Sheriff Mark Lamb

You did it right.

We're with you.

And so that took us a few years.

And then the community, they started getting on board pretty much right away with the Live PD.

And since then, we've just continued to build on it.

I look at it as like a bank account.

In law enforcement, you can make deposits.

That's your good stuff you do, your little videos.

You're saving a dog, pulling a cat out of a tree, saving somebody from a fentanyl overdose.

Those are the little deposits.

because the withdrawals will come, and the withdrawals are heavy.

You take it like what happened in Minnesota in 2020.

If they would have had a better bank account, that withdrawal would have probably not hurt as bad, but it ended up not only hurting them, it hurt the rest of the country in law enforcement.

And so what we've always believed in is you've got to build your bank account of trust with your community, small deposits, constantly.

And when the big things come, it's okay.

You've got enough to cover it.

Your community trusts you enough to know that that's a one-off.

That's not normal.

But that started years before with us making those small deposits.

Crime-wise, there was still the border.
