The exhibits also show the interplay of the LAPD and Hollywood. There are two wallet badges with the picture-identifications of two fictional detectives from the radio and television show Dragnet. The show's creator Jack Webb played the lead role of Sergeant Joe Friday. Martin says a spin-off series called Adam-12 would bring the department into the homes of Americans.

"For us, what it meant was the LAPD came into the living room of folks had TV sets, the trials and tribulations of a day-to-day detective, and all the trappings that went along with that were now in the living room, and that could definitely increase the understanding of what it meant to be a police officer here in Los Angeles during that time."

The department has been featured in many movies, including LA Confidential and the Die Hard and Lethal Weapon series. An LAPD officer Joseph Wambaugh became a best-selling writer of police and crime stories. The museum also tells the story of a real-life incident in 1997 when two heavily armed bank robbers battled police for 44 minutes in the North Hollywood section of the city.

这个展馆也显示出了洛杉矶警察局和好莱坞的互相影响。里面有两枚无线电视节目天罗地网两位侦探的附有图片识别的钱包里面的徽章。节目制作人杰克韦伯在里面扮演了主角， Joe Friday 警官。马丁说从此而衍生出的一个连续剧亚当 12 把洛杉矶警局带进了美国人的家里。

“对于我们来说，这意味着洛杉矶警局进入每一个有电视的平民的家里，侦探每天所受到的考验和磨难，跟与其结伴而行的陷阱，都出现在平民的家里，所有这些肯定能过增加人们对那个时期在洛杉矶这里当一名警官意味着什么的理解。”

这个部门也是很多电影的一大特色，包括洛城机密，虎胆龙威，致命武器系列。一位名叫 Joseph Wambaugh 的警官现在成为了警匪故事的最佳销售作品的作家。这个展馆也向我们展示了一个真实的事件，在 1997 年，两名荷枪实弹的抢劫银行的匪徒在该市的北好莱坞区和警察激战 44 分钟。
