<br />
<br /> The Portsmouth Police Department's implementation of this difficult program is to be
<br />commended. Chief Boone has provided the type of energy, enthusiasm and leadership that is
<br />producing effective, tangible results.
<br />
<br /> Portsmouth is one of thejjewels of this national program. Portsmouth has demonstrated
<br />that law enforcement can get it's act ~ogether and can do better things in law enforcement.
<br />When you consider that 40 police agencies representing 9,500,000 people and 24,000 police
<br />officers are now involved in ICAP, that is saying a good deal.
<br />
<br /> As Program Manager for this program, I have ~.een its birth and growth. I have had good
<br />and bad moments with ICAP, but one of my proudqst was when Portsmouth's Sgt~ Rick Gaddis was
<br />named Police Officer of~ the Year. When an ICAP project director can attract that honor, I
<br />know ICAP has it made.
<br />

<br />Division, Office of Criminal Justice Programs"
