 Testing testing one two one two testing you guys can hear me. I can see you Good evening everyone and thank you for joining us for today's public safety briefing led by cheap chief operations officer for New York City's Office of Public Safety Justin Myers Following our last speaker. We will take a few questions from the media followed by some questions that have been submitted by the public ahead of Today's briefing. I would now like to turn it over to COO Myers Good evening everyone. As Derek said, my name is Justin Myers I'm the chief of operations for public safety in New York City led by deputy mayor Phil Banks And I'm joined here today by NYPD chief of patrol John Shell And John is here to talk about very a very interesting new technology that's being piloted in the police department And how it was used recently to help NYPD recover both the stolen vehicle and in another incident apprehended suspects safely and without incident We're also joined by Dept Department of Corrections Commissioner Louis Molina Who will be providing us with an update on the state of our correction facilities and some of the many improvements that the commissioner and his team have Implemented to ensure the safety of all individuals on Rikers Island during their tenure for the last year and a half and Last but not least we're joined by our taxi and limousine commission deputy commissioner for uniformed services Ira Goldapper who oversees the enforcement and safety operations for TLC Commissioner Goldapper will be giving folks at home a brief overview of what the uniformed services bureau does at the at TLC and Finally, he'll be highlighting a new safety campaign by TLC and the Department of Transportation To keep motorists and cyclists safe on our roadways here in New York City So first as I mentioned the new technology that we're looking at in the NYPD our first topic for today is How we're utilizing technology to improve public safety, which is of course a cornerstone of Mayor Eric Adams administration The mayor has made it very clear that he's going to be utilizing All the city's resources to be looking at emerging technologies both in the public safety sector as well as many other areas where we can improve efficiency throughout the government by leveraging technology The responsible use of technology is key to keeping our communities safe and preventing crime And the key word here is responsible. We're looking to adopt technology in a variety of different ways, but we're looking to do it in a We're looking to take do our due diligence in exploring what's out there Understanding it and figuring out whether or not it's the best use of our resources here in New York City to deploy that So the way we do that is a tremendous amount of research and then identify Potential technologies and then look to pilot those technologies to determine whether or not they can work in our environment the unique environment That is New York City. So over the last 16 months during the Adams administration The Office of Public Safety in conjunction with the NYPD FD&Y and a number of other agencies throughout The city government including the CTO's office the chief technology officers office We've been doing a tremendous amount of outreach Internationally nationally and across the state to other municipalities and companies throughout the world to identify and analyze the most advanced technological solutions that exist in the public safety sphere And as I mentioned, we need to know that those technologies can work here in New York City So when we identify certain technologies, we look to pilot them And as you may have seen a few weeks ago the mayor and police commissioner Kishan Tsuul Held the demonstration in Times Square to allow members of the public to see firsthand Three pieces of technology that are currently being tested out and evaluated One of those technologies is something called Star Chase Which is being used by the NYPD on a small scale as a 90-day pilot program right now That technology is essentially a GPS device that can be launched from a handheld device or an R a police vehicle And mounts to a suspects vehicle that may or may not be fleeing and then can that can be GPS tracked without incident So we have that in a couple of different areas I believe in the Bronx and Chief Shell if you could share a bit about some of the recent incidents that you've been able to deploy that And how effective it's been sure so just quickly Star Chase is a handheld launcher or a vehicle Mount launcher It's been around 10 years The company I said states is about the 1,000 vehicles recovered in the 10 years 85% success ratio and a million dollars in vehicles and contraband recovered We're using this because as we have an increase in what we call ghost cars right around our city We have an increase in stolen cars in the city So this device is used to for apprehent an apprehension tool But also to mitigate the risk to us and the public who who sometimes we have to pursue these vehicles in terms of Our success we've deployed it three times since we used it for the last three weeks One time was a miss on a highway and that was because of our fault because it's a pilot program The second time we got a hit on a stolen car that we recovered from Queens into the Bronx and the third time we had to pursue a car that was driving recklessly and It we deployed it again. We tracked the car into Nassau County and we recovered that vehicle So three deployments to successes and again, it's a pilot program we're using and we're very fairly confident We this should work well for us and again It's an apprehension tool but also a mitigation tool to limit some pursuits protect our cops and protect the public Thank you chief. I appreciate that The next up that we have is I'd like to talk about the Department of Corrections And we have commissioner of the Department of Corrections Lewis Molina here with us Commissioner Molina came into a tremendously difficult situation when he was appointed by the mayor last January Rikers Island in the state of the New York City Department of Corrections Has been a victim of compounded problems over many many decades and commissioner Molina was appointed 18 months ago to essentially be parachuted into that problem and try to chart a course forward with him and his team To address the many different multi-layered problems that were affecting Rikers Island in the corrections department Rikers Island has suffered from mismanagement and dysfunction for many years and it's known easy feet to turn the tide on those conditions And create a better environment for both folks who work there and of course people in custody however the commissioner and his leadership team have been constantly moving the ball forward and making Improvements and making the necessary systemic changes needed to move past this difficult time within the corrections department And I can honestly say that in nearly two decades of working in government it's I don't know that I've ever met anyone who is as committed to their mission and Honestly as effective as the manager in as difficult of an environment as you have and I've personally I've learned a lot getting an opportunity to work with you and watch the work you're doing with your team commissioner And I'm not sure that you know when in a time when there's so much negativity around the issues So much of the progress that you're making doesn't always get ink in the paper or notif People don't recognize how much progress has really been made So I want to give you an opportunity today to talk about the progress you and your team have been making at Rikers Island Thank you for the opportunity and the kind words and I think what's important to point out is just how we've been really rebuilding an agency With the support of the mayor as well as the support of the deputy mayor and the interagency task force We've been able to implement another of violent reduction strategies Not only to make the place safer for those that have to those that work for the Department of Corrections both uniform and non-uniform Staff but also those that are placed in our custody by the court Sentence of pretrial detainees to make sure that they're safe So I'd like to share some sort of in the violent indicators of where we are fiscal year-to-date Encounter year-to-date that I think are important for the public to know So fiscal year today We're about 10 months into the fiscal year and our slashing and stabbings with at the beginning of January 2022 Had reached very very high levels unprecedented levels at that time and fiscal year to date slashing and stabbings department Y are down 21% so that's 10 months into the fiscal year 23 Calendar year-to-date and I know we're only four months into the 2023 But calendar year-to-date we have seen acceleration in the reduction of slashing and stabbings department Y And that reduction has been 40 percent calendar year-to-date And as you know, we are um in court under federal consent judgment And the last time I was in court we had implemented an action plan And part of that action plan is to not only stabilize departmental operations But also to continue this reduction of violence the last time I was in court was in november We happen to be in court this afternoon and from that time period of november 2022 To present slashing and stabbings have gone down 34 So stuff is starting to take hold and it's starting to work Assaults on staff We had a number of staff that were assaulted on a regular basis in the prior administration And fiscal year-to-date we have reduced assault on staff by 40 percent And calendar year-to-date that reduction has been 18 percent And combined with that is holding those detainees accountable in partnership with the bronx da's office To make sure that would individual commit criminal acts of violence On another person in custody or on a staff member that that individual was re-arrested and the The bronx da I give a lot of thanks to them for partnering with us to make sure that that's done I think when we talk about the story of rikers island and the reduction of violence You can't speak about the beginning of that process without talking about the robin and daveron center Which is also known as rndc rndc when we came into office in january of 2022 Was the most violent facility on the island that facility is led by a dynamic warden warden walker So big thanks to her and her team What they were able to pull off and operationalizing a multi-prime violence reduction strategy To be able to reduce violence within rndc Which houses just over 400 of young adults age 18 to 21 And fiscal year-to-date slash and the staffings have been reduced their 63 And calendar year-to-date that reduction is 76 Those are huge swings not only engaging with those that are in custody The implementation of a partnership with our faith-based community Holding individual accountable and sticking to best practices and a lot of infrastructure improvement to replacing 850 cell doors at that facility and hundreds of Window proofing On top of plexiglass windows to make sure that those windows are now broken and turned into weapons that can hurt others In addition to that I would like to also share That absenteeism You know when we took over in january of 2022 we had upwards of over 2600 unique staff members out on any given day The department was on the brink of collapse There was no health organizational strategy for staff A lot of staff had survived a significant charm and not only of the mismanagement of the department But also dealing with that situation during a global pandemic Which was not only tough on new york city jails, but tough on jails and prisons throughout the country And what we did was we started to support staff We engaged in an organizational health strategy And we proactively engaged with staff on a daily basis at all levels from the first line supervisor all the way to the executive cabinet And what that has yielded today is an all a 70 reduction in staff absenteeism So to put that into context in any given day in january of 2022 We had upwards of over 2600 people out sick And today that number was about five hundred and sixty So significantly lower than where we were in january and having staff come back Not only allows us to provide level of stability Increased safety and security in our facilities, but allowed us to begin programming again educational and vocational programming and really institute in-person visits Now as of late we had in-person visits during the week And what we'd have been doing as we have stabilized operations beginning may 10th We are going to have in-person visits also available on saturday and sunday on the weekends So those so those families that want to visit their loved ones That happen to be just as involved and inspiring incarceration And they want to visit on saturday and sunday in person We'll be able to do that effective may 10th and there's no pre-registration that's going to be required to do that This is a big step forward to make sure that we keep community connections Happening with those that are in custody and making sure that we add another avenue for persons to visit with their loved ones In addition to maintaining on fridays our tele-visit program would allow Persons to visit with their loved ones from anywhere via a tele-visit video Visitation process. So we're excited. We've come a long way We recognize that we have a long way to go But what we've accomplished over the last 16 months Considering where we were has been a big step forward towards reforming and enhancing the city's jail system Thank you commissioner and you know, I think it's important to note that this is a a progress report not a mission Right, I mean it's a number of the things that you just listed off are incredibly impressive Accomplishments in when you look at a year and a half to have replaced 850 jail doors that weren't locking to reduce the number of people out sick by more than 2500 to less than 600 the the impact and the collateral impact that that has on an inmate's daily life Or on correction officers coming to work and then how that reverberates across the entire system is It's really hard to articulate particularly in a forum like this. How much of an impact that really does have Can you share it all about kind of You know moving forward your the future How you see things unfolding as you continue to make progress throughout the year Sure So I think you know one of the things that we've done and I've often talked about this is we've confused Infused a lot of outside correctional expertise into the department Not only at the executive cabinet level But also now at our facility levels and we recently appointed five assisted commissions to work as facility operations Over our facilities three of those individuals come with decades of experience outside of new york city And they're going to be leading three of our facilities So like you said, I think all of this is not only going to have a trickle down effect in the mentorship of our staff but in addition to being able to Have a rippling effect throughout the department that creates not only further stabilization But really keeps us on a pace of sustainable reform and enhancements of our city's jail system Excellent. Excellent. Thank you so much for that update commissioner And last but certainly not least We are joined by deputy commissioner ira goldapper who oversees the uniform services bureau in the city city's taxi and limousine commission And as I mentioned earlier ira is going to give us a look at what the bureau does to ensure that taxi drivers and other Vehicles for hire and their passengers are kept safe throughout new york city And then we're going to actually have a really great video really quickly today It's 30 seconds But it's a public service announcement that was created by tlc and the department of transportation And essentially what that video and what we're going to be unveiling here today is a public service campaign to Basically create a new learned behavior that here in new york city We talk a lot in the office of public safety about what is public safety? And of course when folks think of it we think the nypd maybe the fd and y department of corrections But public safety isn't just law enforcement. It's not just what government does It's what each of us individually do on a day-to-day basis that collectively Makes us safer as a community and as individuals And learned behavior has a big part of that right so, you know commissioner melina if if unfortunately knock on wood Your shirt were to catch on fire right now. What would you do? Oh, I remember my high school days you you stop drop and roll. That's right. That's exactly right and and chief shell if you were to Walk up to an intersection What would you do? I would stop and I would look both ways and check the signs That's exactly right and you know no one's born knowing either of those things right Those are learned behaviors that people teach us and collectively as a whole as a city of eight million people When we all know those rules And we follow them We are safer as individuals and we create safer roadways and safer streets And so this new campaign that tlc and the department of transportation Are running our our unveiling here today Aims to do just that is to arm the citizens of new york With a new learned behavior that ultimately will make them safer and individuals using our roadways safer as a whole So commissioner With that could you tell us a little bit about tlc and and the work you do in enforcement? And then we'll take a look at this video. Absolutely. Thank you coo mires And thank you for the opportunity to introduce taxi limousine commissions uniform services bureau or more commonly referred to as usp People are people also Are often surprised to hear that tlc has a law enforcement bureau So I truly appreciate this opportunity to give a brief overview of usp and what we've been up to usp is primarily made up of the safety and emissions division and the enforcement division We focus on cars and drivers The safety and emissions division Operates tlc's inspection facility where all tlc licensed vehicles such as taxi cabs and for higher vehicles the uber's and lifts Get inspected by dmv certified officers These vehicles must pass dmv safety and emissions requirements as well as additional tlc requirements before they may pick up passengers for hire to ensure that these vehicles are safe for the riding public Along with vehicle inspections Officers assigned to safety and emissions division inspect meter shops and the meters used in taxi cabs They review vehicle specifications to determine suitability for taxi cabs as well as wheelchair accessible vehicles Test and evaluate new vehicle technologies used in taxi cabs and for hire vehicles Just this past calendar year officers and safety and emissions conducted nearly 112,000 inspections to ensure rider safety I'm incredibly proud of the work that they do While officers within the safety and emissions division are inspecting vehicles for rider safety Officers within usb's enforcement division are enforcing tlc's rules and new york vehicle and traffic laws to protect riders and the public at large Officers within the enforcement division patrol the city 24 hours a day seven days a week Enforcing the city's vision zero initiative. They patrol taxi stands at high volume locations and conduct operations to combat against unlawful passenger refusals As well as refusals to engage the taxi meters Their enforcement act activities are not limited to tlc licensees. These are peace officers who also enforce the Law with respect to unlicensed for hire activity That is individuals who are not licensed by the tlc unlawfully transporting passengers for hire This is incredibly dangerous to the public Aside from not having a tlc licensed vehicle inspected by tlc or the appropriate insurance These drivers have not undergone a tlc background check And oftentimes do not have a valid driver's license at all During this calendar year officers have issued over 1600 summonses related to unlicensed for hire activity alone Sees the number of vehicles and made numerous arrests Along with their regular enforcement duties Officers within the enforcement division regularly conduct joint operations with nypd at high visibility corridors for vision zero enforcement The port authority police department at airports and major transportation hubs for illegal for hire activity As well as the sheriff's department Just earlier this week enforcement officers worked with the sheriff's department the tri borough Excuse me the tri borough bridge and tunnel authority and other city agencies for a successful checkpoint operation at the queen's midtown tunnel To catch persistent violators who use fake license plates or ghost plates to evade the law When they are not inspecting vehicles or patrolling the city in our airports Officers assist with the city with traffic control and manage taxi queues at large scale events such as the macy's fourth of july celebration The new year's eve celebration and the u.s. Open to name a few TLC officers are always ready and available when the support when the city needs them These efforts make a difference combined with our education policy prosecution and licensing units usb helps create an environment in which per miles driven tlc licensees are the safest drivers in the city To provide services and education to drivers in the public usb takes part in tlc's mobile outreach unit van halen A terrific program inspired by mayor adam's initiative to improve customer service Which allows tlc licensees to perform a variety of transactions that would otherwise require them To visit tlc's offices. You can stop by our next van halen event tomorrow at 130 avenue c Where we'll be there from 10 a.m. To 3 p.m. For the spring fling street fair with nypd and others I also want to mention our latest safety initiative to raise awareness of the deadly practice of dooring That is opening a car door without first checking to see if a bicyclist is approaching Partnering with the department of transportation and the mayor's office of media and entertainment We have created the do the new york twist campaign To raise awareness of how a simple little upper body twist to reach for the door handle with your far hand can save lives I'd like to take this opportunity to share this fun psa with you all and help get that message out The new york twist will save a life you twist one way to save your life Now twist again to save someone else's With your opposite hand reach towards the door twist your body to the window Look over your shoulder When it's clear open slowly and exit Again, this incredibly simple step can save lives and prevent unnecessary injuries. Thank you Thank you commissioner van halen and chubby checker. I don't think folks at home had any idea that the taxi and limousine commission was such a party That's great. That's a that's a really effective PSA and you know the message is very clear It doesn't take a lot to look over your left shoulder or your right shoulder Wherever the window is in the back of a vehicle and just check and see if there's a bicyclist coming down the road As you know, new york city has transformed dramatically over the last 10 and 15 years Devoting more space to bike lanes and encouraging folks to use Bikes and other modes of transportation outside of a traditional vehicle And as we make that transition we as a community as a society also have to make a transition in how we interact with that space And it doesn't take a lot. You just have to look over your shoulder and you could literally save someone's life Unfortunately pedestrian accidents do happen bicycle accidents do happen and they can be devastating Um, and it's all from just opening a door and if you just check before you do that You can literally save human lives right if this campaign catches on and people learn that behavior And everyone's doing this every day in new york city You will see a literal drop in the number of people who are injured severely or even lose their life Riding a bicycle here in this city So we're really urging folks at home to take this campaign seriously It's not a lot of effort take a look over your shoulder and save somebody's life So with that I'd like to kick this back over to Derek who can share some questions Thank you seeing as we have no hands raised in the chat We will go to the public question portion earlier this week The administration reached out to new yorkers asking them to submit questions for the officials that have joined us here today We will now get to as many of those as we can with the amount of time that we have left Our first question comes from stacey in brooklyn for the nypd and she asks How is the nypd working to stem the rash of automobile thefts and vandalism? So obviously we're we're using our technology much better Our plate reader cars our star chaser like we spoke about We also just added every priest in the city will will turn out extra autos with lpr readers to combat auto theft We're currently looking at our overall plan for autos in terms of investigations who's doing them where they're occurring Where are we recurring vehicles and we're building a better investigation apparatus for that? So like answer mentioned earlier our our stolen cars are up in the city and we're doing it We're trying to revamp what we're doing to combat that. So thank you stacey that question And do you see the future of star chase if the pilot goes well and the department opts to Um Leverage that technology or a similar type of technology. Do you see that having an impact long term in vehicle recoveries and stopping thefts like that? Absolutely, uh, first of all from this to crime prevention port of view if if the bad guy knows we have star chase out there Multiple cops have them multiple cars multiple boroughs. That's a game changer right there And the pilot program so far we're trying to use it and I think it will work well Because it'll allow us to recover autos Maybe grab the bad person doing this mitigate our risk to our committees to our cops doing chases and It's just the technology bringing us to a safer level to accomplish a task Our next question comes from graham in minhatten for commissioner melena. This is a two-parter Would commissioner melena discuss the changes to the duration of the academy training and the elimination of the college credit requirement Also Would he discuss the reasoning behind closing amkc and where doce will move the population? Sure. Um, graham. Thank you for your question. So the first question on the academy training I think first since poor for the public to understand that the minimum standards Are determined by new york state department of criminal justice services What are the minimum training hours needed in order to certify an individual to be a correction officer with peace officer standards um law enforcement powers and that standard is six weeks Our academy did an audit. Um, we brought in a deputy commissioner training and development who has over 30 years experience Not only managing law enforcement academy and instruction, but also in academia In addition to his assistant commissioner, um brings decades of experience in academia and law enforcement as well And when we did an order about academy Well, we determined was that it required us which is still double the amount of time that is required by the state Which is 12 weeks to do in-house academic academy training in order to prepare our correction officers properly To exceed the standards required by the state But in addition to that 12 weeks of academy training In addition, we give eight weeks of intense field training With senior field training officers that can be able to guide our new graduated recruits Working in our facilities. So when you think about the training of our correction officers We have pretty intense very involved skill development Training in our correction academy as well as our field training for a totality of 20 weeks of training Before someone is is released and still on probation to evaluate that training after they've graduated um, your second question regarding amkc Amkc is one of our our largest facility currently that's operating We have just under a just over 2000 persons in custody in amkc And amkc had similar in a like problems to rndc Where we had a number of locking mechanism challenges at that facility Now we had intended to replace all the doors in amkc But given the priority to make sure that we have cells that are optimal not only to keep people in custody safe But also the our uniform and non-uniform staff that work in amkc safe What we thought was a better action An immediacy to solve that issue was to reopen obcc Now currently obcc is not open But because there's nobody housed in obcc What that does is allow us to do minor infrastructure improvements within obcc For example, installing air conditioning Improving windows painting and other sort of things that we need to to get obcc functional We will be moving a majority of the persons in custody's out of amkc And into obcc and into other more functional facilities so that amkc can close down It is it is just outlive this shelf life to be a functional facility at this time Thank you Next question comes from jaleel in Manhattan for the tlc He asks how does the tlc work to improve the health and safety of taxi drivers? That's a great question. Thank you for that The health and safety of taxi drivers and all tlc licensees are a top priority for for the agency We've designated a specific unit to handle that the driver protection unit They provide assistance and guidance and as well as Direct licensees to resources that are made available throughout the city such as mental health consultation law and legal consultation Crime victim assistance and and many others I highly recommend you visit the The driver resources page on the tlc's website for more information about that Thank you Our next question comes from Vanessa in brooklyn Who asks what are you doing to alleviate the homeless issue on new york city subways? I'll pose this to coo meyers and possibly the nypd for follow-up. Yeah I'll have a chief shell join us, but um, you know I think well, I know that eric adams the mayor eric adams has made Our subways and the safety of our subway systems and the cleanliness of our subway systems a top priority of the administration He made that very clear in january when he took office last year And his actions and the actions of his administration Have underscored that commitment each step of the way over the last 16 months You know public safety is a lot of things as I mentioned before it's not it's not just police or fire it's A 21st century model of public safety looks at the city's entire resources and figures out different ways that we can deploy those resources to address the public safety challenges of our time and as our city has has grown and evolved and changed and what all of Its residents expectations are has grown and changed We as a government have to grow and change how we deploy those resources and how we address those problems And so the mayor took a very holistic approach to dealing with homelessness in the city that had really gotten out of control during previous administration and We did so by building together teams public safety teams that are made up of more than just traditional public safety agencies So our homeless outreach plan wasn't just ran out of or a homeless subway safety plan wasn't just ran out of public safety It was a cross portfolio plan that involved the deputy mayor for health and human services social services department of homeless services clinicians wraparound services from nonprofits organizations that provide Positionary housing job placement and of course mental health services and many other services that folks suffering from homelessness need and The mayor put these teams together and sent them out into the subway system Over the last year and a half every single night a team of nurses and clinicians And the nypd is there as well But instead of being the front the nypd is the secondary or tertiary They're there to provide security to the clinicians and the social workers who are down there working with these folks Trying to connect them with the services they need and we have done Literally hundreds over a hundred thousand interactions with homeless folks here in the city in the last year and a half placing thousands of them into housing and Connecting them with other services that they need to help address the challenges that they're facing in that moment and so it's a constant effort that is You'll see the results and we are seeing those results over time because every night these teams go out and they connect with 10 folks 20 folks 50 folks 100 folks night after night after night That number continues to grow and we get more folks into the services they need and that number in the subway system dwindles Chief director and and On the street our homeless task force Is a interagency task force with compassion to to help remove street encampments We go out 24 hours a day on each one of our shifts what our interagency partners. We identify encampments Uh, we give them an opportunity to move to other locations placements I would mental health services homeless services and this this year alone in the last year 13 months We've 6 000 homeless encampments we visited and we cleaned or placed All of the homeless so it's a compassionate approach. It's an interagency approach And we think we're seeing a difference and we will continue to do so Our next question comes from brian and brooklyn for the department of correction What is being i'm concerned about what i have read what is being done to prevent drugs from getting into jails Thank you brian for your question. So we've undertaken a number of strategies to mitigate drugs for coming into the jail One is we have increased our interdiction of mail A significant number of drugs are interdicted coming into the mail We have trained our canine dogs to be able to detect fentanyl Even if it's not mixed with another compound like cocaine or heroin or marijuana or even tobacco at times And what we've seen is uh in 2022 was about a 26 success rate in interdiction of drugs coming into the mail In addition to that we had increased tactical search operations and facility-led search operations in our facilities And that not only did we remove and recover over 5 000 contraband weapons from the facility But over 1300 contraband narcotics or narcotics paraphernalia from inside the facilities We've seen an increase in the arrest of visitors Bringing in contraband narcotics into the facilities and we work with the da's office to prosecute those individuals That attempt to do that and we arrest those individuals in addition to deploying body scanning Initially at our robert endaverant center has body scanning for all persons that are entering the facility And if an anomaly is detected then that person is sent for secondary screening To ensure that contraband narcotics or any other type of contraband is not coming in So it's not any one strategy that we employ to mitigate against narcotics coming into the facilities It's a number of different strategies so that we can lessen dangerous narcotics and other contraband narcotics from coming into the facility Thank you our final question comes from kelly in brooklyn In what ways can nypd work more closely with new york city parks enforcement to ensure public safety in parks property? Great question So upcoming once a year for the summer months. We have our uh, a big meeting with all the park supervisors citywide And just starting next starting monday Our youth courting courting officers our y shows as we call them Are transitioning to a later tour where they can do two things They can still focus on school dismissal and when the school dismissal is safely done They will transition to local parks where we might have issues or parks that need supervision So great question Uh timing is perfect and this is what we're doing with parks That's just some of the things we do parks, but that's that'll be the main focus starting on monday On behalf of the adams administration. I would like to thank everyone for tuning in to today's briefing We look forward to seeing you all at our next one. Have a great day
