One Adam-12, quiz in progress, proceed with caution. Code 2.

From petty theft to serious criminal charges, the officer duo often had their hands full. When a call from the station came in, they needed to be able to identify the crime and respond quickly.

It's interesting that the dispatcher always said whether the officers should drive normally or "hot pursuit" with lights and siren when responding to a call. I wonder if that's still standard anywhere. When I did a ride-along a couple years ago with an officer from my hometown police department, I asked and she said generally it was the officer's discretion.

9/9...I was given a code to Bing. Otherwise, I knew of six.

6 for 9.
On the other hand I do know what the Bowery Boys "Routine Six" means - "Louie is in trouble".

5/9 .. disappointed because I love this show and watch it all the time. I better start paying more attention.

I love Adam-12, and I thought I’d ace this quiz, but I only got six right. In our defense, I don’t remember ever hearing a code 8 (or some of the other codes) mentioned in any episode.

Got 7 of 9. While in the AF, we used some if the same codes as the civilian police.

I did dismally - 4/9. My only excuse is that when I watched the show, I couldn't take my eyes off of Kent McCord. From ages 8-15, I had an ENORMOUS crush on the man.

* However while every Dragnet episode ended with an epilogue telling what became of the arrested criminal Adam-12 episodes just abruptly ended going straight to closing credits!

I knew Code 3, Code 7 and 10-13 (officer needs assistance, which wasn't even in there). Still managed to get six right...but I don't know how...
