Okay.
1:52:42
Okay.
1:52:43
Alright.
1:52:43
And then just just finally, I think, you know, there's you know, the article in the daily news today was not very complementary.
1:52:52
I'm afraid.
1:52:52
I do have any response to that, and it's not directly related to this except that I also think that the Department of Investigation does a lot of the work that you might have to do.
1:53:02
So I'm just thinking that, you know, the DOE does a good job.
1:53:08
I mean, you may not need somebody to do that in your office.
1:53:11
So how do you respond to that?
Anthony Miranda
1:53:13
Personnel issues and not something I necessarily wanna discuss at a hearing in in this form.
1:53:19
However, the need to be able to do investigations in our office is extremely necessary considering the historical perspectives of what's going on in the sheriff's office.
1:53:30
So there is a need to have somebody in that functionality.
Gale A. Brewer
1:53:32
Okay.
1:53:33
That's your answer.
1:53:33
Any other questions?
1:53:34
No.
1:53:35
Thank you very much, and we thank you for your testimony.
Anthony Miranda
1:53:38
Thank you so much.
