site by CHP Officer Frank Runyon. After the  initial seasons, Mr. Runyon continued to serve as a technical  advisor but the CHP reduced its official support for the program.  The opening expression of gratitude thus became more "generic". It  read: "This program is dedicated to the Highway Patrols throughout  the nation and their contribution to the safeguarding of public  welfare. We are deeply grateful for the technical advice and  assistance which made the authentic production of this program  possible."
