tampa is a great place to be.a tampa bay lightning five years ago p or i moved my family and my business down and it has been the best five years of my life. if you have not lived there and spent a good amount of time down there, you do not realize how great the quality of life is. sunshine makes a difference, certainly this winter. commuting time in minutes rather than an hour plus. culture and sports and the beaches and museums, it is a great quality of life down there. betty: everyone says that. not trying to be cynical. but are you using some of your former wall street context to get some business down in tampa? jeff: we have an incredible blank campus down into half a. parking lots on either side of the building. in the last five years, we have been able to -- virtually all of its surface parking lot, surrounded by water on three sides in downtown tampa. it is an incredible link can this for us to build a mixed development with the university of self or medical school, with a new hotel come with meeting room

he announced a proposed 1800 seat stadium and joins us from tampa. we appreciate the time. you know as well as i do that sports teams can be a passionate aspect of the city. let's start from a base standpoint. what value does the city of st. petersburg and citizens place on having major league baseball in st. petersburg? >> we now having the rays in st. petersburg has an economic impact not just on the city but the hotels restaurants, bars all of that within st. pete and the surrounding communities. the economic impact is estimated at about $150 million a year. >> does that equate to the money spent on a new stadium that the rays would love to have in tampa, in the tampa area pardon me. >> if you look at it from the long-term, and we try to look at things from a long term perspective. we think it makes sense to have the team in st. petersburg and are hoping to keep the team in st. petersburg. we have seen tremendous growth in and around why the stadium is located. and we expect it to continue and hope the growth that continues occurs with the rays there. >> we are seeing a

tampa, florida, is known for its party scene, but the fun sometimes comes at a steep cost. the city has some of the highest rates of alcohol-related traffic fatalities in the country. a sobering fact that officer john vallejo sees firsthand with the tampa police department's dui enforcement unit. >> i would go out and investigate these horrible crashes that we see on the news all the time where the bloody sheets are covering the body except i would get there and the sheet wasn't on the body yet. most of these crashes that i would encounter were caused by an impaired driver. and i developed a passion for wanting to prevent that. >> these police dashcam videos were typically used only as evidence, but now the tampa police department is posting some of the most egregious examples of drunk driving on social media sites to help raise awareness about a problem many people won't admit. >> if i arrest you for drunk driving, it's going to be a big secret. you're not going to go running and telling all your friends, this social media project is a way of getting this information out a

i'm the chief of police for the tampa police department. historically when we talk about reducing the number of officer deaths we begin with a focus on training officer safety methods and the equipment we provide to our officers. all of these are necessary elements of safe policing, but i believe they just scrape the surface of the conversation that is needed to make our officers truly safer o you the on the streets. from where i stand, there are three key points that as law enforcement leaders we should focus upon. real-time information for officers responding to in-progress calls. community relationship. and officer wellness. with a proliferation of cell phones, information is moving at lightning speed. the effect is that officer are arriving on scene much quicker while the offense is in progress. while this increases the chances of apprehension, it also places officers in increasingly dangerous situations. to enhance officer safety, we must put information in our officers' hands at comparative speeds. we've been able to do this at the ta
