POLICE PROBE ASSURED
Re: "Police Scandal Deepens City must get to the bottom of this," last
Saturday's Editorials. In January 2002, the FBI and U.S. Department of
Justice formally requested in writing that the Dallas Police Department not
move forward with its planned investigation of the department's fake drug
scandal until the FBI concluded its own investigation. Since I have been on
the City Council fewer than five months I took the opportunity this week to
ask the FBI if it has in any way changed its directive to the city of
Dallas. It said unequivocally that it had not. The FBI stated further that
it has not concluded its investigation.
I want to assure the public that there will be an investigation launched by
the city of Dallas into the fake drug scandal immediately upon the
conclusion of the FBI investigation. And we will get to the bottom of it.
