Well, so let me answer that.
As PSS has become our sole provider, they have consistently increased staffing.
and changed approach to how they're conducting security activities throughout transit.
As we have executed the additional, the agreement with CMPD to bring in an additional 800 hours, all of those things are working together to create a stronger visual presence throughout the system, including on the blue line.
So that is continuously increasing
As we move forward, last week, as we said, again, a visual presence, a significant increase of 800 hours with CMPD.
But just last week, PSS was able to hire and bring in new people as well.
So that is continuing to increase and we acknowledge that there is more to do and we will continue to increase visual presence throughout the system as well as increase fare enforcement activities and all of that will work together.
Again, we mentioned last week
deployment of a bike unit for PSS, as well as deployment of UTVs to give them more mobility in certain areas of the system, specifically along the rail trail.
So all of those things are in works and being deployed over the next few weeks with bikes and UTVs, as well as continued hiring and the additional CMPD presence.
be
Yes.
So for the CMPD officers, it's across all shifts during all parts of the day.
the service day for us, which is approximately 20 hours.
Um, and so it is across all parts of the day, all days, all seven days a week, um, related to deployment of, of PSS personnel.
again they're looking at the data they're looking at quote-unquote hot spots and they're also looking at the districts and the needs of each of the districts that constitute specifically to the blue line that constitute the different areas that the blue line covers north south central those things because the needs or the rhythm if you will of those different
areas of the blue line are different and so it's it's trying to pair the right uh response with the needs of each of the areas
Well, I hate to predict the future.
But I feel reasonably confident that if an authority is created and the transit is under a transit authority, there will be an independent transit police department.
