What I'm saying is, over time has to be expected because the need is there, the call for it is there, and and the desire from the community at large in the five boroughs to have more police on the streets is there.

So you're in what's called a catch 22, but we definitely appreciate the creative, critical thinking that you've brought to this department in the short months that you're here.
