I think that number is a little bit deceptive in that what they are doing is literally day-to-day coordinating on-site. voice-verified

Now, I don't want you to take away that there are two CMPD officers in the whole city who assist us. voice-verified

There's an entire police force who does that. voice-verified

In fact, Saturday after this voice-verified

assigned to cats. voice-verified

Not specifically assigned to CATS, but collaborating with CATS actively throughout the districts in the system. voice-verified

Specifically, as a good example, Saturday after this tragic event, I was on the phone with Chief Jennings and we were coordinating how PSS and CMPD could work together as we increased presence. voice-verified

Yes, these are two assigned officers, but I would never want to give the impression that we don't work hand-in-hand throughout the city with CMPD because we absolutely do and their officers are always there to assist, back us up, and likewise, and the mutual aid agreement helps move that collaboration and partnership forward even more. voice-verified

I will also say and one thing that Lee has done very well is voice-verified

He has divided the system into districts just like CMPD divides the city into precincts. voice-verified

And we analyze the data to understand the unique needs of each district to place security personnel voice-verified

who is focused on those needs in each district. voice-verified

And certainly the needs of uptown are not necessarily the same needs as South End or the Northern District. voice-verified
