CRIME
A Sad Day for Detroit's Finest
</hdr><body>
<p> When Detroit police chief William Hart and his former deputy
were indicted last February for stealing $2.6 million from the
city, it seemed that the troubled department had nowhere to go
but up. Wrong. Last week, after an eight-month FBI
investigation, 11 current and former police officers and five
civilians were charged in a scheme to provide protection for
drug dealers and money launderers. Among those arrested: Mayor
Coleman Young's niece Cathy Volsan-Curry and her father, Willie
Clyde Volsan Jr. The pair allegedly introduced the cops to
undercover FBI agents posing as drug dealers.
</p>
<p> The FBI, which videotaped the sting operation, claims that
police officers protected seven air shipments of cocaine and
laundered money, besides escorting the fake drug dealers around
Detroit in police cars. "This is a sad day," said police chief
Stanley Knox. "It's only a few people, but it's going to hurt
everybody."
