KMPC EXTENDS LAW
"THE long arm of the law" literally has been extended by KMPC Los Angeles through its broadcasting of police alert calls to aid the California Highway Patrol.
Holdup men in getaway cars and hit-and-run drivers are finding it tougher to elude the highway patrol with KMPC's direct broadcasting of police calls to alert the general public with descriptions of the fleeing autos.
Three recent cases, two involving hit-and-run accidents and the other theft, were solved as a result of tips from citizens who heard these broadcasts over KMPC, noted Mark Haas, the station's broadcasting director.
As a public service, KMPC now has a working arrangement with the Los Angeles City Police and the highway patrol whereby the police will notify the station of all incidents in which an all-out alert might help them and protect the public. The station interrupts its regular programs to broadcast such information.
