What are some notable differences in police procedure and operation in the 1950’s compared to today, particularly in metropolitan areas?

Additionally, how did major highlights of the Cold War during this time period affect these procedures.

I know there’s a lot to unpack in a question like this, so I would greatly appreciate any direction towards further reading. I’ve done some research on my own, but I feel as though most of the content I’ve read doesn’t quite hit on what I’m looking for.

(This is my first post here. While I did read the rules, please let me know if I should adjust or re-direct this question. Thanks much.)
