Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cops Program: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Crime of the Committee on the Judiciary, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session, December 7, 1995
Mr. Mccollum. If I could I'd like to call this Subcommittee on Crime hearing to order this morning. We have a very important topic to discuss. Some of our members are in a conference on the Republican side on a caucus on the Democratic side. We even called the meetings of our groups different names. I can't under stand that tradition totally, but that's the way it is. But we do have a number of us present and we want to thank the witnesses for coming.
Today we examine the community policing initiative, better known as the cops [community Oriented Policing Services] pro gram which was established in last year's controversial crime bill. The ostensible purpose of the cops program is to put more police on the streets. This was of course one of President Clinton's major campai promises. All accounts the President appears to be well on is way toward, keeping this promise. The Justice Department's cops Office, as we will hear today, claims to have added approximately police to the streets though grants it has issued over the past year. The Department's dedica tion to getting this job done quickly serves as a model of what. An agency is capable of doing when it is enthusiastic about its mission.
