Because if we can build and develop relationships with kids, especially kids who are at risk, and keep those relationships going, maybe it's less likely they spiral into the system. Then we look at the work that we do while we have people in our custody. The age-old choice is they can sit here and do their time, and then we let them out, and we've met our responsibility.

But we know that doesn't make us safe. So we look at the work that we do here is to try to figure out individually, what does each person need? Do they need education? Do they need vocational training? Do they need medical and mental health services? Do they need addiction treatment? Do they need a combination of all of those things? And we start that work the day they walk in the door here.

And then the third place that we are trying to impact public safety is when people are released. So actually just last Friday, we opened, it's called the Bridge Center. Understanding that the most consequential thing that we do at the sheriff's office is let someone out. Because that is the place where they're either going to move into the positive territory or revert back to negative behavior.

And there's a victim. There's victims. There's harm that results if people revert back to negative behavior. So we have to figure out how to support people post-release, from the minute they walk out the door, when they are at their most vulnerable. And our community is at its most vulnerable when someone is released.

So the Bridge Center is a one-stop shop, an opportunity for us to tie together all of the amazing resources that exist in our community. All that the person being released needs to know is they need to go one place. Do they need help with a job? Do they need help with housing? Do they need food? Do they need transportation? Do they need mentors? Do they need to go to a meeting?

Do they need a support group? And there's community partners who have been knocking on our door wanting to work with us in this space. Now we have actually a physical facility that brings all of this together. It's impossible for someone like me to navigate all of the services that we have. I don't know about all of them.

Imagine if you're the person getting out of jail who doesn't many times append it to your name, may not even have a ride. That's all the work we try to do while people are here, but you've got to sustain it.
