Thomas Reddin

Thomas Reddin (June 25, 1916 – December 4, 2004) was a Los Angeles Police Department chief from 1967 to 1969. He left May 6, 1969, to become a news commentator. He also owned a private security company in Los Angeles; Tom Reddin Security.

Reddin helped modernize the department and introduced the community policing concept, [ [http://www.lapdonline.org/december_2004/news_view/20695 official website of THE LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT ] ] which "perceives the community as an agent and partner in promoting security rather than as a passive audience."
