	Jack Webb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Webb's personal life was better defined by his love of jazz than his interest in police work.
		Webb also tried his hand in several other movies that did not gain major status at the box office, such as The DI, a 1957 film about a US Marine Corps drill instructor.
		Webb was given a funeral with full police honors (including the chief of police announcing that the badge number 714 that Webb used in Dragnet would be retired) although he had never actually served on the force.

	Webb, Jack
		Webb broke the traditional molds of both "true story" crime dramas and "radio noir" by de-emphasizing violence, suspense, and the personal life of the protagonists; he instead strove for maximum verisimilitude by using police jargon, showing "business-only" cops following dead-end leads and methodical procedures, and sacrificing spectacle for authenticity.
		Webb's personal ties to the L.A.P.D. (which approved scripts and production for every Dragnet episode) and his own admitted "ultra-conservative" political beliefs tinted his version of "reality" in all of his productions, where good always triumphed over evil and the law always represented the best interests of all members of the society at large.
		Webb's least successful venture was his brief tenure as a studio executive.
