lieutenant falvey has been involved with them with supervisor campos and his staff about appropriate dates. and a lot of this started as we were moving into other processes. i was very excited about this. i can't wait to work with supervisor campos so a very close friend and i would like to talk with him later tonight about this tonight or tomorrow. i think it's very important that we do this. it's very hard to get definition of community policing based on my years of experience and the department ofus tess has had a hard time defining it. if we could define it, it's great. but quite frankly, the best way to probably roll this out would be when we do have a permanent chief. whether it's a new chief or not. and we do it with the biggest -- there's the community and the policing. and probably should have the policing equation part of it and what better way to roll out an event for our new chief is to have this be the event with the board of supervisors discussing the definition of community policing. i think that would be an excellent way to roll this out and i'm very excited about thi
