The Missoula Police Department
 

Copy...I'm in route now! 
As of August 1998 the majority of the patrol fleet are Chevy Luminas.  Three of our cars are Ford Crown Victorias.  Needless to say, the Chevy Caprice is missed.

  1998 Ford Crown Victoria-Unit 428.
 

We affectionately call him "Jughead", officer Jim Johnson. 
 

Our last Caprice, 1995 model, is now being used as a Jim Klawitter's K9 car.

Briefing, Graveyard shift.  Brian Damaskos-acting shift comm.

Though this is a bit hard to see, a bear rests in this tree in the University District. Missoula is located in the heart of nature.  Occassionally the two cross paths.  It is the duty of law enforcement to see that both public safety and the needs of wildlife are kept in balance.  No officer wants to see harm come to either.

Montana Fish and Game with the assistance of MPD and University Police tranquilize the bear in order to move him back to his habitat, away from harms way.

This bear is ready for a ride home with MT F&G.
