In November of 1991, in response to this problem the Bryan Police Department developed a special team to deal specifically with street drug dealers on a full time basis. Their goal is to totally eliminate street level drug dealing in our community. Since the implementation of S.C.A.T., we have seen a decline in our overall crime rate. Some streets, once infested by dealers, are now clear. Citizens who were afraid to even leave their homes are once again able to walk through their neighborhoods.
Children are safer going to and from school or playing in a neighborhood park.
But I certainly do not want to imply that the job is anywhere near complete. We still have much to do. The Bryan Police Department will continue to utilize S.C.A.T. and any other resources available to us. Additionally, we need your help. The only way we can all be successful in the total eradication of street level drug dealing is through the cooperation between our department and our citizens.
