As the population of Los Angeles exploded in the late 1950s and 1960s, so did crime. LAPD officials found it increasingly difficult to thwart criminal activity that didn't fall neatly into geographic boundaries. Crooks would pull off a heist in one area of the city, then do another 30 miles away. Chief William Parker created SIS in 1965 to coordinate surveillance operations and gather evidence across the city. Back then, the cowboy image fit. Some of the squad members rode in police rodeos, and the unit developed a logo that sported a cloaked spy wielding a dagger. Several SIS officers still wear it on their belts and shirts.
