@jeremyjackson8196]

How the times have changed

[@20alphabet]

Lol, not really.

[@davidmicalizio824]

Leave the hippies alone!

[@hotel283]

Don't send Frank around the back!!! His blatant disregard of hair regulations clearly shows he's a loose cannon.

[@glovefet]

he might try to kill his supervisor. make it look like an accident.

[@dr.barrycohn5461]

Frank will be a real hair raiser.

[@MarioMastar]

Not gonna lie though, getting a hair cut while on the clock as an officer is kind of a special kind of disrespect. That's our tax money being spent on his haircut. XD Though at the same time, if the company requires a haircut, block out a time for him to get it when he's off duty but still on the clock. I hate when companies make us "dress smart" on our own time and dollar.

[@JULYXXIV]

Just tell everyone you should have studied harder for the sergeants exam.

[@robertdipaola3447]

Make sure you back each other up and pick up jobs for your most important function, your 10-63 meal time!!!

[@lenscap8925]

Frank, Frank, Frank, Next time just take an early lunch and get the ears lowered and the Vitalis changed...

[@MarioMastar]

"Also wise guy, I'm still angry with you about that crack you made at me. You can tell by my expression it's water under the bridge, but that water is muddy and steaming." You can So tell he wanted to do more than fire him. Took every OUNCE of restraint to not go "I'm the captain!" Though that wise guy start if not for being used as an example would've gotten the book thrown at him. also screw the lutenant... if the higher up tells me to relay a message, "The lutenient said we need to look out for teenagers at the block, so lets shift our focus to the block team!" is PERFECTLY fine! I'm not taking credit for his tantrum.

[@renebernays5774]

always remember Frank Serpico and ALWAYS FTP (film the popo)

[@20alphabet]

Report falsifying and evidence planting were taught by your training officer.
