Thanks to community correspondent and steadfast Altadena Sheriff Station volunteer Deb Halberstadt for unearthing this gem: "Top Cops" was a re-enactment series from 1990-1993, with police officers narrating some of their most dramatic experiences. One of them was then-Sheriff Detective John S. Benedict, now Altadena's Sheriff Captain, who tells the tale of an heroic rescue he made as a patrol deputy in the hills of Malibu in 1989.
