STATEMENTS ON INTRODUCED 

BILLS AND JOINT RESOLUTIONS 

By Mr. KOHL (for himself, Mrs. 

FEINSTEIN, Mr. LEAHY, Mr. 

REID, Mr. SCHUMER, Mr. DURBIN, Mr. DODD, Mr. LAUTENBERG, Mrs. BOXER, Ms. 

STABENOW, Mr. KERRY, and Mr.

S. 167. A bill to amend the Omnibus 

Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 

1968 to enhance the COPS ON THE 

BEAT grant program, and for other 

purposes; to the Committee on the Judiciary. 

Mr. KOHL. Mr. President, I rise 

today with Senators FEINSTEIN, LEAHY, 

REID, and others to introduce the COPS 

Improvement Act of 2009. This legislation would reauthorize one of the Department of Justice’s most successful 

efforts to fight crime, the Community 

Oriented Policing Services, COPS, program. 

The success story of the COPS program has been told many times, but it 

is worth repeating. The goal in 1994 was 

to put an additional 100,000 cops on the 

beat. Over the next 5 years, from 1995
