can you hear that general ok so high there's the public does anybody internal group say to the police department and all the other work that's happened around and you know definitely interested to be here and to learn and listen i was also just reflecting a lot since the last time about the now and and it's a place of real empathy because i've been an organizational leader who's training i think part of you know the other skill set that is needed is is that ability to be able to kind of hear criticism or hear concerns being brought without that defensive or you know with some acceptance that people are going to have their fears and their concerns and distrust i think especially when we're talking about police relation ships with people of color you know there's just such  you know for whatever it's worth just want to sort of express my you know both my embassy empathy for like how difficult it can be to be in these conversations but also just my encouragement towards you  being able to support each other and and also law enforcement officers to to be able to hear those things and know that it's not always coming from a place that's personal or to know that you could be working really hard to do the right things and some  distrust is still going to be there because of the sort of generations of trauma the people have experienced and the fears that are going to sit with people that is you know going to take more that's good so for people who may not know that she was involved in a bicycle accident new york a little over a week ago he was going down a mountain road he's actually training for a triathlon he was going down a mountain road and  i'm not exactly sure what happened but he lost control of the bike and some people found him unconscious in the road and so he's got a number of injuries he's got ten broken bones  and as is he told his wife the other day you know he does have a hard head so you know he's but it did break so but he's going to be just fine it's going to take a little time  to heal he's very sore right now but i did see him yesterday and he is upright walking so that's a good sign he's going to rest a lot which is probably not in his nature so i think to have a lot of patience is it's going to be somewhat difficult but he is doing great and i've talked to him and he's really wanting to get back to work because that is what he lives so yeah i think we're going to take it as a go as he's you know he gets tired often because his bones are healing and you know everything's healing so i would i'm hopeful that he may be back in the office in a month but i don't know if that's going to happen or not so the public is welcome to come out and look at the everything that's on the truck and find out the purpose of it and i know we've already talked to you about what you're going to be able to do so  ok meeting of the police commission is currently underway but the commissioners are in gauged in a tour of the emergency response vehicle outside the building the meeting will resume when they return to the building the meeting of the burlington police commission is currently in session but the commissioners are outside the building undertaking a tour of the emergency response vehicle meeting will continue in this room when the commissioners return but the commissioners are outside the building participating in a tour of the department's new emergency response a vehicle the meeting will resume in this room as soon as the commissioners return the meeting of the burlington police commission is currently in session but the commissioners are outside the building participating in a tour of the department's new emergency response a vehicle i believe they are now returning to the  room so i don't have a whole lot to report on other than it was reported during the last meeting that the chief was going to attend the police executive research forum  basically just going over what i want the ten best strategies are best practices for the opioid crisis so this was a nationwide group you know everyone's trying to deal with this issue and you know as far as i'm concerned burlington and the police department the forefront of trying to determine what the best practices are interested in looking at that that's where it is and you know there's an entire group of people i don't know if you guys are in or what it is you know basically every every service that is available to us that which is pretty much everything is present and determining you know what each one of those agencies can do to help and what the best practices are and they bring people in from from out of the state that are trying to do new things are trying to do different things you know throwing stuff against the wall to determine what sticks and and you know if they try something and it fails at least they can say they tried so that's where everyone is right now but you know i think  really has a good handle on what's happening and and how to deal with that sometimes some of the things that he recommends aren't looked at very well by some of the services because it's against their nature you know but but this is a crisis and we're trying to deal with whatever with this how we can and to keep an open mind is probably the most important part  well it kind of goes against the grain for anybody to share information especially in the health care business because of have the regulations you know so when you try to work around that you want to have the best care for the patient but you also want to have give them privacy as well so it kind of goes against each other but you know is as we've seen in law enforcement over the last probably five years you know we have really embraced a lot of things that i never thought that we would over the years and we've we've had to look at things differently and it's much as we don't like some things we understand that this is the way this is the way the society is headed in this is what people want so if it works it works and we're going to be ok with that the other thing is just an update on to be cheaper he has two days left his last  we are in the process of taking applications for deputy chief a nationwide and developing that process so we're hoping by the week of july ninth to get that started and we're also losing two lieutenants so the historical value that we are losing from this agency is huge but you know i'm sure that that we're going to find some sergeants in our ranks that are really going to be a question from the deceased dog owners i think i conveyed to the attorney but i don't think that that's going to be addressed and as far as the other neighbor they didn't have any issues they had not had any issues with the guy since this issue but i did want to want to put you on notice that there may be all right so there's other we were the second committee there's actually a committee to hear that jim you're on that who else is on the river we were drafted remember so thirty days from the service if we hadn't heard anything then it's over
