NoJARD OF MERIT, LT. BTI ,T ~ KTI:iG
In October of 1976 the Santa Monica Police Deparbnent began work
on a federal grant of $135,000 to study the Management of Criminal
Investigations (MeI). The purpose of this study was to stream-
line the investigative technique 1.n order to more efficiently pro-
secute those persons responsible for crimes CllllllJ.tte::1 within our
city.
Lt. Billy King was placed in charge of the MeI program fran its
onset. He was responsible for the grant application, the budget,
the establishment of guidelines and policy as well as the imple-
mentation of the program and of the written SlDlII1ary.
It is nw pleasure to state that the Santa Monica portion of this
study is considered to be of outstarrling quality. I am sure that
our research will not only have an irrFact on our department but
will be of national significance as well.
'Ihe success of this program has been due to the talents, de:1ica-
tion and perseverance of Lt. Ki.ng. Because of his efforts on
behalf of the Santa Monica Police Department, he will be awarded
the Me:1al of Merit at the City Council meeting on April 25, 1978.
