Friday's first partner was Sergeant Ben Romero, portrayed by Barton Y...

THE BIG FOURTH and THE BIG WHIFF DRAGNET

DRAGNET Dragnet, the brainchild of Jack Webb, may very well be the most well-remembered, and the best, radio police drama series.

The origins of Dragnet can be traced to a semi-documentary film, "He Walked by Night" from 1948, in which Webb had a small role. Both employed the same Los Angeles Police Department technical adviser, used actua...
