My name is Jan.

Thank you for the opportunity to speak.

It's heartwarming to hear about the progress that's been made in preventing unjust arrest and unjust conviction.
2:30:13
However, some of the agreements and rules and changes in policy towards police practice and DA practice have resulted in more crime.
2:30:23
And as you so so skillfully and and convinciingly said Mister Salem, convicting people who really do crimes and preventing crime is the other side of keeping people who are wrongfully convicted, not convicted.
2:30:44
I ask of the committee members at this this time of threat to the Jewish community to pursue and protect public safety, allow the NYPD to enforce existing laws.
2:30:58
Enough is enough.
2:30:59
There have to be consequences for breaking the law.
