Yeah.
1:27:34
I mean, just because I've been around so long, in the old days, every time you got your paycheck remember we used to have checks?
1:27:39
Young people don't even know that we did, but we did.
1:27:43
And then there would be a little information about how to be an honest, employee in almost every check.
1:27:50
Now, of course, it's directly deposited, so you have no idea how to be an honest employee unless you go to one of these trainings.
1:27:57
I'm just saying that little check had some positive aspects to it.
1:28:01
No longer.
1:28:03
The other question is, the department has been operating a policy and proceed procedure recommendation portal that helps inform the public on the recommendation.
1:28:16
So how often is the portal updated?
1:28:18
When was the last update?
1:28:20
I should know this.
1:28:20
I should have looked at it, but I have not.

1:28:22
So the the portal's updated every quarter.
1:28:27
And I I don't I don't know that I have unless someone else has it.
1:28:31
I don't have the specific last date that it was updated, but it's it's every quarter it's updated.
1:28:37
I I we had we had some sort of a backlog last year with updating, which I think we've now I think we are now up to date.
1:28:45
And our number of, policy and procedure recommendations went up significantly, this year compared to last year.
1:28:52
I had that number.
1:28:54
I think it may have been in my testimony, but but we we went up by a significant magnitude.
1:28:59
And it's been, you know, reports and recommendations, as you know, has also been a focus for us Yeah.
1:29:04
Over the last few years.
1:29:05
And we had, I think, 15 reports last year and and over 200, maybe close to 300 recommendations.
