"This is the city Los Angeles, California. I work here and carry a badge. The story you are about to read is true..."
About Dragnet
Before Charlie's Angels, Miami Vice or NYPD Blue there was Dragnet. From 1951 to 1959, Jack Webb played the role of Sergeant Joe Friday in the most successful police series in television history. Webb, known for the phrase "Just the facts, ma'am", was also the creator of Dragnet. The series was revolutionary due to its documentary style and the fact that every episode was based on real LAPD cases.
Unique stories from the archives
Due to the strict censorship in the 1950s, many stories from the LAPD archives were deemed too violent or sensational for television. The Badge contains these never-before-seen, authentic police stories, such as the Black Dahlia murder, Brenda Allen's confessions, Stephen Nash's thrill killings, and Donald Bashor's "sleeping lady murders". Through these stories, the reader gets an intensive glimpse into the dark world of crime in Los Angeles.
