i can branch in the police and b and i decided on run for office. one of the my concern was the police department, some issues that they said. one of the problems was like a complaint, how they handle. so if my time leaving a presidency in moving to the city american going to come the counsel credited the now senior back to the mayor. i have worked on a number of issues to try to strip in the ration between the police in one was 1st of all, hire outside independent police officer which we have in place. because to feel young, the auditor is supposed to look at trends in the police department. he looks at what we need to do training. he looks at of arrest that talent the right way. we handle those all the term and that has been a great start for us in this community. this also is, you know,

we do have body cameras for the officers and the fact that we have that. that's where we do today to look at the footage. the main thing we also should always look at to the fact that we have this new or is that it had to be released in 7 days. the mayor could have did a executive order, but we did not do that. we took into the chart review commission cost president is here, article summerville, of your written university, back of law school chair. their committee came with the idea along with the mer to put it in the charter. so now when they are the police shooting, the police department or the chief can't say, i'm not releasing it, the mayor says, can't say on that with the city that has to be released. and then the voters voted over 90 percent of the voters voted on it. and that is a huge thing that i don't think you'd like any other place in the country who's done it. as many years of public service,

i have never understood why police were handling they own investigation. and when it comes in to police involve that is there was there right with me in this community. and now since we have a new chief in the mayor, they have gotten together and they have an outside help. in investigating this case, this is huge. this is definitely that business as usual. this move verification tab outside entity ensures that it will be the ferris most advise review of the fast. and that's the right decision at the right time. we also have with us today some of our resident. this is where i knew some of the members of the faith based community. some says some says in some senses who've been involved in a community here for his prescott conference, and we appreciate you being here to having those who did release day dizzy chris

there in the right and rich bay los stating what you will see in this footage. is extremely upset from here, we need to look at our process to get us to the next steps. independent investigate in the state level will further that process. i know there is anger that when people see this video and we've called them become sick and i was, i have, i could have been myself and quite frankly, our community has to read. we're still concerns and protests. and we would ask them to do that. but what we would ask them to do as a family is ask them to do is ok to protest. but we will also ask them to do with in a peaceful manner. we is asked for this type of transparency. now we're getting into the busy game that we want. you have to be patient and allow the investigation to
