          WHEN ADEQUATE MONEY HAS BEEN GIVEN TO THE HAYS COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT FOR SAFETY EQUIPMENT. IN MY OPINION, THE SHERIFF IS PLAYING A HIGH STAKES GAME WITH COMMISSIONER'S COURT IN ORDER TO GET MORE MONEY. THERE ARE LIVES HANGING IN THE BALANCE. THERE IS A LADY WHO HAS BEEN IN COURT THE LAST FEW WEEKS THAT SAYS AMONG OTHER THINGS HERE HUSBAND IS WEARING AN OUT DATED BULLET PROOF VEST THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS. ALLOW ME TO GO OVER DISPURSE AMS THE SHERIFF OFFICE MADE IN THE LAST WEEK AND I WILL LET YOU DECIDE WHERE HIS PRIORITIES ARE. HOME DEPOT CREDIT SERVICES.

I HEAR A BUNCH OF SPEAKERS TALK ABOUT DEFUNDING OF THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. AS A FORM ARE OFFICER, DON'T BELIEVE THEM LIES. 
          [00:10:01]
I DRIVE UP THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE I DRIVE A BUS I DRIVE BY THERE. SEE THE NEW VEHICLES COME IN AND OUT AND THE VEHICLES OUT DRIVING THE CARS. AND -- THE ISSUE IS NOT THE FUNDING IT IS THE PRIORITY. THERE IS A GUY I BELIEVE TREGER. I SEE HIM DRIVE WITH A CAMERA. 
          HE GOT NEW VEHICLE. I DON'T KNOW WHEN PURVIEW IT WILL SWITCH OUT IF HE IS HANDLING ACCIDENT. BUT THE OTHER THING IS YOU GOT CAPTAIN CUMBERLAND LOOK AT HIS WASTE. ANYBODY COME IN WITH THAT EQUIPMENT A GUN AND SOME OF THE STUFF THAT IS NOT REQUIRED BY THE USER FORCE. WHEN YOU ARE THAT THE RELAXED OUT THERE AND YOU COME UP AND PORTRAY YOU WERE IN A WAR ZONE. YOU NEED TO LOOK AT THAT IF IT WAS A WAR ZONE LIKE I TELL THAT YOU IT IS, YOU WOULD NOT BE RUNG AROUND WITH A LITTLE GUN. 
          YOU ARE NOT READY FOR A SITUATION TO COME UP . THOSE ARE THINGS YOU NEED TO LOOK AT WHILE THEY COME UP AND LOYAL.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> JUDGE BECERRA I WATCHED YOUR VIDEO YOU PUSHED ON SOCIAL MEDIA WHERE YOU ACCUSED THE GOOD OLE BOYS OF FEAR AMONGERING WHEN YOU THURSDAY WE WERE FOR DEFUNDING THE POLICE. YOU GO AND SAY THAT THIS WAS UNTRUE. YET ON JULY 28TH YOUR PROPOSAL BUDGET FOR PATROL WAS ZERO. 
          IT WAS THEN THAT YOU PUT THE SHERIFF'S HOODWINKS BETTER KNOWN AS CONCERNED CITIZENS VOICED CONCERNS ABOUT YOUR BUDGET. THANKFUL LOW, THIS BUDGET WAS NOT ADOPTED BUT DISCUSSED THROUGH THE BUDGET WORKSHOP PROCESS. THE OUTCOME WAS THE LAW ENFORCEMENT WOULD RECEIVE FUNDS. I NOTICE THAT THE END OF YOUR VIDEO, JUDGE BECARE AWE TOOK COMPLETE CREDIT REFERRING TO IT AS YOUR BUDGET. I BELIEVE THAT THIS BUDGET WAS THE RESULT OF HARD WORKING DONE BY OUR COMMISSIONERS. COMMISSIONERS.

          IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT OUR COUNTRY ISSUE COUNT AND HE STATE REPS NOU KNOW THAT HAYS COUNTY WILL NOT PUT UP WITH LAWLESSNESS AND FUNDING LAW ENFORCEMENT. WE MUST STOP ORGANIZATIONS 
          >>, JUDGE,URE AFFILIATED WITH THAT SEEKS TO TAKE AWAY FUNDS AND A PLOY THEM TO ENABLE CRIMINALS LIKE BRITTNEY WAS TALKING ABOUT, TO BE RELEASED FROM JAILS AND TO IMPMENT A FAILED SITE AND RELEASE POLICY THIS GIVES NO THOUGHT TO THE CONSIDERATION OF THE VICTIMS.

          I STARTED COMING TO COMMISSIONER'S COURT EARLIER IN SEPTEMBER BECAUSE OF THIS FIGHT. 
          AND THERE ARE WEIRD THINGS VISEEN AND HEARD HERE. THE GUY WHO LISTED THE SHERIFF'S EXPENSES FOR DRY CLEANING AND LODGING AND TODAY THE SAME TALKED ABOUT HOME DEPOT BUT THE SHERIFF DOES NOT RESPOND AND WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE EXPENSES BY SEVERAL OTHERS FOR THINGS THIS MIGHT BE DEEMED OF CONTEXT AND PROMOTE. THERE WAS THE WOMAN WHO STOCHL IN THE FROM TEXAS STATE DECLARING FEAR AND TERROR BEING IN THE SAME ROM WITH PEOPLE WITHOUT MASKS AT JUDGE BECERRA WAS ON THE BENCH WITHOUT A MASK AND A WOMAN WHO CAME IN AFTER HER BEING FEAR MONGERS THE PEOPLE FROM TEXAS STATE CLAIMED BE OVER WORKED THEY COULD NOT LEAVE CAMPUS TO VOTE. THEY HAVE BEEN LEAD TO THAN ALL THE GROWTH IS BECAUSE OF THEM AND TEXAS SAFE. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN TO DRIPPING SPRINGS. 
          THERE WERE SEVERAL PEOPLE IN HERE WHO DON'T DECLIR AFFIL AFFILIATIONS AND IN SUPPORT OF TAKING FUNDING AWAY FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT. 
          THE WORSE THING I HEARD YOU, LECTURING US ON ORDER IN THE COURT AND COMPLAINING DISRESPECTFUL AND DISRUPTIVE BANGING YOUR GAVEL SO LOUDLY MORE LOUD LOW THAN NECESSARY ENOUGH TO WAKE THE DEAD.

          YOU SAID YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO RESPOND YET YOU CHALLENGED HER IN OPEN COURT AND DID NOT GIVE HER A CHANCE TO RESPONSE YOU THROUGH SHADE ON HER NUMBERS READING FROM YOUR BUDGET AND TWHEN HE TRIED TO RESPOND TO WHAT YOU SAID YOU TOLD HER SHE WAS OUT OF TIME. 
          I BELIEVE YOU OWE HER 3 MORE MINUTES TO RESPONDED AND I DON'T THINK IT IS APPROPRIATE TO DISCREDIT HER HASHG REMARK IN OPEN COURT WOULD YOU HAVE HAD GIVING HER A CHANCE TO RESPONDED. WE COME FROM DIFFERENT WORLDS AND WE LIVE IN THE SAME WORLD I'M A JOURNALIST I WORKED AT MS NBC IN NEW YORK I LIVED IN NEW YORK AND CALIFORNIA AND I HAVE MOVED TO TEXAS 3 TIMES I FEEL LIKE AN HONORARY TEXAN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US IS I WOULD NOT CHANGE A THING HERE.

          NOT ONLY THEY ARE WORKING EVERY DAY THEY WORK AND WORK OVER TIME TRYING TO GET OUR DISPATCHERS 
          TRAINED AND EFFICIENT IN JOBS. HOW IS THIS GOING? >> GOING WELL BUT ON GOING. 
          [01:20:04]
IT IS NOT WE ARE NOT DONE. WE GOT EIGHT NEW POSITIONS IN JUNE. 
          SO ON TOP OF THE OPEN HAPPENINGS WE HAVE A FEW TO FILL. >> AND THEY00 EYE THINK WE NEED 
          A MOTION? >> SUBMIT. >> SECOND. 
          >> MOTION AND SECOND. AND -- COMMISSIONER INGALSBE? OKAY. 
          I WAS. JUST BECAUSE I KNOW THAT EVERYBODY RECEIVED AN E SXHAL A CALL FROM OUR TREASURER, YOU KNOW WE HAVE TWO NATURAL ALMOST PAGES OF EMPLOYEES THAT ARE IN THE SAME SITUATION. AND THERE ARE RECOMMENDATIONS YOU KNOW FOR THAT AND BEFORE I UPON EVEN HEARD BRITTNEY'S MESSAGE I WAS WONDERING ALSO. AND YOU CAN LET ME FINISH THIS WOULD MAY BE WORK FOR THESE 4 EMPLOYEES BUT. IF WE WERE TO EXTEND THE TIME TO THE END OF THE YEAR THAT EMPLOYEES CAN TAKE OFF. THAT WOULD HELP THE SITUATION? THAT WAS THE INITIAL REQUEST THAT WE THOUGHT ABOUT. MY CONCERN WITH THAT IS WE STILL HAVE SO MANY POSITIONS TO HIRE IN DISPATCH. WE'LL TAKE ANYTHING WE ARE APPRECIATIVE FOR ANYTHING IN REFERENCE TO THIS TIME. I CAN'T PROMISE WE'LL BE ABLE TO FWURN DOWN THEY WILL EARN IT NEXT YEAR WHILE THIS. IF THIS IS WHEN THE COURT WANTS TO DO THAT'S AN ABOUT THE EVERBENEFIT TO THE EMPLOYEES AND WE SUPPORT THIS FOR SURE F. WE BUY DOWN OFF THE BOOKS AND START FRESH AGAIN WITH THE NORMAL 8 TO 10, 12 HOURS. 
          >> EITHER WAY >> I APPRECIATE THAT. I JUST THEN AND THERE WE HAD THIS DISCUSSION BEFORE JUDGE IN COURT AND WE KNOW HOW FORTUNATE IS FOR EMPLOYEES TO TAKE TIME, ALTHOUGH WE THEN AND THERE IS NOT A NORMAL YEAR. IT HAS BEEN DIFFICULT FOR MANY OF OUR EMPLOYEES TO DO THAT. AND SO IT WAS JUST A CONSIDERATION. 
          >> I REMEMBER COMMISSIONER, LEFT TIME WE HAD THIS CONVERSATION YOU POINTED OUT. 
          WE ARE WORKING WITH NOT A DEPARTMENT BUT A THOUSAND EMPLOYEES. 
          I REMEMBER JERRY AND THE TRANSPORTATION AND ROAD PARTS HAVING SIMILAR CONCERNS AND ISSUES. AND WHAT WE DO YOU ARE RIGHT. IT AFFECTS ALL DEPARTMENTS. 
          AND SO -- I APPRECIATE THAT POINTING IT OUT. >> COMMISSIONER? 
          >> THIS SUSPECT ONE OF THE DEPARTMENTS I CAN SUPPORT THIS IS A VITAL THIS .  IS ONE DEPARTMENT WE CAN'T GO SHORT HANDED ON. AND THESE DISPATCHERS EARN STRESS. NORMAL TIMES BUT THROUGH COSXRID TRYING TO OPEN UP A NEW FACILITY ON TOP OF THAT. I WOULD FEEL BETTER US OFF AND CLEAN SLATE BECOME IN THE NEW 
          YEAR. >> COMMISSIONER? COMMENTS? 
          >> I SAY THAT LAST YEAR, WHEN WE DID THIS, THERE WAS AN ASSUMPTION THAT AFTER WE HAD THE PS B OPEN WIELD FULLY STAFF AND WOULD HAVE TO DO THIS AGAIN. AND I DMAP TO BE THE CASE. 
          ALONG WITH COMMISSIONER JONES I'M WILL -- YOU CAN'T PUT IN WORDS THE STRESS THIS JOB HAS ON -- AT THE ENDS OF THE DAY, I HOPE HAIF -- WE WANT TO DO SOMETHING FOR ALL EMPLOYEE IN THIS SITUATION WE HAVE OTHERS OUT THERE WHO ARE NOT TAKING THEIR VACATION BECAUSE THEY PHYSICALLY CAN'T. THEIR STAFFING NEEDS IN OFFICES WITH THE ELECTION AND TRANSACTION DICK TATD THEY DON'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY. I WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF EXTEND THANKSGIVING TIME TABLE. I SPOKE WITH BRITTNEY AS WELL AND HAVE A BETTER OVER VIEW OF HOW MANY OFFICE THERE IS ARE. I HAVE A FEELING AND I THEN AND THERE IS A UNIQUE SITUATION. 
          I WANT TO ENCOURAGE IF WE TAKE ACTION TODAY. THAT WE WOULD SEE THIS NEXT FISCAL YEAR. AND I DON'T KNOW THAT THIS IS A GUARANTEE YOU CAN MAKE THAT WOULD BE MY EXPECTATION. AND CAPTAIN MY INNERACTIONS WITH YOU HAVE BEEN POSITIVE. 
          I DO HAVE TO SHARE MY PERSPECTIVE. I, TOO SUPPORT THIS ASK. 
          BUT I WANT TO SEE AN END AS WELL BECAUSE -- THESE POSITIONS ARE VERY AS WE POINTED OUT. 
          VERY NECESSARY AND ESSENTIAL AND WITH THIS GOES VERY STRESSFUL. AND SO I MOO 9FEEL WE SHOULD 
          [01:25:04]
DOUBLE DOWN IN HOW WE CAN SUPPORT DEPARTMENTS SO THE STRESSFUL SPACE WHEREVER THEY MAY BE, GET THE FULL FEEL, SUPPORT FROM US AND AL KATH THE TIME AWFUL IT IS GIVING THEM THE EMOTION DISCONNECT TO BE ALL THEY CAN BE IN THAT VITAL SPACE. AND SO -- IF YOU WILL LIKE OUR COMMISSIONER SAID WE SUPPORT YOU BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T ACCIDENTALLY TRY TO BE USEFUL OVER RIDE SOME EMOTIONAL SUPPORT. FOR THE INDIVIDUAL IN THAT SPACE THAT IS STRESSFUL. I WOULD TAKE THIS TINY MOMENT TO DOUBLE DOWN ON PLEASE ASKING HAD YOU -- UPON WORK WITH EVERY AVENUE POSSIBLE TO ALLOW THE FOLKS INSTEAD OF THE PAY WE SEE AS A BENEFIT TO WEAVE IN THAT DECOMPRESSION POTENTIAL ROTATION OF THOUGHT PROCESS. 
          WHATEVER IT MAY BE CALLED DEPENDING ON THE SPACE, SO THEY HAVE LESS STRESS ON THE JOB AND 
          MORE FRUITFUL OF THEMSELVES AND THE COMMUNITY THEY SERVED >> THE COURT HAS BEEN SUPPORTIVE. WE REAUSHG JUSTED THEIR PAY AND THAT WAS LAST YEAR. 
          >> AND POSITIONS. THE THING I CAN SAY IS COMMISSIONERS, WE GOTTA LET IT WORK AND THAT TAKE TIME. YOU IMPLEMENTED THE THINGS TO GET US THERE NOW WE HAVE TO GET EMPLOYEE IN HIRE, TRAIN AND CONFIDENT TO SET BY THEMSELVES. YOU KNOW HOW TECHNICAL THE JOB IS. SO -- WE DO EVERYTHING WE CAN DO TO GET THEM THEIR TIME OFF THERE IS LIMITED NUMBERS NOW. THE NUMBERS I'M SHOWING EIGHT IN TRAINING IF THEY PASS TRAINING THAT IS HUGE.

          >> OKAY. >> COMMISSIONERS? >> HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE 10 
          YEAR TIME LINE? >> I THINK THAT ESPECIALLY FOR SOME OF OUR RURAL PARTS THE 10 YEAR PIECE IS IMPORTANT. BECAUSE WE SEE A LOT OF DIVISION OF PROPERTY WHERE THEY HAVE DIVIDE TODAY AND DID NOT REALIZE. AS WE GET FURTHER TO 2020 AND 2030 IT IS IN 1997 WHEN THIS WAS DONEFUL IT WAS HARDER TO GET THIS INFORMATION IN 2020 IT IS EASIER TO AM GET ONLINE, CALLING TO YOUS SEE WHAT PROPERTY. I'M NOT TELLING PEOPLE HOW TO DIVIDE THEIR PERMANENT. NOT WHAT I WANT TO GET IN THE BUSINESS OF. 
          IT NEEDS TO MEET OUR COMPLIANCE STANDARDS THIS 10 YEAR QUESTIONS OF LAW IFKDZ. 
          FAMILY EXEMPTIONS. 10 ACRES OR PLOTTED. I THINK WE COULD DEFINITE LOW LOOK INTO CREATING A HARDER DATE.

          THE HIGH POINTS I WILL HIT AND UP CAN ASK QUESTIONS THE HIGH POINT SYSTEM THAT THERE IS A NEW PAY PIECE THIS IS EXHIBITS ATO THE AGREEMENT. IT IS I THINK AT THE BACK OF THIS SECTION. INSTEAD OF INTGRIT INSTEAD AGREEMENT IIS IN THE BACK AND I BELIEVE IN COLOR YOU SEE THE PAY RANGES. UPON THIS WOULD BE IMPLEMENTED UNDER THE CONTRACT IN FEBRUARY OF 2021. THERE ARE ALSO A ADDITIONAL SOFT PAYS AND A FEW NEWARK SIGNMENT PACE. SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT PAYS IMPLEMENTS OCTOBER 21, 2021.

          AND WE DID THAT BECAUSE IN HAYS COUNTY WE THOUGHT THAT WAS SOMETHING WE WANTED ACHIEVE FOR PARODE. SINCE THEN, THERE HAVE BEEN COURT OPINIONS AND OTHER OPINIONS THIS HAVE CONFIRMED THIS CONSTABLES ARE PER OF THE BAUERINGING UNIT THEY HAVE THE 
          [02:00:02]
ABILITY, I THINK THE CURRENT JURIS PRUDENCE. BARGAINING SEPARATE LOW. 
          WE PHOTOGRAPHY HAVE IT ALL UNDERWENTED ONE OFFICER IN ONE BARGAINING SESSION IN HAYS AND EVERYBODY AGREED. WE HAVE BEEN INCLUDING THE CONSTABLES NOW THIS STATUTE

          >> IT WAS A REALLY GREATEST HONOR TO SERVE AS PART OF THE COUNTY'S COLLECTIVE BARGAINING TEAM AND WE HAD A GREAT GROUCH INDIVIDUALOS THE OTHER SIDE AND THEY WERE PLEASANT TO WORK WITH. 
          UNDERSTAND THEY UNDERSTOOD THE SITUATION WE ARE IN. YOU KNOW FINANCIAL LOW AND I JUST REALLY APPRECIATED THEIR WILLINGNESS TO WORK YOU KNOW THROUGH ALL OF THAT -- I THINK AS WAS MENTIONED MULTIPLE TIME THIS IS NEW PAY PIECE WILL ENABLE OUR DEPARTMENT -- I GUESS A BETTER HIRING PRACTICE AND KEEPING EMPLOYEES EMPLAYED WITH HAYS COUNTY BECAUSE OF THE CHANGES THAT WE MADE WHICH IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE WANT TO KEEP THOSE DEPUTIES AND OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL, KEEP SPENT TIME TRAINING THEM. WE WANT THEM TO KNOW THIS WE CARE AND THAT WE ARE WILLING TO PAY THEM WHAT WE BELIEVE THEY ARE WORTH AND I THINK THAT THIS -- THIS -- PLAN IS TARGETED THAT. AND SO -- I IRRELEVANT WANT TO SAY THAT I APPRECIATED THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE ON THAT TEAM.

KENNEDY GAVE US GOOD UPDATES AND I FELT INFORM HAPPENED AND WANT TO THANK MY COURT MEMBERS FOR DOING THE JOB THEY DID BECAUSE, FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN I BROUGHT UP INCLUDING SOFT PAY ITEMS. IT IS IMPORTANT THIS WE SUPPORT THE FRONT LINE IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE AND -- AS WE DISCUSSED THE VACATION PAY IT IS IMPORTANT THIS BECAUSE WE ARE ON THIS AGENDA ITEM THAT WE SUPPORT THE FRONTLINE. NOT JUST WILLY-NILLY BUT THE PERSON. 
          IT IS A STRESSFUL JOB. INDIVIDUALS DO IMPORTANT WORK AND IN CHARGE WITH SO MUCH. 
          AS WE UNFOLD THE NEW AGREEMENTS THAT WE HAVE FUNDED THAT WE DON'T OVER LOOK THE NEED TO HELP THEM ROTATE TO DECOMPRESS. TO GET ALL THE SUPPORT THAT EXISTS BECAUSE THEY REPRESENT US IN SO MANY WAYS WEARING SO MANY HATS THAT -- THE STRESS LEVELS COULD AND DO OFTEN LEAD TO FATIGUE. AND OTHER THINGS. I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE SUPPORTING THEM NOT ONLY WITH THIS GREAT AGREEMENT BUT ON THE DAILY I SUPPORTING THEM IN WAYS THAT WE WILL SHOW I GUESS, PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT OR WE HAVE HR HERE STILL.

          THANK YOU. >> LIKE TO THANK THE STAFF, OUR GENERAL COUNCIL'S OFFICE SPENDSESA, LOT OF TIME ON THIS THIS WAS THE MY THIRD OR FOURTH COUNT THE MID ROUND OF THE LAST ONE. AND WE HAVE AMAZING TEAM ON BOTH SIDES AND I APPRECIATE ALL THE OFFICERS THAT PARTICIPATED FROM THE HAYS COUNTY LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSOCIATION. 
          AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE COMBINED LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSOCIATIONS OF TEXAS THEY DO AN AMAZING JOB THIS GUESS SO SMOOTH BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND WE ARE THERE TOGETHER AND ON THE SAME TEAM WE DON'T LOOK AT YOURSELF AS ADD VARIES WE LOOK AT YOURSELF AS TEAMMATE THIS IS STRIKES A BALANCE OF ACOUNSELABILITY AND UNDERSTANDING THAT WE HAVE TO FUND OR OFFICERS TO BUILD RECRUIT SPECIAL RETAIN OFFICERS AND I'M CONFIDENT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT THIS AGREEMENT WILL,LLOW US TO MOVE ALONG THE DIRECTIONS AND OUR CURRENT OFFICERS APPRECIATE THAT THEY WANT THE 1S THAT ARE HIRED AFTER THEM TO BE GOOD OFFICERS AS WELL AND WANT TO BE SAFE ON THE STREETS AND FRO VIED THE SAFETY THEIR JOB REQUIRES THAT IS THE REASON WE GET ALONG WELL WHEN WE DO THESE BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND THERE IS BALANCE BETWEEN THOSE THINGS AND THIS PROVIDES THAT LEVEL OF ACOUNSELABILITY THAT IS NECESSARY. 
          BIUNDERSTANDS LIKE WE HAVE MENTIONED THE RISKS THEY ARE TAKE ANDING WHAT IS REQUIREED 
          THEM TO DO THAT J.W. >> OFFICERS TODAY ARE ASKED TO DO MANY THINGS MORE THINGS THAN IN THE PAST AND IT -- WHEN WE STARTED THIS, THIS PROCESS. IT WAS A FEW DAYS AFTER OFFICER PUTNAM WAS KILLED AT THE SAN MARCUS POLICE DEPARTMENT. A LOT HAS HAPPENED SINCE. 
          WORLD HAS BEEN VERY INTERESTING PLACE. THIS COUNTRY CHALLENGED WITH MANY CHILDREN AND WILLS THROUGHOUT THAT WE ALL KEPT IN MIND WHEN WE WERE THERE FOR TO MAKE SURE ZEE BEST OFFICERS ON THE STREETS. THIS HELPS US DO THAT. 
          I MENTIONED TO THE TEAM, THOUGH I THANK YOU OUR LAST MEETING THE AMBUSH THAT HAPPENS IN DALLAS POLICE OFFICERS AND RAPID TRANSITERS A FEW YEARS AGO NOW. AFTER THAT, ONE OF THE CHIEFS I DON'T KNOW THE DART OR CITY OF DALLAS POLICE CHIEF OF COURSE THEY MADE STATEMENTS WHAT WAS ASKED OF OFFICERS. AND IT HAS CHANGED OUR ROCHES WEAR BODY CAMERAS AND TRAINED AT A LEVEL WE ARE PROWL. WE OPERATE OUR OWN TRAINING ACADEMY OUR SHERIFF OFFICE RUNS IT AND SELECT AND TRAIN AND KNOW WHAT THEY GOT BY THE TIME THEY GET OUT OF THAT ACADEMY AND I THINK WE NEED TO KEEP IN MIND WHAT THEY ARE ASKED TO DO MENTAL HEALTH OCCURRENCE WE TALKED ABOUT ARE OUR OFFICEROS ON THE FRONT CLOO SPIN WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY ISSUE PROPER LOW TRAIND AND PROTECT OUR COMMUNITY. I THINK -- WHEN WE APPROVE THE PAY INCREASES THAT WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE GIVING US AN ABILITY TO HIRE AND MAINTAIN THE HIGH LEVEL OFFICERS THAT TRULY CARE ABOUT WHEN THEY ARE DOING. THEY EXHIBIT THAT. 
          WE HAVE REALLY GREAT OFFICERS FROM NOT JUST THE SHOULD HAVE BEEN'S OFFICE AND DEPUTIES BUT CORRECTION ANDS CONSTABLES, TOO, AND WE ARE ASKING MUCH OF THEM AND THEY ARE WILLING TO STEP UP AND I TRULY BELIEVE THEY AS WELL ALL OF OUR INTERESTS IN TH HEARTS AND I'M PREERNLTIVE OF
