A large part of that was precision policing using our investigative precision and our deployment precision in neighborhoods such as East New York, Brownsville, Bedford Stuyvesant, Crown Heights, East Flatbush.
1:19:09
And the criminal group database was a part of that, knowing instantaneously where shooting was in the Vanderviers in East Flatbush and moving resources as far as Far Rockaway in Southern Queens.
1:19:24
Moving resources to Brownsville, Brooklyn, East New York, Brooklyn.
1:19:28
And how do I know that?
1:19:30
Because I'm a large part of that.

It's about looking at the trigger pullers in New York City and putting it all together.
