Steve McGarrett's Dedication
It was the dream of many police officers to work in Hawaii, the Aloha state. It was so beautiful, with its palm trees, warm beaches, and beautiful women in grass skirts or bikinis. But Detective Steve McGarrett wasn't in it for the glamor. No-nonsense, dedicated, and independent-minded, he was one highly intelligent cop, and came through on every case eventually. Every time, he ultimately caught the perpetrator involved in a criminal activity, and told his partner and friend, Danny Williams, to "Book him, Danno." Stopping crime was what motivated him.
Of course, his job wasn't as smooth as that of, say, Sergeant Joe Friday. Unlike Friday, he had to use his gun more often, and was framed for many crimes he didn't commit, like murder, extortion, and grand theft art. However, with his skills and his quick-thinking, McGarrett nonetheless got through every attempt on his life and his career with flying colors, and perhaps was as good as Friday at being like a genuine police officer.
