Alright.

Last for me is at the public safety, hearing, NYPD stated that it would be possible to budget over time at the precinct level, which would be helpful for us.
5:57:04
Would OMB commit to making that adjustment in the budget for the coming year?
Jacques Jiha

I would have to discuss this with with the NYPD because historically, we knew there were some, operational issues, okay, that basically prevent them from doing this.
5:57:20
But if they said they could do it, I will we will discuss with them to see, you know, if it is correct and if they could overcome those issues, and then we'll address it.

Okay.
