And those makeshift locations where year after year we had shootings coming from every year we knew they would trouble spot. Using the data from the police department, NYPD was not able to go inside in previous years to tell them they could not use their locales. But this time we were able to do so. Why? Because we had the Department of Buildings with us who utilized their authority to go inside and close down those establishments before they became trouble spots. We used the full scope of Every agency and their capabilities. These men and women who are here with us today, Sunday night, they were there days before from 8pm to 4am and they were not doing it, complaining. (06:08–06:31)
