Best Answer

1 = Central Division

Adam = Two Man Patrol Car

12 = Basic Car Area of Patrol

Every division in LAPD is further divided by basic areas, in which specific cars are assigned. Usually one of the grid numbers gives the unit area its number.

In the case of Adam-12, there are several stories, of how "12" came to be. One is that Dan Cook, LAPD Liason officer once worked in a unit 12. Another story is that Jack Webb once lived in an apartment 12.

The tv show Adam 12 depicted a police division located in Los Angeles or LAPD. The "Adam" was phoenetic for letter "A" and the 12 stood for the last 2 digits of the number on the patrol car. For LAPD, "A" would indicate it was two person patrol vehicle and 12 then would be part of patrol car's number.

How did Adam knew that Eve was made of his rib?

You need to realize that Adam and Eve is a fairy story-there was never an Adam and Eve. Its just a nice creation story and nothing else. I doubt if Adam ever realized that Eve was ever made from his rib. This is but figurative, meaning that Eve was to stand at Adams side in all things. Eve was created in the same way as Adam was, from the elements that were already in existence.
