I can just I could address some of the other that you mentioned there.
0:56:24
So first off, I I wanna say, I do appreciate the frustration that you expressed with respect to some of the handling, with regard to the intent you'd asked if we could take a look at the scenarios you described.
0:56:36
Happy to do that.
0:56:37
We go back to our agencies.
0:56:38
I will go back to the process just to reiterate it because I feel like I left you in a in a loop there, as you said.
0:56:44
And I'll just reiterate, the steps are you submit it through the app That's instantaneous.
0:56:50
That service request goes to the agency.
0:56:53
Any subsequent updates the agency initiates, And once they update that, that is available by checking the status.
0:56:59
So that can be on the app, that can be mobile, you could I'm sorry, a website or you could call.
0:57:04
So that process does exist.
0:57:07
And I think the other
Robert Holden

0:57:12
I'll I'll get message is from the police that they can't see what I sent.
0:57:16
It's from some officers.
0:57:18
I don't know if that's true, but I'd like to actually see on there their devices, what when I put something in, what actually do they see?
0:57:26
Because I'll I'll I get information from certain agencies.
0:57:29
They didn't see a photograph.
0:57:30
When I sent 2 or 3.
0:57:32
I said,
Joe Morrisroe
0:57:33
yeah, I can say from the front end side where 311 is responsible for the intake and the transmission of that, If you think about what's on the app and what you filled out, that's the information that's available to the agency.
Robert Holden
