And, this is my last question.
1:01:35
Does the, DOI believe council city council should look to enact laws local laws to enforce recommendations made by DOI and rejected by the NYPD?

That's a question I think I would wanna answer on a case by case basis, because our recommendations really vary.
1:01:53
I mean, sometimes they're very specific.
1:01:56
Sometimes they involve broader policy change.
1:01:59
So I I would I would wanna think about that.
1:02:01
The city council support is is very important to us, and and I think it it plays a very important role.
1:02:07
Part of the reason that we issue these reports, you know, publicly and in detail so that there really is a blueprint for what we're proposing.
1:02:15
But I would just wanna be thoughtful on whether and which aspects of what we propose are best handled through legislation versus some other way.
1:02:24
But that is certainly a dialogue we would wanna have.
1:02:26
And if the council is is interested in doing that, we would very much wanna be a part of that process and and very much appreciate, you know, the focus and attention to the work that we're doing with the NYPD.
