Problem: In the 1950s LAPD recruitment video and the recruitment videos and LA Times profile of an academy class, what are the messages conveyed in word and image through the 1950s video compared to the more contemporary website and recruitment video (note it is made for a military recruit pool)? What are the similarities and differences between the two eras of recruitment strategies? How could knowledge of a department's history (like the history discussed in the supplementary readings) apply to contemporary recruitment efforts? Why? How would it feasibly impact your recruit pool?
