Editor's note: This is the first in a weekly series of stories on the 2008 Citizens' Law Enforcement Academy.

As it turns out, television's police procedurals don't often authentically portray the inner workings of a police department.

Literature's pulpy canon of mystery sub-genres also gets the details wrong on occasion.

But over the next six weeks, the 2008 Citizens' Law Enforcement Academy will shed some light on the finer points of police operations at Missoula's largest law enforcement agency - the police department.
