Photographer William Karl Valentine grew up visiting the Pasadena Police department, where his father was a reserve police officer. When Valentine enrolled at Arizona State University to study photography, he decided that his first project would be a documentation of the police department.
Over the course of four years at ASU, Valentine logged over 1,000 hours shadowing officers in the Pasadena police department, photographing every major operation and event that he was there to witness. What has resulted is a fantastic time capsule of what it was like to be police officer in the LA suburb when the Drug War was on full blast.
