Okay.
1:19:32
On the, NYPD OID, I know we've had a hearing on this.
1:19:35
So what's the current budget and headcount of that particular office?
1:19:39
And again, attrition and recruitment, do they differ for this office compared to the rest of the department?
Jocelyn E. Strauber
1:19:46
Okay.
1:19:46
So so the current active headcount is nine.
1:19:50
We had significant attrition in the twenty twenty three to twenty twenty four period of 46.15%.
1:19:59
You know, that that's a significant amount.
1:20:02
And I I think we've talked about the ways in which, you know, we have worked to support the unit so that even with the lower number of staff, they are able to produce reports.
1:20:13
They've already produced, you know, they're working they're working on, you know, several reports right now that we hope to produce this year.
1:20:21
We had the social media report already issued.
1:20:23
We had the post act report.
1:20:25
So they are they are continuing to work at a productive rate, but staffing is is definitely a challenge.
Gale Brewer
1:20:30
Okay.
1:20:30
And how are we addressing the staffing issue there?
1:20:33
That's just based on needing the extra 13, or is there something else for this particular office?
Jocelyn E. Strauber
1:20:39
Well, I mean, I think I think we are we are thinking about as as we post for, you know, new positions, we have to make decisions about where they're gonna be allocated.
1:20:48
We also have the option, you know, of going back to OMB and seeking exceptions from the two for one hiring for certain, you know, positions.
1:20:56
And so we're thinking about all of those things in terms of ways to build up their staffing.
