January 14, 2010 – This morning Narcotics Division filled the courtyard in front of the Pubic Administration Building for their formal inspection. It’s not often the men and women of Narcotics Division have the opportunity to get suited and booted in their class “A” uniforms but today they were shined from head to toe in blue and black.
Due to Narcotic Division being primary an undercover detail, many were not recognizable to other fellow officers since majority of them have not been clean 
shaven or have received haircuts in years but today marked a new day and a new look for many.
Chief Beck along with other command staff walked the many rows of detectives and officers inspecting approximately 250 uniformed personnel. Chief Beck laughed and briefly chatted with several rank and file during the inspection as he recognized many old partners and friends.
After 45 minutes of standing at attention, the large group gathered around the Chief to hear a brief but powerful speech. Chief Beck started out saying, “Thank you for the hard work you put in today, I appreciate what you do, I respect what you do and I am honored to be here today.” He continued by stating, “This is going to be a great year and I have the privilege to lead it.” The inspection ended with a group photo in front of the Public Administration Building.
