The cop dramas in the 60s/70s we almost infomercials pedaling very specific messaging. Some was aimed at police in an attempt to educate the myriad of forces on the law (Dragnet) while others educated the public.

(I would provide links to youtube but such films are too gruesome, showing actual dead bodies.)
