STORY INFO: It was a sad day in Oceanside at family members, law enforcement, and community members paid tribute to Martin Milner who passed away on September 6th, 2015. He was best known for his leading role in the show ‘Adam-12’, a show about LAPD officers and their jobs. Milner’s show was so popular and his character was so likeable that it inspired countless people to join LAPD and serve their community. Today’s memorial service was held at the First Presbyterian Church in Oceanside this morning. Officers from as far as LAPD were there wearing traditional uniforms to pay respect to a man that gave so much publicity to law enforcement. Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck paid tribute to the late actor Martin Milner today for inspiring thousands of men and women to become LAPD officers through his portrayal of a beat cop on TV’s hit show “Adam-12.” Milner died at his home Sunday night at age 83. His death was first reported by the entertainment Website TMZ. “Adam 12 and Martin Milner embodied the spirit of the LAPD to millions of viewers,” Beck said in a statement released by the LAPD’s Media Relations department. “His depiction of a professional and tough yet compassionate cop led to thousands of men and women applying to become LAPD officers, including me. Godspeed Martin, you will live forever in our hearts.” ---- Connect with San Diego North County News:   / sandiegoncn     / sdnorthcountynews   http://sdnorthcountynews.com
