I am not big believer of Wikipedia as a source, but for pop culture it seems to be OK.
I am sure there was a lot of LASD, but it might have been Broward as well.
I am not sure it changes what we are talking about, though.
As I said .. Nick Navarro, the commie/cuba was the #1 person that COPS was interested in since Navarro was never camera shy and for the first few years it was “Navarro and HIS Men” over and over.
I had a friend from Nam who went on to become a Broward Sheriff and who was also in the first episode.
I don’t have to rely on wikipedia.
