1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.799
<v Speaker 1>Well, we've we talked with them last month, Shannon, you

2
00:00:03.839 --> 00:00:06.160
<v Speaker 1>were out so you didn't get the opportunity. But LAPD

3
00:00:06.280 --> 00:00:09.519
<v Speaker 1>chief Jim McDonald has joined joined us. Chief, thanks for

4
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:10.880
<v Speaker 1>taking time for us once again.

5
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:13.439
<v Speaker 2>Good morning, Thank you both for having me on.

6
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:16.280
<v Speaker 3>I was just thinking about you. Well, it wasn't just

7
00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:18.199
<v Speaker 3>thinking about you. Was a couple of years ago when

8
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:23.559
<v Speaker 3>I finally got to Fenway and beautiful, Oh my gosh. Yeah,

9
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:26.559
<v Speaker 3>and I'm standing outside and it's all the things. It's like,

10
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:29.440
<v Speaker 3>all the build up of thinking of going to Fenway,

11
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:31.760
<v Speaker 3>it all pays off, you know what I mean, Like

12
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:34.679
<v Speaker 3>it's not just a romantic thing in your head. It's

13
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:38.079
<v Speaker 3>like I'm standing outside there and I just get chills,

14
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:40.000
<v Speaker 3>and I was just like, and then I was thinking,

15
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:42.079
<v Speaker 3>like you you grew up right around.

16
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:45.280
<v Speaker 2>There, Yeah, right down the street. Yeah. It's a special

17
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:47.920
<v Speaker 2>place I think in American history. Really.

18
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:51.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's fantastic. I would go if I haven't been here.

19
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:53.039
<v Speaker 3>Is your endorsement to go?

20
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exactly.

21
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:55.799
<v Speaker 4>Chief.

22
00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:58.920
<v Speaker 1>This week, you guys released the end of your crime

23
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.200
<v Speaker 1>report for twenty twenty four. Let's go over some of

24
00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:03.960
<v Speaker 1>those those numbers. What were the highlights for you?

25
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:08.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I think the big the big ones had struck

26
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:12.200
<v Speaker 2>me or the reduction in homicides were down fourteen percent

27
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:16.959
<v Speaker 2>from the year before, and that is that's a big one.

28
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:20.560
<v Speaker 2>That's the one that everybody counts very accurately. So I

29
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:22.719
<v Speaker 2>think as a measure of success, certainly we looked to

30
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:25.879
<v Speaker 2>that one for twenty twenty four. Then we built on

31
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:27.799
<v Speaker 2>that in the first quarter of this year. We're down

32
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:31.640
<v Speaker 2>an additional forty percent for twenty twenty four. The victim

33
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.640
<v Speaker 2>shot a number of people shot was down nineteen percent.

34
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:39.359
<v Speaker 2>Rapes decreased by almost one hundred during the year. Robberies

35
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:42.879
<v Speaker 2>saw a slight decline and then a large decline in

36
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:47.760
<v Speaker 2>aggravated assaults from over twenty thousand down to seventeen thousand

37
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:49.920
<v Speaker 2>and six. And so all in all, look at our

38
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:53.079
<v Speaker 2>numbers across the board, twenty twenty four was a good

39
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:54.719
<v Speaker 2>year for Los Angeles.

40
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:59.799
<v Speaker 3>I remember a press conference of five hundred years ago.

41
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:01.719
<v Speaker 4>You were an assistant chief at the time.

42
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.400
<v Speaker 3>Bill Bratton was there, and you guys, the focus was

43
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:08.439
<v Speaker 3>talking about community policing and you know, the broken windows theory,

44
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:11.120
<v Speaker 3>and I know you're a big community policing guy. And

45
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:13.240
<v Speaker 3>now that you're back at the Helm of the LAPD.

46
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:16.520
<v Speaker 3>Do you see room for more of that? Is that

47
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:19.439
<v Speaker 3>one of the items on your agenda is to really

48
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:23.080
<v Speaker 3>I mean post pandemic, post protest life.

49
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:25.400
<v Speaker 4>Is this something that could.

50
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:30.280
<v Speaker 3>Really create great strides in Los Angeles right now in

51
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:31.159
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty five.

52
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:35.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, absolutely. I think it's we're looking at community policing

53
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:37.919
<v Speaker 2>as more of a philosophy how we do business, looking

54
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:41.000
<v Speaker 2>at the root causes rather than just the symptoms or incidents.

55
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:43.879
<v Speaker 2>That's a focus that we have taken them will continue

56
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:47.439
<v Speaker 2>to take. I look at, you know, the areas that

57
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:50.520
<v Speaker 2>are covered by our folks who work the Community Safety

58
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:55.719
<v Speaker 2>Partnership Bureau, where they focused community policing efforts and strategies

59
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:59.479
<v Speaker 2>on particular places. Homicides fell by forty percent in those

60
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:03.159
<v Speaker 2>areas twenty twenty four. And so when you look at

61
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:06.599
<v Speaker 2>the success of engaging with the community, nobody knows a

62
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.520
<v Speaker 2>particular neighborhood better than the people who live there. So

63
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:12.479
<v Speaker 2>if we can make them part of the public safety

64
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:16.120
<v Speaker 2>equation and partner with them, we get tremendous results. So

65
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:18.680
<v Speaker 2>the effort will be to continue that and take it

66
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:19.400
<v Speaker 2>to a new level.

67
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:24.360
<v Speaker 1>One of the criticisms from people who watch crime numbers

68
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:27.960
<v Speaker 1>like this, is that the definitions of crime have changed

69
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:31.159
<v Speaker 1>over the years, and that can alter what appears to

70
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:34.280
<v Speaker 1>be a drop or an increase in a specific crime.

71
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:36.960
<v Speaker 1>How do you account for that? How do you make

72
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:39.520
<v Speaker 1>sure that the numbers are as accurate as you can

73
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:41.280
<v Speaker 1>possibly make them.

74
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:43.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we do the best we can to try and

75
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:47.159
<v Speaker 2>be able to compare Apple Staples and have. This year

76
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:51.879
<v Speaker 2>has been a modification in that because the whole nation

77
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.919
<v Speaker 2>has transferred or in the process of transferring, from the

78
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:59.199
<v Speaker 2>Uniform Crime Reporting System, which is the one we've used

79
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:02.560
<v Speaker 2>for well over a years to now the National Incident

80
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Based Reporting System or NIGHBORS. That fundamentally changes the way

81
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:10.319
<v Speaker 2>crime data is collected and analyzed. But while it's more

82
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:14.400
<v Speaker 2>labor intensive and takes more people to be able to

83
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:16.959
<v Speaker 2>do the input on the front end, it captures a

84
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:20.120
<v Speaker 2>lot more data, so it gives us the ability to

85
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:22.319
<v Speaker 2>do a greater level of analysis and to be able

86
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:26.040
<v Speaker 2>to identify patterns and trends and clusters of crime. So

87
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:28.680
<v Speaker 2>all in all, it'll be worth the transition down the road,

88
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:33.439
<v Speaker 2>but for this year, comparing it year to year data

89
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:37.480
<v Speaker 2>will be difficult. It happened the transition took place in

90
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:40.439
<v Speaker 2>May of last year, and so in May of this year,

91
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.800
<v Speaker 2>we'll start at a point where we can compare year

92
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:45.279
<v Speaker 2>to year moving forward.

93
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:49.399
<v Speaker 3>We're talking to LAPD chief Jim McDonell, and you're a

94
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:52.920
<v Speaker 3>Long Beach guy, if memory serves. I was just in

95
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.120
<v Speaker 3>Long Beach last week, spend some time there, and I

96
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:58.240
<v Speaker 3>was talking to our friend and she was talking about

97
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:02.120
<v Speaker 3>the e buy and I know, Orange County's got some

98
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:06.000
<v Speaker 3>things in the works in terms of kind of just

99
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:09.519
<v Speaker 3>getting a handle on the proliferation of these things. And

100
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:11.360
<v Speaker 3>she was saying that she was walking around Long Beach

101
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:13.240
<v Speaker 3>and there was all these kids on the e bikes,

102
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:16.720
<v Speaker 3>and what can be kind of done in terms of

103
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:19.439
<v Speaker 3>getting a handle on that. I guess for lack of

104
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:22.439
<v Speaker 3>a better because there's no you can't pass any laws

105
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:25.680
<v Speaker 3>against them or anything like that, but they certainly seem

106
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:28.319
<v Speaker 3>to be kind of a nuisance at least in some

107
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:29.720
<v Speaker 3>parts of LA.

108
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:33.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. You know, like anything good, there will be some

109
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:36.199
<v Speaker 2>people who abuse it and use it for other purposes

110
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:39.199
<v Speaker 2>and become either a nuisance or worse. In the case

111
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:42.120
<v Speaker 2>of e bikes, much like any of our traffic issues

112
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:44.560
<v Speaker 2>that we deal with, we try and do education to

113
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:50.000
<v Speaker 2>educate the community about the dangers of using certain methods

114
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:54.120
<v Speaker 2>to get around of how they can better protect their

115
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:57.040
<v Speaker 2>own safety and the safety of the public. And then

116
00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.920
<v Speaker 2>usually we would look at engineering, where are these being

117
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.600
<v Speaker 2>allowed to be operated, how do we operate them? And

118
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.560
<v Speaker 2>again going back to the first part, letting people know

119
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:09.199
<v Speaker 2>what the dangers of them are. And then enforcement. You know,

120
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:12.160
<v Speaker 2>if they're operating this vehicle or any other vehicle in

121
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.879
<v Speaker 2>an unsafe manner, we can take enforcement action. And I

122
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:20.160
<v Speaker 2>think that's hopefully a last resort, but those are the

123
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:22.600
<v Speaker 2>way we deal with these type of problems. Education in

124
00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:26.079
<v Speaker 2>the schools as well. Social media also may have an impact.

125
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:29.600
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about LAPD Chief Jim McDonald. Jim, if you

126
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.279
<v Speaker 1>have an opportunity, Chief, can you stick around for another segment?

127
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Sure, I'm good.

128
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:35.839
<v Speaker 1>Good. We got a couple more questions. I want to

129
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:37.480
<v Speaker 1>get into technology also.

130
00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:39.279
<v Speaker 3>And I also want to ask him the Jeopardy question

131
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:42.040
<v Speaker 3>of the day because it's about Ireland and I feel

132
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:44.079
<v Speaker 3>like he's going to know it better than you will.

133
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Right more with LAPD Chief McDonald when we come back.

134
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:53.920
<v Speaker 3>We are talking to LAPD Chief Jim McDonald, who I

135
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:57.879
<v Speaker 3>think was everybody's pick everybody's favorite to lead the department

136
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:01.920
<v Speaker 3>where he spent so much much time. You spent time

137
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:05.519
<v Speaker 3>really everywhere Long Beach, l a p D. Sheriff's Department,

138
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:08.279
<v Speaker 3>and he is back at the helm of the l

139
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:10.759
<v Speaker 3>a p D and has found it in his hard

140
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:12.439
<v Speaker 3>to spend some time with us.

141
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:17.199
<v Speaker 2>How about them Dodgers, Chief, They're doing great, maybe unstoppable.

142
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:20.399
<v Speaker 3>Can you believe about Rodney Pete in the middle of

143
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:24.240
<v Speaker 3>the night snagging that ball from Max Munsey along the

144
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:27.600
<v Speaker 3>first baseline?

145
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:30.480
<v Speaker 4>We should lock them up? Maybe we locked them up.

146
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:33.000
<v Speaker 1>We beat him on the tarmament.

147
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:38.600
<v Speaker 3>Rodney works down the hall from us, so he's one

148
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:40.839
<v Speaker 3>of our friends here.

149
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:42.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it really is a great family.

150
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:43.480
<v Speaker 2>Chief.

151
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.319
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about crime numbers, and we've talked a lot

152
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:50.720
<v Speaker 1>about artificial intelligence for in all different industries and different

153
00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:54.639
<v Speaker 1>walks of life. Is there a move at all, whether

154
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:57.839
<v Speaker 1>it's LAPD specific or law enforcement in general, to use

155
00:07:58.040 --> 00:07:59.920
<v Speaker 1>artificial intelligence in policing.

156
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:04.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's a lot of vendors trying to be able

157
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:07.680
<v Speaker 2>to enter the market and the public safety arena. Certainly

158
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:09.560
<v Speaker 2>a lot of money to be made long term in it,

159
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:12.120
<v Speaker 2>but also a great tool, but one that I would

160
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:14.399
<v Speaker 2>ask that we you know, my peers, that we beat

161
00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:19.120
<v Speaker 2>judicious about employing that and not doing it too fast

162
00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:22.120
<v Speaker 2>and end up losing a great tool. But I think

163
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:24.680
<v Speaker 2>where we can see it enter the market now is

164
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:28.279
<v Speaker 2>to be able to go into realms and reams of data,

165
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:31.519
<v Speaker 2>to be able to find things that are detectives say,

166
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:34.440
<v Speaker 2>could normally find if they had the time, but they don't,

167
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:37.799
<v Speaker 2>and allow them to be able to narrow the field

168
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.320
<v Speaker 2>and look at clues or data that they need to

169
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:44.320
<v Speaker 2>be able to put a case together. Likewise with redaction

170
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:46.600
<v Speaker 2>and so many other things that we do that we

171
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:48.519
<v Speaker 2>just don't have the personnel to do it. To be

172
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:52.000
<v Speaker 2>able to get an assist from AI or machine learning,

173
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:55.399
<v Speaker 2>you know, to begin with, it would be a big help.

174
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:59.240
<v Speaker 3>How refreshing to hear somebody in power say, yeah, there's

175
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:01.840
<v Speaker 3>a lot of money to be made in contracts, especially

176
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:04.960
<v Speaker 3>with you know, public money right to be made with

177
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:07.279
<v Speaker 3>contracts with the city or the police department or fire

178
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:10.240
<v Speaker 3>what have you. But to make sure all right, yeah,

179
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:13.320
<v Speaker 3>we we it's the future. Will probably contract out in

180
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.320
<v Speaker 3>the in the future, but be careful and do it

181
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:17.399
<v Speaker 3>right exactly.

182
00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think it's a great tool, and

183
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:23.039
<v Speaker 2>like so many other great tools. We have a tendency

184
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:25.480
<v Speaker 2>to rush into things and uh and put them to

185
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:28.440
<v Speaker 2>work right away, and it's you know, premature, and we

186
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:31.000
<v Speaker 2>end up losing some some good opportunities.

187
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:34.039
<v Speaker 1>Well I think you lose. You have the potential also

188
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:39.159
<v Speaker 1>to lose. What makes what makes the job a great

189
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:42.679
<v Speaker 1>thing is that it's human interaction. I mean, yeah, you know,

190
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:45.799
<v Speaker 1>we mentioned, I mentioned last time that we were talking

191
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:50.000
<v Speaker 1>with you, Chief that of the thousands of contacts that

192
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:54.559
<v Speaker 1>the LAPD has every single day with people, we only

193
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:58.080
<v Speaker 1>hear one or two or three and they're usually not positive.

194
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:00.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's that's and that the there's thousands of

195
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:04.080
<v Speaker 1>other great positive contacts that happen every single day that

196
00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:05.919
<v Speaker 1>just don't get the attention.

197
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:10.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Now, probably literally millions of contacts a year, and

198
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:13.200
<v Speaker 2>you hear about the ones that go wrong, and we

199
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:16.559
<v Speaker 2>hate it when any go wrong. But when you think

200
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:19.720
<v Speaker 2>about people call the police when their world is upside down,

201
00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:23.159
<v Speaker 2>their situation is out of their control. The police come

202
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:28.840
<v Speaker 2>into a situation that's emotionally charged or more difficult, with alcohol,

203
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:32.679
<v Speaker 2>drugs and mental illness involved so often the case today,

204
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:35.759
<v Speaker 2>and try and be able to de escalate the situation

205
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:39.480
<v Speaker 2>and restore some order and get people the services they need.

206
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:42.759
<v Speaker 2>That's pretty challenging for anyone in any field, and that's

207
00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:44.120
<v Speaker 2>what they do. Call after call.

208
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:49.480
<v Speaker 3>Chief McDonald may have been from Boston area Brookline, but

209
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:53.120
<v Speaker 3>he is a graduate of the LA Police Academy. Do

210
00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:55.639
<v Speaker 3>you remember and I'm putting you on the spot here,

211
00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:57.799
<v Speaker 3>but do you remember of any of those like early

212
00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:01.240
<v Speaker 3>interactions you had, whether it was in the academy or

213
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:05.080
<v Speaker 3>after you got the academy, with people in the community

214
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:07.000
<v Speaker 3>that kind of stick with.

215
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:09.600
<v Speaker 4>You throughout your masterful career.

216
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:12.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean now as head of the LAPD, But like

217
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:15.279
<v Speaker 3>interactions or cases, are things that stuck with you that

218
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:17.120
<v Speaker 3>remind you of why you do what you do?

219
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:21.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Absolutely, you know, thinking back, that was forty four

220
00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:24.279
<v Speaker 2>years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday.

221
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.120
<v Speaker 2>But coming out onto the street in the city I

222
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:29.399
<v Speaker 2>didn't know at the time with people I had never

223
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:33.759
<v Speaker 2>met before was something that was exciting but challenging, and

224
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:35.919
<v Speaker 2>to be able to kind of acclimate to a new

225
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.600
<v Speaker 2>culture and certainly a new career. I look back on

226
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:43.000
<v Speaker 2>that and the thing that reminded me continuously of why

227
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:45.879
<v Speaker 2>we do what we do. Sometimes under the most difficult

228
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:48.960
<v Speaker 2>to circumstances is because of the victims, the people out

229
00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:52.240
<v Speaker 2>there who truly need the police, who without the police

230
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:54.679
<v Speaker 2>would be living in terror, be locked in their homes,

231
00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:57.080
<v Speaker 2>and not be able to function in the way that

232
00:11:57.120 --> 00:11:59.399
<v Speaker 2>we all as Americans would expect to be able to.

233
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.519
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I've constantly been reminded throughout my career of

234
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:06.960
<v Speaker 2>why I'm here, primarily because of the people who need

235
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:07.559
<v Speaker 2>us the most.

236
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:12.440
<v Speaker 4>All right, are you ready for your jeopardy question? Okay,

237
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:14.639
<v Speaker 4>all right, this is something we do every day.

238
00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:17.480
<v Speaker 3>I ask Gary a stupid jeopardy question from the stupid

239
00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:20.320
<v Speaker 3>dusk calendar we have. But today it's Ireland for one

240
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:27.399
<v Speaker 3>thousand dollars. Chief founded in nine fourteen. Founded in nine fourteen.

241
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:31.240
<v Speaker 3>This city, known for its crystal, is the oldest in Ireland.

242
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:35.759
<v Speaker 2>Crystal.

243
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.200
<v Speaker 4>It's in the south. It's in the south.

244
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Waterford, Waterford crystal.

245
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Wow, Why do I not know that that's the most

246
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:43.960
<v Speaker 2>common crystal.

247
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:45.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's all right, Waterford.

248
00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:47.519
<v Speaker 4>Listen.

249
00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:50.240
<v Speaker 3>I went to Waterford in Ireland and it was nothing

250
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:53.799
<v Speaker 3>to write home about. It was very industrial, The crystal

251
00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:56.600
<v Speaker 3>warehouse was very nondescript.

252
00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:58.320
<v Speaker 4>But the crystal is beautiful.

253
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:01.399
<v Speaker 2>You stumped me.

254
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:01.919
<v Speaker 1>On that one.

255
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:05.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry. Next next time, I'll make sure to get
