Talk:LAPD: Life on the Beat

POV

This is POV: Officer Jeff Alley played a huge roll by making sure that the TV crews always had a deeper understanding of what was really going on. He didn't play up the camera but instead took the great opportunity to educate those in TV land about police work with pros and cons of situations and allowed those with an interest in law enforcement to have a better understanding about the job. Officer Alley along with the Colomeys and O'Donnell were some of LAPD's greatest recruiters. Even though I haven't watched the show more than a couple of times, as a casual reader I thought that this was vandilism. Realising that it was POV, I added a warning. If someone would either add verifying citations or correct and non-neutral statements, that would be great.C0N6R355 11:23, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

There's a whole load of POV in the recent additions and sadly not a single reference. I have removed some of obvious POV stuff but not having seen the series I can't say that the other is clearly wrong so I left it with {{cn}} tags to add to the already unreferenced nature of the entire article. You are of course welcome to remove material, or move it to the talk page for discussion and agreement before it is returned to the article. Rich257 12:29, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

As most issues have been addressed, I've taken out: "Officer Alley along with the Colomeys and O'Donnell were some of LAPD's greatest recruiters." Anyone can reinsert with a decent ref. - RoyBoy 20:47, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
