sean smoot followed by tracie mears. >> thank you very much. i have two questions, one question for your dr. eastman. first of all, thank you for interrupting your vacation to participate in testifying for the task force. >> you're welcome. my wife is watching that. thank you. >> thank you, mrs. eastman. doctor, if you know, what would be the cost on a per officer basis to equip them with a downed officer kit as you described in your testimony and the training to use that kit? >> yes, so, cost, it depends on scale. if you go large scale, you're going to talk about less than $50. way less. 50 dollars an officer. i think it would be up to the manufacturers of that equipment and those companies to deal with us on a scale pricing, but if we're talking about a nationwide programming, i think that price would fall significantly. we're looking at nearly a million law enforcement officers in the united states. in terms of the training, we don't exactly know how long to train people for. it's my belief we can do this in a couple of hours. in the dallas

goff has stated here and have learned a lot from tracy meares research, first brought to my attention, what works in crime prevention study. we just do not understand the interactions, retail interactions of law enforcement. that's the goal for next generation. let me focus on the third recommendation that i highlight in my prepared statement. the title of today's panel is future of community policing. so this is the conceptual framework for police revolution that has taken place over the last generation. three articulations there one embraig bracing crime prevention. we talked about this a lot. great successes crime in this country. through problem solving principle of policing methodology. those two pillars are very strong. the third pillar, partnerships with the community has gotten less attention is underdeveloped. in some ways i think we lost ground while others have gained ground. we need to think about strengthen that pillar. so how do we do that? focus on legitimatesey. my testimony site the station by bill bratton when he was sworn in as please commissioner for a second time

tracy meares followed by roberto villasenor. >> thank you so much. i have a comment first and then a question. the comment is for you, mayor freeman-wilson. i had a chance to read through this document while you were testifying. and i really appreciated many of the recommendations. it's reflective of some of the things we were talking about. listening to you and having a chance to listen to mayor rawlings blake and mayor nutter, so i wanted to say thank you. >> thank you so much. >> so my question for you, are you officer smith -- >> yes. >> i remember when you came here with mayor johnson, but you didn't have a chance to speak. and you actually touched on my question which, you know, you spoke at the end. it has to begin somewhere. why not let it begin with you or let it begin with me. i was hoping you would say a few more words about that. you know, we gave you limited time to speak. and i imagined in some sense it's easy to say, well, it should just start with you as the union representative. i'm sure it's a little more complicated than that. and
