00:48 - here's a sight you've probably seen many times - a police car driving past, lights flashing, siren wailing Often wondered where it's going to? My mum once said "all units back to base, tea is brewing"
I have never been to KC, but I googled the name of the streets where the said Jeter market was, and I think I found it on google maps! The market is now studio 53 and a physical therapy place? The building looks almost identical to the video! Especially the red tiled roof.
That is nothing but conjecture. There are several different trains of thought on the origins of the word cop. Constable on patrol is probably the least agreed upon version of the term.
KCMO has Dodge Aspen's as patrol cars, oh I feel sorry for them. My parents had a Aspen for about 2 months in 1977, it was such a hunk of junk they brought it back for a trade.
I'm trying to figure out where the green truck was pulled over given where the majority of this was filmed possibly brook side/Waldo. The van at the end looks like it was coming from ward parkway or mission hills lol
I don't know how many departments adapted "civilian" models, But Honda themselves DID make a Police Special version of the CB750: www.digitalpizza.com/single-post/2015/11/11/1970-CB750-Police-Special
I'm only to the four minute mark, but I got two things: 1) The shot with the motorcycle zipping by city scape is awesome and eerie to see in old timie footage. 2) He was driving, one handed, and probably speeding to the site of the collision.
Interesting video, like a pre cops episode. But video cameras back in this day were as big as those old Panavision movie cameras. All these scenes have to be staged...
The cop's not following AHA procedures in CPR. He's supposed to assess the airway, ventilate the victim then assess the pulse before giving CPR. That's my understanding of what I saw of the procedures used back then. Oddly, other than spending so much time assessing pupilary reaction and pulse, he did one thing right; compressions first (current procedure).
I didn't know the police in KCMO had brown shirts, I thought they'd always had the light blue shirts, I can trace that back to about 1990 or so from what I saw on COPS and I thought they was light blue all along. Maybe they'd just phazed out the brown uniforms when COPS showed them.
Always a big thanks to police around the USA :)
Nice to see the past. I grew up doing these years in KCMO.

Man, things were very, very different during the time my parents grew up in, compared to the times nowadays.

6:37 the unsung heroes in blue..protecting law abiding ppl from the psychopaths and sociopaths of the world. You guys rock! Stay safe!
Technically, this is from 1980, but, close enough.
Correct, I spot a 1980 Cadillac.
Kansas City has changed a lot, but I recognize every area in the video. At least KCPD doesn't have those old brown uniforms anymore...

That light bar set up is quite a rare one on the cop car.

cool to see those plymouth e58 sedans they rusted away quickly in the rust belt
Contrary to what the narrator stated, the slang police term 'cop' derives from an acronym for the phrase 'constable on patrol.'

That was the same van for sure and young Eric Holder was driving it...
2:40 - sure, I’ll just climb right in with my unsecured firearm. Don’t mind if I do, eh Johnny?

how convenient for the cops they could pull it over near quiktrip
What department used honda cb 750

what mall was that?
Nice video
Does anyone know when KCPD stopped waring the brown uniform?
bkjbearcat78 1982-1983, I believe. It was during the tenure of Chief Norman Caron. They were still in brown for the Hyatt incident of July 1981.
wow there perform Cpr in the 70s thats early
CPR has been around since the 1960s.
5:02 I saw a 1980 Cadillac Fleetwood....this means this is from 1979.
The copyright date in Roman numerals is "MCMLXXX", or 1980.
good job !

What year was this?
+E Drew , the video said 1980 if you look down on the bottom of the screen.
1979 80ish
Great

+PolizeiPaul , or maybe the video is old and the color had faded out?
They switched them out in 1982-1983, I believe. It was done under Chief Norman Caron who was Chief at the time this video was shot.
"...but we like giving speeding tickets cuz its fun and easy...and we need new uniforms"
10:24 Windows 78 Second Edition. 😜
MS-DOS.
MS-DOS did not exist in the 1970s. My comment was a joke...@@kc4cvh
Remember the palmenteres
Dammed robber even took the dudes wallet. The guy at the store was making about 3 bucks an hour then. Sheesh.
It's funny watching CHIPS after seeing this. All the male cops (actors) have hair over their ears. Looks silly.
Back in the 70's if your ears where showing you were completely lambasted by your buddies - for real!
COP Constable on patrol
:50. police drove by black citizen without shooting them or beating them. 😉
Police drive by a black citizen and are surprised to see he's not in the act of commiting a crime
