If the citizen telephoning police headquarters desires information or advice, the call is relayed to officers on duty at the desk. Here, Officers Ulysses Nesbett and Syd Moate listen attentively to two such calls. One concerned information regarding a dog license and the other a 'spite fence.'" Valley Police headquarters is located at 6240 Tyrone Avenue, Van Nuys.
