PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS: FED. LAW-ENFORCEMENT
TRAINING CENTER
GLYNCO, GA
JUNE 15, 10:40 P.M.
THANK YOU, CHARLIE. ATTORNEY GENERAL THORNBURGH,
DICK; SECRETARY BRADY, JIM; CONGRESSMAN LINDSAY
THOMAS -- Bo GINN. It's A DELIGHT TO BE WITH YOU ALL,
SO NEAR THE GOLDEN ISLES OF GEORGIA.
((THIS IS SUCH A WARM SUMMER DAY, I THINK CHARLIE
RINKEVICH SHOULD TAKE YOU ALL OVER TO PAM'S.))
- 2 -
((I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE SOME IN THESE
PARTS WHO BELIEVE THAT THE LOCAL MOSQUITO -- ACTUALLY A
SAND GNAT -- IS THE GEORGIA STATE BIRD
NOT TRUE
.
ALTHOUGH I HEAR THEY'RE BIG ENOUGH FOR SKEET.))
((AND SPEAKING OF YOUR SHOOTING RANGE, I ALSO HEAR
THAT A DISTINGUISHED GRADUATE OF THIS INSTITUTION,
SHIRLEY TEMPLE BLACK, SOON TO BE OUR AMBASSADOR TO
CZECHOSLOVAKIA, HAD AN ALMOST PERFECT SCORE. FOUR
SHOTS.
- 3 -
RIGHT ON THE TARGET
AND THE TARGET WAS A PICTURE
OF A TOURIST WITH A CAMERA ((PAUSE)). SHIRLEY IS A
GREAT DIPLOMAT, BUT YOU MIGHT WANT TO CANCEL YOUR TRIP
TO PRAGUE THIS SUMMER.))
WHEN YOU GRADUATE FROM THE FEDERAL LAW-ENFORCEMENT
TRAINING CENTER, YOU WILL LEAVE WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT
YOU HAVE ALREADY CONFRONTED THE HARDEST QUESTIONS ANY
PEACE OFFICER MUST FACE. You WILL HAVE ALREADY BEEN
TESTED UNDER FIRE.
- 4 -
You WILL KNOW, FROM THE FIREARM TRAINING CENTER,
WHETHER OR NOT YOU WOULD SHOOT WHEN YOU MUST SHOOT, AND
IF YOU WOULD HOLD YOUR FIRE WHEN THE APPARENT BANK
ROBBER TURNS OUT TO BE A CHILD WITH A TOY GUN. You
WILL KNOW FROM "HOGAN'S ALLEY" JUST HOW FAST YOUR
REACTION TIME REALLY IS. IN SHORT, YOU WILL HAVE BEEN
TRIED AND TESTED, ALL OF YOUR REFLEXES -- PHYSICAL,
MENTAL AND MORAL.
- 5 -
WHEN YOU RETURN TO DUTY -- WHETHER YOUR DUTY IS AT
A FEDERAL COURTHOUSE IN ATLANTA, THE MOUNTAIN HOLLOWS
OF WEST VIRGINIA OR THE CITY STREETS OF NEW YORK, YOU
WILL TAKE WITH YOU A CONFIDENCE AND A SELF-ASSURANCE
THAT CAN ONLY BE EARNED, NEVER BESTOWED.
You MIGHT GUARD A NASA ROCKET, A WITNESS UNDER THE
THREAT OF A MURDER CONTRACT, OR A VISITING PRIME
MINISTER. You MIGHT BE A MEMBER OF U.S. CUSTOMS, THE
SECRET SERVICE, OR PRACTICALLY ANY FEDERAL AGENCY.
- 6 -
OR YOU MIGHT BE A LOCAL OR STATE LAW ENFORCER. BUT
WHEREVER YOU ARE FROM, WHATEVER YOU DO, YOU WEAR A
BADGE OVER YOUR HEART -- A BADGE OF SERVICE
A
BADGE OF HONOR. ((PAUSE))
THIS CENTER IS DEDICATED TO A SPECIAL PARTNERSHIP
BETWEEN EVERY MAN AND WOMAN WITH A BADGE. THE BULK OF
LAW ENFORCEMENT IS PROVIDED BY ONE PARTNER, THE STATES
AND LOCALITIES -- THOSE CLOSEST TO THE STREETS AND
HOMES OF AMERICA.
- 7 -
THE OTHER PARTNER, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, IS BEST
EQUIPPED TO FIGHT SPECIALIZED CRIMES -- FROM
INTERDICTING DRUGS ON THE HIGH SEAS, TO PUTTING PRISON
STRIPES ON HIGH-ROLLING CROOKS IN PINSTRIPES. AND THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS ADEPT AT YET ANOTHER TASK --
TRAINING. THAT IS WHY THIS CENTER IS so WELL SUITED TO
THIS SPECIAL PARTNERSHIP.
THE CENTER IS RENOWNED FOR ITS HIGH-TECH, STATE-OF-
THE ART FACILITIES, AND MANY TALENTED INSTRUCTORS.
- 8 -
BUT IT IS MORE THAN YOUR AMPLE RESOURCES AND YOUR
EXCELLENT FACULTY THAT MAKE GLYNCO ONE OF THE MOST
UNIQUE LAW-ENFORCEMENT TRAINING FACILITIES IN THE
WORLD. IT IS ALSO YOUR SINGULAR AND UNWAVERING
COMMITMENT TO FIGHTING CRIME. You TEACH MANY AGENCIES,
BUT YOU ARE ONE ACADEMY WITH ONE PURPOSE -- TO CATCH
TODAY'S CRIMINALS WITH TOMORROW'S METHODS, TO LIFT THE
SHADOW OF FEAR FROM AMERICA.
- 9 -
HERE, INVESTIGATORS LEARN HOW TO TRACK DOWN
INSURANCE OR TELECOMMUNICATIONS FRAUD, MONEY
LAUNDERING, OR COMPUTER CRIMES. GLYNCO'S FINANCIAL
FRAUD INSTITUTE WILL ALLOW AGENCIES TO KEEP UP WITH A
BOOM INDUSTRY -- THE QUIET LARCENIES OF WHITE-COLLAR
CRIME.
HERE, STATE LAW ENFORCERS WORK WITH FEDERAL AGENTS
TO LEARN HOW TO CRACK A DRUG RING.
- 10 -
HERE, U.S. AMBASSADORS LEARN TO RECOGNIZE AND AVOID
TERRORISTS. INVESTIGATORS AND REGULATORS LEARN HOW TO
WORK TOGETHER TO TRACK DOWN THOSE WHO WOULD POISON OUR
LAKES AND RIVERS.
NOWHERE ELSE DO LAW ENFORCERS FROM SO MANY AGENCIES
TRAIN TOGETHER. You MAY BE A SECURITY OFFICER FROM THE
STATE DEPARTMENT OR A U.S. MARSHALL.
- 11 -
AT THIS CENTER YOU LEARN THAT THERE ARE MANY AGENCIES
THAT FIGHT CRIME; BUT YOU ARE ALL MEMBERS OF ONE TEAM,
THE UNITED FORCES OF JUSTICE.
THE PEACE OFFICERS MEMORIAL HERE AT GLYNCO IS A
SOMBER REMINDER OF THIS SHARED CAUSE
...
AND SHARED
SACRIFICE. THIRTY-NINE NAMES, THIRTY-NINE SLAIN
FEDERAL OFFICERS
...
ALL WERE GRADUATES OF THIS
CENTER.
- 12 -
AMONG THE NAMES IS ONE I KNOW WELL -- ARIEL RIOS, A
SPECIAL AGENT OF THE BUREAU OF ALCOHOL, TOBACCO AND
FIREARMS. ARIEL GRADUATED FROM THE CENTER IN MARCH,
1979. AND HE WAS SHOT TO DEATH WHILE WORKING
UNDERCOVER IN SOUTH FLORIDA IN DECEMBER, 1982.
JULIE CROSS, SPECIAL AGENT, U.S. SECRET SERVICE --
HER NAME MARKS A POIGNANT DISTINCTION.
- 13 -
WHEN SHE WAS KILLED IN Los ANGELES IN JUNE, 1980, WHILE
WORKING A CRIMINAL COUNTERFEIT INVESTIGATION, JULIE
BECAME THE FIRST FEMALE SECRET SERVICE AGENT TO DIE IN
THE LINE OF DUTY.
SADLY, THESE ARE NOT THE ONLY NAMES OF SLAIN
OFFICERS. OF 161 OFFICERS KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY
LAST YEAR, 152 WERE STATE OR LOCAL OFFICERS.
- 14 -
MORE THAN 1,500 LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS HAVE BEEN
KILLED IN THE PAST TEN YEARS. THAT IS ALMOST ONE DEATH
ALMOST EVERY TWO DAYS. ONE DEATH FOR EVERY TWO DAYS.
WELL, I AM HERE TODAY TO DELIVER A MESSAGE. I SAID
IT IN NEW YORK, AFTER THE MURDER OF SPECIAL AGENT
EVERETT HATCHER. I CAME HERE, TO GEORGIA, TO LAY A
WREATH AND TO REPEAT A WARNING --BETTER THAT YOU HAD
NEVER BEEN BORN THAN TO ATTACK ONE OF AMERICA'S FINEST.
- 15 -
So I HAVE ALSO COME HERE TO SEND A MESSAGE TO
CONGRESS: WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO PROTECT THOSE WHO
PROTECT US. ((PAUSE))
I HAVE COME HERE TODAY TO SIGN A TRANSMITTAL, AN
OFFICIAL MESSAGE TO CONGRESS DETAILING OUR CRIME
PACKAGE. USUALLY, THIS WOULD ENTAIL NOTHING MORE THAN
A QUICK FLOURISH OF THE PEN, AND THEN SENDING AN AIDE
ON A TEN-MINUTE CAR RIDE DOWN PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE TO
CAPITOL HILL.
- 16 -
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO FIGHTING CRIME, YOU DESERVE MORE
THAN BUSINESS AS USUAL. THAT IS WHY I HAVE COME ALMOST
A THOUSAND MILES TO THE CENTER, TO LET YOU KNOW WE
INTEND TO BACK YOU WHERE IT COUNTS -- ON THE STREETS
AND IN THE COURTROOM.
FIRST, I CALL ON CONGRESS TO DO FOR DANGEROUS
FIREARMS WHAT IT HAS WISELY DONE FOR DANGEROUS DRUGS.
- 17 -
I PROPOSE TO DOUBLE THE MANDATORY PENALTIES FOR THE USE
OF SEMI-AUTOMATIC WEAPONS IN CRIMES INVOLVING VIOLENCE
OR DRUGS. THOSE WHO USE A SEMI-AUTOMATIC WEAPON IN
FEDERAL CRIMES -- OR so MUCH AS HAVE ONE DURING THE
COMMISSION OF A CRIME -- WILL DO AN AUTOMATIC 10 YEARS
IN FEDERAL PRISON. THERE WILL BE NO EXCUSES. No
PROBATION. AND NO PAROLE. LET'S PUT THE HANDCUFFS ON
CRIMINALS, NOT ON THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM.
((PAUSE))
- 18 -
SECONDLY, WE CAN'T PLEA BARGAIN AWAY THE LIVES OF
YOUR LOVED ONES, THE LIVES OF FELLOW COPS AND KIDS. I
HAVE DIRECTED THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO ADVISE AMERICA'S
FEDERAL PROSECUTORS TO END PLEA BARGAINING FOR VIOLENT
FEDERAL FIREARMS OFFENSES. OUR MESSAGE TO THE COMMON
CRIMINAL IS THIS: PACK A GUN AND WE'LL PACK YOU AWAY.
((PAUSE))
- 19 -
THIRD, WHEN A CRIMINAL COMMITS A CRIME WITH A GUN -
- AND SOMEONE DIES -- JUSTICE DEMANDS SOMETHING IN
RETURN -- THE ULTIMATE PENALTY -- DEATH. ((PAUSE)) I
CALL ON GOVERNORS TO MATCH THIS FEDERAL INITIATIVE AND
PROPOSE THESE SAME THREE STANDARDS AT HOME -- MANDATORY
TIME, NO DEALS WITHOUT COOPERATION AND THE DEATH
PENALTY.
- 20 -
FOURTH -- AT MY DIRECTION, THE BUREAU OF ALCOHOL,
TOBACCO AND FIREARMS SUSPENDED THE IMPORTATION OF
CERTAIN ASSAULT WEAPONS. A-T-F IS CONTINUING ITS
EXAMINATION TO DETERMINE WHICH -- IF ANY -- OF THESE
WEAPONS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE UNDER THE STANDARDS IN
EXISTING LAW. AT THE CONCLUSION OF THIS STUDY -- AND
AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION -- WE WILL PERMANENTLY BAN
ANY IMPORTS THAT DON'T MEASURE UP TO THESE STANDARDS.
- 21 -
FIFTH -- TOWARD THIS SAME END, I AM PROPOSING THE
PROHIBITION OF THE IMPORTATION AND MANUFACTURE OF GUN
MAGAZINES OF MORE THAN 15 ROUNDS FOR CITIZENS' USE.
FINALLY, I AM REQUESTING FUNDING FOR THE HIRING OF
825 NEW FEDERAL AGENTS AND STAFF -- 375 AT ALCOHOL,
TOBACCO AND FIREARMS, 300 AT THE FBI AND 150 NEW DEPUTY
U.S. MARSHALS. THESE NEW LAW ENFORCERS SHOULD BE
MATCHED BY 1,600 NEW PROSECUTORS AND STAFF.
- 22 -
WE ARE ASKING FOR AN ADDITIONAL $1 BILLION -- OVER AND
ABOVE $500 MILLION ALREADY SLATED FOR 1990 -- FOR
FEDERAL PRISON CONSTRUCTION. THIS WILL MEAN 24,000 NEW
BEDS TO BOOST FEDERAL PRISON CAPACITY BY NEARLY 80
PERCENT.
IN SHORT, I AM PROPOSING MORE LAW ENFORCERS TO
CATCH CRIMINALS; MORE STAFF TO PROSECUTE THEM; AND MORE
PRISONS TO KEEP THEM OFF THE STREETS. ((PAUSE))
- 23 -
GLYNCO PLAYS A MAJOR ROLE IN THIS WAR ON CRIME. To
SAY IT EXISTS TO "FOSTER INTERAGENCY COOPERATION" IS A
FORGIVABLE UNDERSTATEMENT. IT CREATES A BOND BETWEEN
YOU AND YOUR ROOMMATES, YOUR CLASSMATES, YOUR FELLOW
OFFICERS OF THE LAW. THIS IS A BOND THAT CAN BE KNOWN
ONLY BY THOSE WHO PUT THEMSELVES ON THE LINE EVERY DAY
IN THE SERVICE OF A GREAT CAUSE.
- 24 -
IN A COUNTRY WHERE CRIMINALS THREATEN TO ERODE THE
VERY LIBERTIES WE HOLD SO DEAR, YOU ARE DOMESTIC
FREEDOM FIGHTERS IN THE WAR ON CRIME. FOR THIS REASON,
YOU HAVE A FRIEND IN THE OVAL OFFICE, AND THE GRATITUDE
AND SUPPORT OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
THANK YOU, GOD BLESS YOU, AND GOD BLESS AMERICA.

TO: MARK DAVIS
LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING CENTER - GEORGIA
WHEN MY GRANDKIDS HEARD I'D BE ADDRESSING THE SMURFS, IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THEY
BEGGED TO COME WITH ME TO A SPEECH.
I TOLD SOMEONE ON MY STAFF I'D BE SPEAKING TO THE SMURFS TODAY, AND HE SAID
"WHO ARE YOU VISITING NEXT -- ALF?"
I WAS TRYING TO IMAGINE HOW INTIMIDATED A CRIMINAL WOULD BE, HEARING SOMEONE
SHOUT OVER A BULLHORN, "COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP -- YOU'RE SURROUNDED BY
SMURFS."
I GATHER THIS ISN'T ONE OF THE MAJOR CRIME EXX CENTERS OF THE SOUTH. FOR SOME
REASON, THERE'S NEVER BEEN A TV SHOW CALLED "GLYNCO VICE."
BEING IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY REMINDS ME OF "SMOKEY & THE BANDIT," AND THE
REPUTATION THAT STATE TROOPERS HAVE FOR TOUGHNESS. THERE'S A STORY ABOUT A MOTORIST
WHO WAS STOPPED FOR SPEEDING, AND THE TROOPER GAVE HIM A TICKET. THE DRIVER SAID
"OFFICER, THIS IS MY FIRST OFFENSE, COULDN'T YOU JUST GIVE ME A WARNING?" so THE
TROOPER FIRED A SHOT OVER HIS HEAD.

PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS: FED. LAW-ENFORCEMENT TRAINING CENTER
GLYNCO, Ga./JUNE 15, 10:40 p.m.
Thank you, Charlie. Attorney General Thornburgh, Dick;
Secretary Brady, Jim; Congressman Lindsay Thomas -- Bo Ginn.
It's a delight to be with you all, so near the Golden Isles of
Georgia.
((This is such a warm summer day, I think Charlie Rinkevich
should take you all over to Pam's. ))
((I also understand that there are some in these parts who
believe that the local mosquito -- actually a sand gnat -- is the
Georgia state bird
Not true
although I hear they're
big enough for skeet. ))
( (And speaking of your shooting range, I also hear that a
distinguished graduate of this institution, Shirley Temple Black,
soon to be our ambassador to Czechoslovakia, had an almost
perfect score. Four shots. Right on the target
and the
target was a picture of a tourist with a camera ( (PAUSE) )
Shirley is a great diplomat, but you might want to cancel your
trip to Prague this summer. ))

When you graduate from the Federal Law-Enforcement Training
Center, you will leave with the knowledge that you have already
confronted the hardest questions any peace officer must face.
You will have already been tested under fire.
You will know, from the Firearm Training Center, whether or
not you would shoot when you must shoot, and if you would hold
your fire when the apparent bank robber turns out to be a child
with a toy gun. You will know from "Hogan's Alley" just how fast
your reaction time really is. In short, you will have been tried
and tested, all of your reflexes -- physical, mental and moral.
When you return to duty -- whether your duty is at a Federal
Courthouse in Atlanta, the mountain hollows of West Virginia or
the city streets of New York, you will take with you a confidence
and a self-assurance that can only be earned, never bestowed.
You might guard a NASA rocket, a witness under the threat of
a murder contract, or a visiting Prime Minister. You might be a
member of U.S. Customs, the Secret Service, or practically any
federal agency. Or you might be a local or state law enforcer.
But wherever you are from, whatever you do, you wear a badge over
your heart -- a badge of service
a badge of honor.
((PAUSE))

This Center is dedicated to a special partnership between
every man and woman with a badge. The bulk of law enforcement is
provided by one partner, the states and localities -- those
closest to the streets and homes of America. The other partner,
the federal government, is best equipped to fight specialized
crimes -- from interdicting drugs on the high seas, to putting
prison stripes on high-rolling crooks in pinstripes. And the
federal government is adept at yet another task -- training.
That is why this Center is so well suited to this special
partnership.
The Center is renowned for its high-tech, state-of-the art
facilities, and many talented instructors. But it is more than
your ample resources and your excellent faculty that make Glynco
one of the most unique law-enforcement training facilities in the
world. It is also your singular and unwavering commitment to
fighting crime. You teach many agencies, but you are one academy
with one purpose -- to catch today's criminals with tomorrow's
methods, to lift the shadow of fear from America.
Here, investigators learn how to track down insurance or
telecommunications fraud, money laundering, or computer crimes.
Glynco's Financial Fraud Institute will allow agencies to keep up
with a boom industry -- the quiet larcenies of white-collar
crime.

Here, state law enforcers work with federal agents to learn
how to crack a drug ring.
Here, U.S. Ambassadors learn to recognize and avoid
terrorists. Investigators and regulators learn how to work
together to track down those who would poison our lakes and
rivers.
Nowhere else do law enforcers from so many agencies train
together. You may be a security officer from the State
Department or a U.S. Marshall. At this Center you learn that
there are many agencies that fight crime; but you are all members
of one team, the united forces of justice.
The Peace Officers Memorial here at Glynco is a somber
reminder of this shared cause
and shared sacrifice.
Thirty-nine names, thirty-nine slain federal officers
all
were graduates of this Center.
Among the names is one I know well -- Ariel Rios, a Special
Agent of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Ariel
graduated from the Center in March, 1979. And he was shot to
death while working undercover in South Florida in December,
1982.
5
Julie Cross, Special Agent, U.S. Secret Service -- her name
marks a poignant distinction. When she was killed in Los Angeles
in June, 1980, while working a criminal counterfeit
investigation, Julie became the first female Secret Service Agent
to die in the line of duty.
Sadly, these are not the only names of slain officers. Of
161 officers killed in the line of duty last year, 152 were state
or local officers. More than 1,500 law enforcement officers have
been killed in the past ten years. That is almost one death
almost every two days. One death for every two days.
Well, I am here today to deliver a message. I said it in
New York, after the murder of Special Agent Everett Hatcher. I
came here, to Georgia, to lay a wreath and to repeat a warning --
better that you had never been born than to attack one of
America's finest.
So I have also come here to send a message to Congress: we
can work together to protect those who protect us. ((PAUSE))
I have come here today to sign a transmittal, an official
message to Congress detailing our crime package. Usually, this
would entail nothing more than a quick flourish of the pen, and
then sending an aide on a ten-minute car ride down Pennsylvania
Avenue to Capitol Hill. But when it comes to fighting crime, you
6
deserve more than business as usual. That is why I have come
almost a thousand miles to the Center, to let you know we intend
to back you where it counts -- on the streets and in the
courtroom.
First, I call on Congress to do for dangerous firearms what
it has wisely done for dangerous drugs. I propose to double the
mandatory penalties for the use of semi-automatic weapons in
crimes involving violence or drugs. Those who use a semi-
automatic weapon in federal crimes -- or so much as have one
during the commission of a crime -- will do an automatic 10 years
in federal prison. There will be no excuses. No probation. And
no parole. Let's put the handcuffs on criminals, not on the
criminal justice system. ( (PAUSE) )
Secondly, we can't plea bargain away the lives of your loved
ones, the lives of fellow cops and kids. I have directed the
Attorney General to advise America's federal prosecutors to end
plea bargaining for violent federal firearms offenses. Our
message to the common criminal is this: Pack a gun and we'll
pack you away. ( (PAUSE))
Third, when a criminal commits a crime with a gun -- and
someone dies -- justice demands something in return -- the
ultimate penalty -- death. ((PAUSE)) I call on governors to
match this federal initiative and propose these same three
7
standards at home -- mandatory time, no deals without cooperation
and the death penalty.
Fourth -- At my direction, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco
and Firearms suspended the importation of certain assault
weapons. A-T-F is continuing its examination to determine which
-- if any -- of these weapons are not acceptable under the
standards in existing law. At the conclusion of this study --
and after careful consideration -- we will permanently ban any
imports that don't measure up to these standards.
Fifth -- Toward this same end, I am proposing the
prohibition of the importation and manufacture of gun magazines
of more than 15 rounds for citizens' use.
Finally, I am requesting funding for the hiring of 825 new
federal agents and staff -- 375 at Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms,
300 at the FBI and 150 new Deputy U.S. Marshals. These new law
enforcers should be matched by 1,600 new prosecutors and staff.
We are asking for an additional $1 billion -- over and above $500
million already slated for 1990 -- for federal prison
construction. This will mean 24,000 new beds to boost federal
prison capacity by nearly 80 percent.
8
In short, I am proposing more law enforcers to catch
criminals; more staff to prosecute them; and more prisons to keep
them off the streets. ( (PAUSE))
Glynco plays a major role in this war on crime. To say it
exists to "foster interagency cooperation" is a forgivable
understatement. It creates a bond between you and your
roommates, your classmates, your fellow officers of the law.
This is a bond that can be known only by those who put themselves
on the line every day in the service of a great cause.
In a country where criminals threaten to erode the very
liberties we hold so dear, you are domestic freedom fighters in
the war on crime. For this reason, you have a friend in the Oval
Office, and the gratitude and support of the American people.
Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.

of more than 15 rounds for citizens' use.
Finally, I am requesting funding for the hiring of 825 new
federal agents and staff -- 375 at Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms,
300 at the FBI and 150 new Deputy U.S. Marshals. These new law
enforcers should be matched by 1,600 new prosecutors and staff.
We are asking for an additional $1 billion -- over and above $500
million already slated for 1990 -- for federal prison
construction. This will mean 24,000 new beds to boost federal
prison capacity by nearly 80 percent.

In short, I am proposing more law enforcers to catch
criminals; more staff to prosecute them; and more prisons to keep
them off the streets. ((PAUSE))
Glynco plays a major role in this war on crime. To say it
exists to "foster interagency cooperation" is a forgivable
understatement. It creates a bond between you and your
roommates, your classmates, your fellow officers of the law.
This is a bond that can be known only by those who put themselves
on the line every day in the service of a great cause.
In a country where criminals threaten to erode the very
liberties we hold so dear, you are domestic freedom fighters in
the war on crime. For this reason, you have a friend in the Oval
Office, and the gratitude and support of the American people.
Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.

NATIONAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT MEMORIAL
The establishment of a National Law Enforce-
ment Memorial, honoring all Federal, State and
local law enforcement officers who die in the line
of duty, was authorized by Congress in October,
1984. Memorial development efforts are now
underway. More than 1,500 law enforcement of-
ficers have been killed in the past 10 years, one
death almost every two days.
This memorial will be a special tribute to that
sacrifice, and a living memorial to the 600,000 ac-
tive law enforcement officers who continue to risk
their lives on a daily basis.
The National Law Enforcement Officers'

The FLETC is an interagency facility, providing common training for officers and investigators
from 63 Federal organizations. Even so, the agencies' individual needs are met, and they still
maintain their own identity and esprit de corps, as evidenced by this group of U.S. Park Police

1987 HIGHLIGHTS
F
iscal Year 1987 was another busy one for the Federal Law
Enforcement Training Center. A significant milestone includ-
ed presenting approximately 250 programs for nearly 18,000
graduates. Throughout the year, the Center's energy is spent
teaching students, developing and evaluating courses and pro-
grams, maintaining the physical facilities, and a myriad of other
activities involved in operating Glynco and Marana. From the
multitude of these efforts, this annual report summarizes on-
ly the highlights.

This initiative was taken to underscore
with students the concept of cover,

tion for field confrontations.
Students attending basic training at
the Federal Law Enforcement Training
Center regularly receive training in
how to present effective courtroom
testimony. Mock Trials, based upon
supervised practical exercises, offer a
realistic opportunity to undergo direct
examination by prosecution and cross
examination by defense attorneys.
Critiques by the "judge" and attorneys
offer insight into each student's perfor-
mance. This year, the Center began
videotaping all Mock Trial testimony,
offering each student the opportunity
to view and evaluate their own court-
room performance.

Introduction to
Criminal Investigations
n September 1987, the Center con-
ducted a Curriculum Review Con-
ference for the Introduction to Criminal
Investigations Training Program
(ICITP). Representatives from twelve
organizations participated in the con-
ference and recommended several
program modifications.
The ICITP serves a common train-
ing need in several Federal agencies
for their non-criminal investigative per-
sonnel such as regulatory inspectors,
para-legals, auditors, technical person-
nel, and others. The program includes
introductory courses in procedures,
techniques, concerns, and problems
associated with a criminal investiga-
tion. The program is designed to
prepare non-investigative personnel to
assist in a criminal investigation, and
to provide more meaningful testimony
in criminal matters. It also helps them
to identify matters they should refer to
an investigative agency.

Student Fitness
Enhancements
A
S a residential facility, the Center
has responsibility for its students
24-hours a day, seven days a week.
The location of the Center at Glynco,
Georgia, is somewhat isolated from ur-
ban areas, and offers no local public
transportation. In addition, because
the majority of the students (64%) do
not have automobiles, it is essential
that Glynco provide students with
healthy opportunities for off-duty ac-
tivities. Many of these activities are
oriented to physical fitness. The
popularity of the organized and self-
directed programs was evidenced by
the fact that each of the Center's
almost 18,000 graduates participated
in an average of four recreational ac-
tivities during their stay at the Center.
To encourage participation and
awareness, the Student Recreation
Program has implemented a new
health and nutrition display center, a
2.1 mile exercise fitness course, and
an on-going aerobics program. Com-
bined, these programs realized an in-

Other traditional programs which
have proven to be highly successful
are quarterly road races which average
95 students per race, and golf tour-
naments averaging 64 participants per
tournament. Softball, Basketball, and
Volleyball have always generated the
most interest among students. In FY
87 these tournaments averaged 17

Computer-Related Activities
Financial Crime Investigations
Institute Planned
T
he Financial Crime Investigations
Institute (FCII) is a newly propos-
ed concept that will meet the special
training needs and develop expertise
for those agencies tasked with various
aspects of financial investigations. The
Treasury Department and the FLETC
have a vital interest in strengthening
the nation's law enforcement capability
to respond to the growing problem of
major financial crime. Glynco has,
therefore, committed resources to an
FCII initiative.
The FCII is intended to serve as a
focal point for future training program
development with special emphasis in
the investigative areas of insurance
fraud, money laundering, telecom-
munications fraud, computer-related
crime, contract and procurement
fraud, and other related financial (white
collar) schemes. Additionally, the in-
stitute is envisioned as becoming a
clearing house for training resources
literature and investigative equipment,
all made available to the law enforce-
ment community through an elaborate
and securely designed computer
network.
Computers will be an important part
of the FCII. The Center currently has
six fully equipped computer class-
rooms which will serve as the FCII
During his June visit to the Center, Commissioner of Internal Revenue Lawrence B. Gibbs (at

Computer and Economic Crime Division Chief Jim Meyers. The FCII is consistent with the in-
training. Besides conducting extensive

AIDS and the Law
Enforcement Officer
A
S recent events have demon-
strated, Acquired Immune Defi-
ciency Syndrome (AIDS) is a serious
medical condition, characterized by a
defect in a person's natural immunity
against disease, causing the AIDS vic-
tim to be at greater risk of developing
opportunistic infections or diseases.
The increasing incidences of AIDS has
a significant impact on the perfor-
mance of duties and the well being of
law enforcement officers.
Because of this, a task force was
established at Glynco to address two
questions. First, what can be done to
ensure that Center facilities and opera-
tions do not contribute to the spread
of AIDS; and, secondly, what can and
should be added to the training pro-
gram content to insure that students
learn how to properly protect them-
selves in law enforcement situations
where the AIDS virus may be present.
Even though there is no evidence of
AIDS being transmitted through casual
contact, the Center has taken
reasonable precautions to improve
protection against the spread of AIDS

a new central mechanical plant will
provide heating and cooling for the

a backup to an existing cooling plant
and provide additional cooling capacity
for the Center.
To enhance Glynco's security, a
new central alarm system was install-
ed which features the latest technology
in signal transmission and receipt. The
system consists of a micro-processor
providing rapid identification of the in-
truded area, which will enable faster
response time, more reliable signal
transmission during severe weather
conditions and is interfaced with near-
by police agencies for rapid assistance
if needed. It has a duress feature for
emergencies such as an officer down

weapons and controlled substances

Undertaken by the FLETC's Safety and Security Staff, a study was conducted in March and

CENTER INTERAGENCY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
G
lynco's interagency dimension is reinforced through the Center In-
teragency Advisory Committee (CIAC), comprised of the senior on-
site participating organization representatives and the FLETC Director and
Deputy. In their monthly meetings, CIAC members discuss and exchange
ideas about a variety of training and administrative issues. Having the
representatives so accessible is to the Center's advantage because of their
ability to provide critical input on alternatives and immediate answers to
questions regarding matters which affect their agencies. This forum
enhances communication and cooperation which is so vital to the smooth
sharing of resources and programs.
During May, senior Center and agency representatives participated in
a management development conference to discuss a range of issues. Its
"Partners in Training" theme generated a very constructive atmosphere,
and committees were formed to follow up on selected issues and
strengthen existing relationships.
