Pre-60's...Always big, heart of gold guys walking the beat. The tough neighborhoods were full of tough teens or adoring kids.
The cops knew the names of people and they part of the life of the neighborhood...People went for them for help without fear...
Maybe idealized, but the beat cop did exist. They didn't just sit in cars...
