I think that we need to be having a real conversation about where these young people are getting guns from and how they're getting access to them so frequently and so freely, but also just thinking about what is the real coordination in the sense of I a % agree that we should be deploying more cops in these areas, but I also want to make sure that we're also deploying the same amount of resources so that young people can have opportunities and I know it was shared that they their stat that stats are being shared between CMS groups and I know you stated that you meet with them once a week.
2:13:23
I would love to just know what are those conversations look like and when you're talking because I've I've been at a couple of shootings where there are hundreds of young people out there grieving and I see cops and I don't see anything else.
2:13:35
So I would love to hear more about what those conversations are because if you're talking and you're sharing stats, then I would hope that at the same time they're being deployed, and don't you worry I'm holding DYCD and the CMS groups just as accountable because I know a lot of people people love to say that we're here yelling at y'all, that's not true.
2:13:52
I'm holding them just as accountable in this situation, but I would like to know what does those conversations look like and how are we coordinating these efforts for the summer.

So chief Lipetri, our chief of crime control strategies is gonna respond.
Michael Lipetri
2:14:09
As always, the conversations start with prevention.
2:14:13
So those conversations mostly stem from an analysis of a shooting incident or shots fired in areas of the city where we know where the retaliatory violence is gonna
Althea V. Stevens
2:14:27
When you're having those conversations around prevention, and I know that, you know, the commissioner has been very clear like if they're shot she's she's gonna deploy those officers there.
2:14:38
Are you guys also coordinating with the CMS groups also deploy to deploy CMS groups out there at the same same time to support?
2:14:46
And what does that look like?
Michael Lipetri
2:14:47
Yes.
2:14:48
So how how it works?
2:14:49
So I look.
2:14:50
I'm gonna give you a great example.
2:14:53
You know, this past weekend, Memorial Day weekend in The Bronx, in the 40, the 44, the 46, the 47, and the 48, we did not have one shooting incident and one confirmed shots fired.
2:15:06
And how we do that is put 300 extra officers on those streets for that weekend and for the whole summer.
2:15:13
So how just how we surge to specific areas, we like CMS to surge to surge to specific areas.
