Its crazy to think this was only 8 years before i was born. Times were vastly different in such a short amount of time back then. Thats one of the reasons i was fooled into thinking life was much longer than it actually was.

This was one of the training films I saw in 1972 during my IACP Project Transition. Wow!

God Bless REAL black and white police cars.

Definitely pre-Newhall era police work. The cover officer moving up behind the suspect's vehicle while exposing himself in the kill zone is a definite no-no after 1970.

THE 1968 CHEVY II NOVA & THE 1968 CHEVROLET BISCAYNE SQUAD CAR!

My mom was a Matron/Dispatcher for the CHP from 1970 to the early 80's. I went to the Academy in 79/80. Back then there was NO computers in our patrol cars so you couldn't "run" drivers or license plates unless you had darn good "Probable Cause". To run a license the dispatcher had to type it into a teletype keyboard to Sacramento and search the main computer database in Sacramento (capitol of California). It took about 15-25 minutes so you had better have darned good reason or the sergeant would chew you out for taking up the Matron and Computer time. A polite armed robber or murderer would often get a speeding ticket and drive merrily away. NOW Big Brother is watching over all of us. I don't know what is worse sometimes...

My left ear really enjoyed this 4K quality video!

"i am not driving, i am travelling!

Even the criminals behaved in the old days.

11:55 Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr is an effective weapon. Yep, on an A10 Warthog.

1968 is the year I started my 30 year career.

*TORRANCE POLICE DEPARTMENT IN 1968* GOOD VIDEO.

And because of the Newhall incident this was all changed after. Watch the Newhall chp incident. You'll see why. 2 men killed 4 officers in less then 4 minutes. The first 2 approached as these 2. They obtained the chp guns, then 2 more showed up and we're killed in same manner. More guns acquirred. Interesting how this worked for so long and one tragic incident changed the procedures.

A 68 biscayne with a Plymouth dashboard. Amazing.....

Every car in this video is a classic now, cars made mostly out of metal, with bumpers made of metal, instead of molded plastic.

1968 chevy ll nova & the Chevrolet Biscayne (squad car)

1968. “Some of them are dangerous neurotics” 2023 “Most of them are dangerous neurotics”

Late 50's - Early 70's police vehicles are amazing looking

Wow a lot of this was taught to me at LAPD in the 90’s. Cover officer position is different and not what I learned. They forgot to put in the video the first at scene officer saying “if you get out of the car, I’ll blow your head off!”

Looks like a Sam Peckinpa flick.

Takes the keys out of the police car??? Yeah no. That would not go over well nowadays.

my how compliant everyone was back then

5:30 hey he put an object in the hand of which he would use to have to draw his gun and shoot, one no no for having your gun hand occupied.

Love to have that Nova SS probably 396

I remember this video. The director must have edited the film to make it look more hokey than I recall. I would never handle a T stop like the way it was depicted. Not even in 1968. Keyes being removed was way out of sequence. Sitting in the car running a warrant check and remaining in the car on the initial pull over did not happen. Gives us old timers a bad rap.

Cl. 68-15 Feb.9, 1968 the start of a beautiful ride.

Modern training videos are severely lacking smooth jazz compared to those of this era

Oops, Martin Milner did NOT appear in this training video.

I was 8 years old when they made this video one thing I like about Los Angeles PD they never change the colors of the patrol cars up to this date 2017 it's still the same colors Black and White.

why they didn't just trow out some random door keys ??

Day Watch, got to love it.

I wonder why these videos don’t include the officer tapping the taillight with his hand on approach?

I watched another video same thing but more up to date on tactics. But I think this version seem to hold more weight than the other video.

I highly doubt many pulled their key out of the ignition on every stop. That radio pulled 30 amps to key it. And those lights? I bet they idled ALOT.

The third suspect looks like Jethro. Uncle Jed will have to bail him out.

All those classic cars. In the crusher long ago.

I think the 67 ford passed the cop car in the first scene.

anyone know the name of the lady in the video?

1968....this one should be good

Very interesting: affecting a felony stop and arrest had some small but significant changes by 1976, at least if other training films can be believed. Most importantly, the poor bastard second cop didn't have to hover around on the back bumper of the suspect's car while they were inside, then behind them while they lined up to the right of the car. Instead, he got to provide additional cover for the first officer--who himself gave orders to the suspects through the loud-speaker--from the relatively safer spot of behind the right rear corner of the first officer's patrol car. I guess creeping up to stand within easy range of suspects armed with who knows what, and nothing to protect him but the angle of the suspect's car, wasn't the best for the health of the second officer responding. Also, by 1976, the procedure was to unload front passenger, then driver, and only then the back seat passengers, with the idea being to get the driver away from the controls asap in case he had another set of keys.

The officer is going to expose himself!! LMAO

...and Martin Milner was where?

In mono where available.

only hear in left ear now..

WOW

Those criminala from tge 70s look like characters from Walt Disney movies compared to todays gang members and drug dealers.

Crooks were well dressed in those days.

At 6:15 the victim used a land line rotary phone to dial "O" for operator instead of 911. When was 911 created?

best anime ever 420/10

All you have to do is watch old reruns of Adam-12 to see the same stuff. But with much more PC social justice posturing. Thanks a lot Jack Webb. ;)

I don't know who you think Martin Milner is, woman but he ain't in this film.

That woman's hair is amazing!

Now they go to the passenger side window. In nj anyway

Vic Perrin narrating

want to be at this time a policeman - great time

The ending tho

9:46 - Whoa!

that is not martin milner

The hair style of the 60's looks similar to the ones now a days.

He didnt thumb print the tail light?

I wonder....when did officers start to use walkie talkies instead of just the radio inside the patrolcar?

The same ss nova is parked out front in the next scene

Wheres Frank Bullets Cobra Mustang?

Guess they did not teach to put the officers prints on the right rear end of the car.

9:46 Office Pixel.

keep keys in car incase the person makes a break for it.

Torrance Police (California)

a few additional mistakes/bad habits from those mentioned - 1) the officer stood forward of the drivers door, which puts him at risk. 2) the officer took the suspects bag with his weapon hand

Is that Lorne Greene narrating?

but i cant hear anything from the video(no music,no voices and no narriator

Evidently iron sights on a pistol are just for decoration.

WRONG SIDE ... passengers side.

I had checks like that , does that mean I'm Old ?

@9:30 next step: apply liberally shotgun stock to rear of head 1-2-3-4 . Job well done!

lol even in 196-whatever they understood the importance of the SOP @2:57 which is NEVER followed in 2022 a.d. 😂

Those damn ladies! They are always doing cheque fraud

8:00 - NEVER hold a shotgun like that - absoutely inviting a broken cheek bone - disappointing to see a poice training film making that elementary mistake

Its surprising to see how little has changed over the last 50 years.

felony suspects didn't run back then after the stop because PDs would shoot - this is old school

Not bad considering this training vid is 45 yrs old! Torrance PD ? Man they,would have shot FIRST, arrested second!!!

cool but no martin milner

Poor right ear

No one puts a gun in the viser near the roof.

If every routine traffic stop ended this way for the cops we could drive safely down the streets

I am not a police officer at all idmittitly. However when officer turned his back after getting lady's id walked to his car with his back turned to her. That's how 🤔 you get shot. 2 Officers killed exactly that way .in last few years that I remember. Iam from nj and remember seeing JERSEY troopers walking backwards . To there car while on traffic stop on parkway.i sure as heck WAULD. Always Always. Be interested to hear from some officer's out there on this. Thanks

10:23 It's so delicious.

And look at that everyone that followed the orders of the officers no harm nobody got hurt or shot

This was racist

Lousy coppers. You didn't have to use teargas.

Pigs were pigs even back then
