Excerpt from The Rising Drug Threat and Some Recent Successes: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on National Security, International Affairs, and Criminal Justice of the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session, June 10, 1996 Item Two: We substantially enhanced the size, skill and morale of our police force. We upgraded their arsenal. We expanded their mobility, through the acquisition of new and better motor vehicles, boats and aircraft. We modernized their communications and their data processing infrastructure. We forged an alliance with the John Jay College of the city of New York, to professionalize our police officers and to convert our police academy into the only one where every new officer now grad nates with an associate degree in criminal justice.
