One Adam 12; EOW
Fitting tribute.
in pure love of the show and its main character, Shaaron Claridge (the lady that did the displatching on the show) was asked to do one more dispatch due to the death of Martin Milner. On Sept 2015, Sharron once again dispatched over the LA radio system: the entire video is about 3 minutes long. Quote:

The US Army has a tribute to a soldier lost in combat called;
The Last Roll Call (For those who don't know about the last roll call. It is part of a memorial ceremony when a soldier in a unit is killed. The company first sergeant or the platoon sergeant depending on how big the ceremony is will call off the names of everybody in the unit. Everybody responds with "Here first sergeant" or "here sergeant". The dead soldiers name is said last. It is first called out with as rank and last name eg. Pvt. Doe. Of course there is no response so then it is called out with rank first and last name eg. Pvt. John Doe... and then the last time the name is called it is rank, first, middle, and last name eg. Pvt John Joeseph Doe. After there is no response for the third time the firing squad of 7 people fires three volleys and then taps is played. The ceremony includes a display of boots with a rifle stuck in the ground between them and a helmet resting on top, and also the person's picture. I hope this can help people understand this poem.) The Last Roll Call Here we stand in formation To honor a brother who served his nation One by one our names are read As the tears begin to shed His name is called there is no sound Just solemn faces all around Three times in all his name is said But he cannot answer for he is dead READY AIM FIRE READY AIM FIRE READY AIM FIRE He will never shoot another round His rifle sticks in the ground I see the boots he used to wear They’re empty now he isn’t there I’ll forever remember the day he died I’ll remember today when we all cried So on this day we say goodbye But in our hearts he’ll never die |

That show is on at 5 and 5.30 each week day. I love to watch it to see the old cars and some of the actors just getting started in their jobs.
I do have a question. How come many times the dispatcher say all units on all frequencies stay off the air. The object of different frequencies is to be able to have different things going on. My local town force had 4 frequencies. Of course one was the main one, but they could have a chase going on F1, but on F2 the detectives could be taking and F3 could be car to car exchange going on. |

I liked both shows. To bad they don't make them like that anymore.

I have a friend who did something similar. When as a kid he heard the song The Ballad of the Green Beret and saw the movie we decided that is what he wanted to do. He retired as a Colonel Special Forces Green Beret

Once I read in TV Guide that Milner was picked for that show because of his experience from Route 66 at pulling a car up to a camera and stopping it perfectly for a scene. Apparently hitting your mark as an actor is one thing, but doing it with a car is another level of skill.

Here’s something. The actor who played Eddie Haskell on Leave it to Beaver, Ken Osmond, went on to become a Los Angeles Police Officer after the show ended.
