We'd just like to talk about the importance of this program in our community. We all are very invested in this program and what it does for our community, because we need you to help us do our jobs. We can't be everywhere at once. And so we rely on our community and the members of our community to tell us what's going on and report crimes or suspicious activity when they see it happening.
