just yesterday, councilmember lord taylor -- moran taylor allowed a proposal that would allow new violence prevention methods and alternative response, but also not let the current staffing levels further deplete. i hope that people support proposal, but people need to be heard. they need to weigh in. they need to contact city council. >> i want to ask you more about what the counter to what you have offered. it includes the number of police academies, putting more in police prevention and macro, a civilian response program, talk about what your proposal is and may be why investing in more preventative resources and social services is not as much of a focus as police. >> know -- it is just as much of a focus. i support investments in macro, violence prevention, it is a huge priority of mine. i believe we can do both. we can invest in these new prevention methods which i fully support and have championed forever. we cannot deplete the current safety safety net we have in place now and has been proven to reduce violent crime and prevent it when it is done in collaboration with community and
