Honorable Edward I. Koch
House of Representatives
Washington, D. C. 20515
Dear Mr. Koch:
This is in response to your letter to Mr. Helms of 28 December'1972,
regarding a New York Times story describing some briefings which the
Central Intelligence Agency has provided to the New York Police Department,
and to your request during our telephone conversation on the same subject,
on 23 January 1973.
Regarding the first question in your letter, I do not have a precise
figure but I can assure you tl~s.t less than fifty police officers all told, from
a total of about a dozen city and county police forces have roceived some
hind of. Agency briefing within the past two. years.
These briefings have covered a variety of subjects such as the
procedures for the processing, analyzing, filing and retrieving information,
security devices and procedures, and metal and explosives detection
techniques.
These briefings have been provided at no cost to the recipients.
Since they have been accomplished merely by making available, insofar as
their other duties permit, qualified Agency experts and instructors the
cost to the Agency is minimal.
All of these briefings have been conducted in response to the -r.cquests
of the various recipients. The Agency intends to contilue to respond to such
requests on matters within its competence and authority, and to the extent
possible without interfering with its primary mission.
