You left out the clincher: "There are over five thousand men in this city who know that being a policeman is an endless, glamorless, thankless job that's gotta be done. I know it, too. And I'm damned glad to be one of them."

You know, the more I see this, the more I’m impressed by it. All the credit goes to the writer of this episode…and to Jack Webb, who probably got a lot of ribbing for his staccato delivery of his lines (that flat tone delivery launched 1001 jokes, which in a way he deadpans in his speech)…but you can hear the emotion in his voice (if you listen hard enough) as he points out that while he’s proud to be a police person, it’s not an easy job or life. Wasn’t then (circa 1967), isn’t now (as I write this, 2023). Mad respect. [RIP Mr. Webb and Mr. Morgan]

In other words, you have to be passionate about it or it will break you. Jack Webb was passionate about it even though he wasn't a policeman. He highly respected them, that's why he did this show. He wanted to show them as regular people who did their job. He showed the drudgery of stakeouts, the long investigation, even the disrespect the officers received. He also threw in a bit of humor. Cops are people, they deserve all the respect and support they get.

It's awkward having a policeman around the house. Friends drop in, a man with a badge answers the door, the temperature drops 20 degrees. You throw a party and that badge gets in the way. All of a sudden, there isn't a straight man in the crowd. Everybody's a comedian. 'Dont drink too much,' somebody says, 'or the man in the badge will run you in.' Or, 'How's it goin' Dick Tracy? How many jaywalkers did you pinch today?' And then there's always the one who wants to know how many apples you stole. All at once, you lost your first name. You're a cop, a flatfoot, a bull, a dick, John Law, you're the Fuzz, the heat, you're poison, you're trouble, you're bad news. They call you everything, but never a policeman. Maybe she's right. It's not much of a life unless you don't mind missing a Dodger game because the "Hotshot phone" rings. Not unless you like working Saturdays, Sundays, holidays at a job that doesn't pay overtime. Oh, the pay's adequate. You count your pennies, you could put your kid through college, but you better plan on seeing Europe on your television set. And then there's your first night on the beat. When you try to arrest a drunken prostitute in a Main Street bar and she rips your new uniform to shreds. You'll buy another one out of your own pocket. And you're going to rub elbows with all the elite: pimps, addicts, thieves, bums, winos, girls who can't keep an address and men who don't care. Liars, cheats, con men, the class of Skid Row. And the heartbreak: underfed kids, beaten kids, molested kids, lost kids, crying kids, homeless kids, hit-and-run kids, broken arm kids, broken leg kids, broken head kids, sick kids, dying kids, dead kids. The old people that nobody wants: the reliefers, the pensioners, the ones who walk the street cold and those who tried to keep warm and died in a three-dollar room with an unvented gas heater. You'll walk your beat and try to pick up the pieces. You have real adventure in your soul, Culver? You better have. Because you're going to do time in a prowl car. Oh, it's gonna be a thrill a minute when you get and "unknown trouble" and hit a backyard at two in the morning, never knowing who you'll meet: a kid with a knife, a pillhead with a gun or two ex-cons with nothing to lose. And you're going to have plenty of time to think. You'll draw duty in a "Lonely Car" with nobody to talk to but your radio. Four years in uniform, you'll have the ability, the experience and maybe the desire to be a detective. If you like to fly by the seat of your pants, this is where you belong.

For some reason, I never really liked cop shows. I was never into the story of the ordinary, everyday guy with the badge, mixing it up with crooks, murderers and lowlifes. It's just not a premise that sticks with me, and worse yet, I think that most TV police shows tend to depend on people liking their premise, and leave it at that. Not Joe Friday. The man has something special that other cop shows don't have. He doesn't just enforce the law; he calls on people to be responsible citizens, policemen and kids. There's something of a virus in modern times that causes people to label anything "campy" if it asks or inspires us to be better than we are. Don't let those folks get you down. By that definition, "campy" is one of the few things I want to be.

The pay for police and teachers is ridiculously low. If you want to attract quality people to do nasty jobs you have to be willing to pay for it. If you want to have high standards and screen out applicants who have no business being cops, such as psychopaths and racists then you have to improve the pay substantially. Sadly enough both law enforcement and teaching professions are magnets for narcissists. There are significant labor shortages in both policing and teaching at the present time, leaving police departments and schools understaffed. Yuba City, California got hit with a $20 million verdict after one of their officers body slammed an old veteran that he had stopped for drunk driving, breaking his neck and leaving him paralyzed. The Louisville (KY) metropolitan PD is having significant financial difficulties because of lawsuit verdicts. Jacking up their pay might just be a financially smart thing to do for the long term. Don't forget that police have a lot of discretionary authority in deciding specifically how the law gets enforced. You don't want to turn that kind of authority over to just anybody.
@markv1274

Depends which country. Here in Australia, teaching is a cushy job with lots of downtime. 12 weeks paid vacation throughout the year. Once returning from summer vacation, teachers would often tell us where they went for their holidays--usually some far away place or somewhere exotic. By contrast, my father worked for the city for decades and has never been overseas, and likely never will be. As for cops, they receive plenty of overtime and are well looked after. Again, plenty of vacation time, and despite what you see in cop shows, a lot of the work they do is sitting and standing around. Television cops make a bust every week, because would you really want to watch a show about cops doing paperwork? Not so in real life. Cops might see two or three tense situations in an entire year. Additionally, they are quite often above the law and receive a slap on the wrist for doing heinous things. Even worse, the police force these days will take just about anybody, and that includes thugs who are too stupid to do anything else.
