Says Ronald Grayson, 33, of Triangle, Va., who plays a dope peddler: "You get to see how the law works without being on the wrong end of the stick. When they twist those cuffs on you, boy, it makes you think." Hogan's Alley has a similar sobering effect on its students. Says Raymond, an agent-trainee whose last name was withheld to protect him from the genuine criminals he will encounter after he graduates: "When you arrest someone, it hits...
