mr. castillo is the not the first person to negotiate with mr. chan in regard to this beat.there were other patrol specialists that negotiated with him. several patrol specialists relaid information. and i have court documents stating that mr. chan was not honest with them. he also attempted to sell two other beats that were not his, and that would have been beats 44 and 47. i was told by mr. chan that he was negotiating with patrol officer special officer on the beat, then i had an e-mail that mr. chan was no longer noshte negotiating with him but thomas wang was another assistant. so there were four or five communications to me that the beat was in negotiation, however in the end, it was to be sold for $20, so i do question the sale of this beat. my concern, and i would say the department's concern, obviously, is was this a final sale or was there financial consideration in the future? >> suffice it to say, the department does not authorize the sale of a beat for $20 to another 0 patrol specialist, is that correct? >> that's correct. >> mr. chan? >> why did i sell this for
