I think first, the preparation part, and second, I think we should take a minute and talk about Minnesota and what's transpiring there.

If that's okay, I'll kind of break that question up in two.

First, look, you know, we prepare all the time for emergencies, and whether it's an emergency because of a natural disaster, an emergency of

God forbid, a shooting or a terrorist incident.

And I've got a terrific team that is constantly preparing and I'm engaged in those tabletop exercises.

I think what's unique about now is we're literally doing tabletop exercises about what happens if the federal government sends in troops against our will.

And I mean, think about that for a minute.

That's what governor's

are being forced to grapple with.

That's what we're working through.

And obviously I'm not gonna get into the specifics of our plans.

I can assure the good people of Pennsylvania that we have plans and that we are prepared.

And we hope it doesn't come to that, but we know what we're doing here.

And I think what you're seeing play out in Minnesota with the horrific loss of life, and I mourn for her spouse and for her children.

I just mourn for the entire community that's having to deal with this trauma.

I think what is clear is that as a result of federal action, they eviscerated the trust that has existed in those communities, the kind of trust that exists between law enforcement here in Pennsylvania and the communities that they police.

And I think what's also true about what's happening in Minnesota, and I say this as the former chief law enforcement officer of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, former attorney general of Pennsylvania, is that by refusing to participate in the after action report, in the investigation that is so crucially needed,

in that community.

What they're doing is they're undermining trust and I believe they're undermining the rule of law.

Look, I've had to deal with investigations where law enforcement officials have pulled a trigger.
