In 1968, the LAPD began a line reserve class. It was the year Adam 12 debuted. Chief William H. Parker had died two years before. Jack Webb was producing the second version of the Dragnet television series, playing Sergeant Joe Friday, this time in living color. Gary Hazel entered this new
Academy. Line Reserves were to be trained as regular field officers, and assigned patrol duties when they graduated. They started the class at
Parker Center and then moved to the Academy. Didn’t take physicals until about a third of the way through the training because the funding
wasn’t fully in place yet. They wore civilian clothes
and didn’t receive equipment until shortly before graduating.” This new line reserve class was six months long (two weeknights and every other
weekend). Started with about 80–90 recruits and
graduated about 30 officer
