Hartford Courant: Progress being made, but cops and alcohol still a deadly combination, expert says

An article in the Hartford Courant about police work and problem drinking interviews John Violanti, research associate professor of social and preventive medicine. "It's long been recognized that alcohol problems in police work are prevalent," he said. "Generally, it's social: it's done only with other police officers and there's no repercussions. But then you get the guy who can't control it anymore, and that's when the trouble starts."
