I promise you that's not true. I'm writing a story and looking to use that as a plot point. I've visited lots of PD websites, and emailed a bunch that didn't have the information listed.

Yep. I'm curious about how the myth started. Was there a TV show that first did it that everyone copied?

Dragnet was the first that I know of. All the cops were just schmoes compared to the detectives.

It just sort of fell into place in fiction I suppose.
