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. Gary Griffith, Public Safety Committee, Dallas City Council, Dallas - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Stevens
