WASHINGTON Lawmakers expressed frustration Tuesday with how slowly improvements are being made to criminal investigation at Fort Hood, Texas, where rates of violent crime and sexual assaults are particularly high.
They grilled the commander of the Army s Criminal Investigation Command, or CID, who said she is seizing this moment to correct the staffing and resource problems within her agency that led to sweeping failures in tracking and solving cases. We can and we will do better, Maj. Gen. Donna Martin told the House Armed Services subcommittee on military personnel. She said the Army is working to restructure and modernize CID, and is considering adding more civilian investigators and creating special teams that could respond to major criminal cases when needed at any base.
