Adam 12 is a tv police drama that followed two police officers of the Los Angeles Police Department, Pete Malloy and Jim Reed, because they patrolled the streets of Los Angeles 1-Adam-12. Created by R. A. Cinader and Jack Webb, who is notorious for creating Dragnet, the series captured a common day in the life span of a police officer as sensibly as possible. The show ran from September 21, 1968 through May 20, 1975, and helped introduce police procedures and jargon.
