And the operator doesn't have to state anything because we acknowledge that stating something may put them or others in jeopardy. voice-verified
Those are there for them. voice-verified
What we find when you pull over voice-verified
let's say it's a verbal altercation between two passengers. voice-verified
Those verbal altercations, and we've talked about fights that occur on the bus, a lot of those fights start with a verbal altercation that escalates. voice-verified
When an operator pulls over and opens the door and says, this bus is not moving till this altercation stops. voice-verified
What normally happens is the altercation stops and or one of the people exits the bus. voice-verified
And so again, that is a best practice, that is a standard protocol. voice-verified
Rather than allowing that altercation to continue stop after stop, you give an opportunity to break voice-verified
that cycle, if you will, that's going on and tends to escalate. voice-verified
But there are instances where that is not the appropriate thing to do and operators have those tools at their disposal to immediately have Lee and his team on scene to assist them. voice-verified
Historically we have not. voice-verified
And so as we talk about transit policing and how we work in collaboration, this is something that Lee and the CATS security team, Eric, has identified as another tool that will help us and CMPD, not just CATS, work together better. voice-verified
There are jurisdictional voice-verified
issues, and I'm not an attorney, so I don't want to get into all of the details, but there are jurisdictional issues that our employees, as well as CMPD, run into between the CATS properties and other off-property areas, and so this will help us better manage that. voice-verified
It will also give us better ability, specifically in the south end, voice-verified
to work and collaborate with CMPD along the rail trail and other areas that connect those platforms but are not specifically the platforms. voice-verified
We also have jurisdictional issues at bus stops. voice-verified
Those are, again, another area. voice-verified
So again, the mutual aid agreement, so let me say this, security is not one thing. voice-verified
