Mr. Chairman, we have a very unique way in which we would put police on the street. Rather than putting police on the street in some cities that do not experience high violent crime rates, we have decided to let local people decide that police are going to be put on the streets where there is the most violent crime. So where there is the greatest need is where we want the people to be. We think that makes a lot more sense than distributing police on a per capita basis. Send them where they are needed, that is our motto.
