IIRC, Dragnet was originally a radio program. Then there was a tv series in the 1950s which was revived in the 1960s. I don't know about the radio show, but Jack Webb starred in both of the tv series.
In the show mentioned in the OP (The Shooting Board), Friday states that during his career he had to fire his revolver twice in the line of duty (not including manditory firing range qualifications of course). I thought that sounded like a real low-ball number, especially if you included the shootouts he was in in the 1950s shows.
