I remember that series well. [B]2150 to headquarters. :)[/B]The California Highway Patrol was used as a model for that show. A retired CHP commander was the show's consultant. An interesting note about [B]Broderick Crawford[/B]. He had so many DUI convictions, he was not allowed to drive on public streets or highways due to his driver's license being suspended. The only time he drove a car during this time was during the show's filming. :confused:

On “Highway Patrol,” you can’t beat Broderick Crawford wearing his ever-present fedora and barking “21-50 to headquarters!” in his rapid-fire, no-frills delivery.

“Highway Patrol” aired in syndication from 1955-1959, with the show’s producers and crew having to deal with Crawford’s heavy drinking. Ironically, many of the scenes featured him driving his police car; in reality, some of those scenes had to be shot on back roads because [B]Crawford’s driver’s license was suspended for drunk driving.
