We need help dealing with FOIL requests, and we need help with dealing with the increase in ERPO or extreme risk protection orders, one of the key tools in our toolbox to deal with illegal firearms in our city.

I mentioned the community justice center, dollars thirty million in capital funds for that, and we need your help with that as well.

4:48:34

We again are the only borough without a community justice center, and we'd like to rectify that for the people of Staten Island.

4:48:41

We know that it's a methodology that works, and not only in supporting the community but in preventing crime, And, again, that's why we're all here today.

I thank you for your attention and indulgence if I went a little bit over, but we look forward to taking your questions.
