secretary napolitano has just given the green light to the pilot program. the similarity between the fighting crime successfully and fighting a new type of crime, terrorism -- most of the ideas that came about in the 1990's when we finally got a handle on fighting traditional crime in the united states, came from local police. they did not come from federal government or federal agencies. they helped to promulgated nationally, but most of the ideas came from local police stations dealing with local issues. similarly, if we are going to put an emphasis on home town and security concerns, we have to give the people in those home towns away to percolate their ideas up the ladder. that is a function of homeland security to look at these things, pilot them, test them out, and then if they think it will work, puts them ahead. >> one thing you did when you angeles was to beat up your intelligent unit considerably -- beef up your intelligence unit considerably. tell me about that. -p>> when i returned to policing in los angeles, it was 2002, post-9/11. i do not thi
