The discussion focuses on clarifying the transition of disposal responsibilities for seized materials from the Sheriff's Office to the NYPD. Sheriff Miranda provides information on the current status and previous arrangements.
- NYPD has recently negotiated a contract for handling the disposal process
- Previously, the Sheriff's Office had a local contractor who facilitated the process
- The ultimate destination for destruction was still Ohio in the past
- The Sheriff's Office is also in the process of negotiating their own contract
- There's some confusion about the timeline and details of these transitions
Anthony Miranda

That information is available.
1:04:43
Councilwoman, I just don't have it here.
1:04:45
I'll be sure to communicate with the New York City Police Department because they're the ones who recently negotiated the contract.
Gale A. Brewer
1:04:49
Okay.
Anthony Miranda
1:04:50
And we'll be able to share those details with you.
Gale A. Brewer
1:04:53
Okay.
1:04:53
So not it's not anything through even previously, it was not through your office.
1:04:58
It was all through NYPD?
1:04:59
No.
1:05:00
Oh, I'm confused now.
Anthony Miranda
1:05:01
Well, you asked about what currently is being done on the Palak to protect.
1:05:05
Anything on the Palakkad protect has been going to the police department.
Gale A. Brewer
1:05:09
But before that, you were doing it thanks to your investigations with the Ohio Ohio firm that does the proper procedures.
Anthony Miranda
1:05:19
Correct.
1:05:19
Before that, we did have a local contractor that was the facilitator.
1:05:22
Ultimately, the contractor will bring the product to Ohio because that's the dispense, the place where the product is actually destroyed.
Justin L. Brannan
1:05:29
Okay.
Gale A. Brewer
1:05:29
But
Anthony Miranda
1:05:29
we had a local contract prior to that.
1:05:31
Or they would come in with specific types of barrels, seal the product, and then they were required and they are the ones that were authorized to transport.
1:05:39
So we are still also negotiating a contract directly as well, but it has not been finalized yet.
