The Real LAPD - Episode 1 - A Life Less Ordinary

Chronicling Los Angeles police officers on high-risk assignments, including segments in which they patrol gang-populated areas and track drug dealers.

[@aumarigan]

I can't imagine this was filmed 25 years ago. 😢 Some of the cops here are probably now in their 60s or 70s.

[@keithb372]

Actually, one of them is now the interim chief of police. Dominic Choi.

[@aumarigan]

I know. Time flies eh?

[@RePlayer0492]

Shannon Reece is retired and lives in a tiny house 😇

[@greenbeagle13]

Thank you. I was wondering when this was filmed.

Berettas and Chevy Caprices, you know it's gonna be a hell of a time!!!

[@nightfall22]

My god pagers and caprice patrol cars….😂 I remember those days vividly

[@RenegadeChauffeur]

So do I. I carried two pagers, one alphanumeric pager, and one for my dad’s company and a big bag phone. Oh I feel old now.

[@nightfall22]

@@RenegadeChauffeur lol my friend I’m with you and feel your pain….so does my knees and back 😂 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@MB-oc5ty]

I had a department issued pager when I first started and a flip phone😂

[@nightfall22]

@@MB-oc5ty lol crazy to think back on the world then huh? Writing letters, phone books, map books, encyclopaedias 😂 the library… just so much practically made almost obsolete… naturally I still keep some of these things in my truck… power and the internet/wifi is never a guarantee… good to always have a backup to the backup 👊🏾🤘🏾. When I first went into ems we were given pagers… did all report writing by hand 😂 this was back in 98

[@steves1112000]

Me too. We had the caprice classic and pagers. Not even a car phone. If we were paged, we hunted up a payphone.

[@rodzilla355]

Thanks for the upload. I remember seeing this my rookie year. Just retired. Had some great times in the early 90s as a cop. The best. 2017 on there were way too many changes

[@DirtyDanMunicipalMan]

Shannon has such a great sense of humor. She would be cool to work with.

[@J3FFBezos]

Agreed, the craziest thing now is that if she still works LAPD, she’s definitely either a sergeant, watch commander, detective or lieutenant at this point, maybe even higher ranked like damn

[@marcosmedina9161]

Wow way back in the late 90s with the crown Vic’s diff times man such nostalgia. It even takes you back to the OJ Simpson chase lol

[@markmanning5683]

Those were the days we could still do Police work. Now it's different. I even walked a Foot Patrol for years, got to meet people One on One without a Police Car Shell. In 2000 it seemed like nothing but Cal to Call, no investigation time. Now it's all Computer this and that. I started in 1974 as a Dispatcher, 1977 went on the Street, 2010 retired. Hundreds and Hundreds of good contacts and nice people, then there were the Morons and then outright Criminals. Watched sooo many people take their last breath, Three Close Quarters Shootings at me. Numerous Pot Shots from the Projects. I miss the excitement of Radio Calls and Not Knowing what was around the next corner and staying Tactically prepared. Met some great Cops, knew some Criminal Cops, watched some Cops go to Prison Good Cops had to wear the Black Eye from the Bad Cops. Nasty Fast Food. So many changes in my PD now, I only know 4 or 5 people still there. Anyone remember "The New Centurions"? That was us. Where did all that time go?

[@wirepaladin4317]

@aidenschvatkok5732 You are right. We went to simplex not to clog up the frequency. It can backfire if other units should know to either stay out of the area or you need help and other units do not know where you are or what you are doing. Someone in the unit should always stay on base frequency.
