Thank you for that data.

And I'll just conclude with saying the reduction in crime that you are testifying to here today is in spite of actions that were taken by this body like the All Stopps Act and trying to get rid of the gang database and impeding DNA collection.

So I really wanna commend you on the work that you do to get violent offenders off our streets and keep our our public safe.
1:56:32
Thank you.

I I do wanna apologize to the borough of Staten Island because they also had the lowest shootings in the Comstat era.

So it was Brooklyn and Staten Island.
1:56:41
Can't forget about Staten Island.
1:56:43
Sorry about that.
