Showing Code Two 'n a Half by W. William Wilhelm

Being a police officer in a big city is having a front row seat to the greatest show on earth. I was a police officer for the great city of Los Angeles from 1953 to 1973.

Even among law enforcement officers, motor cops are somewhat of a minority and most police departments don’t even have them…but it was the only job I ever had that I didn’t have to push myself out the door each time I went to work.

Retirement was the thing that eventually separated me from it. So, I invite you to come along with me and share one cop’s view of one heck of an interesting career in the "City of Angels."
