We announced that operation that included Calgary, included jags to help with prosecution in partnership with the City and County of San Francisco. You may recall the early success of those efforts. There were 6,200 citations. There were hundreds of stolen vehicles that were recovered and guns, illegal guns. Over 700 pounds of fentanyl was seized because of that operation. So successful was the operation in 2023 that we started receiving phone calls from other mayors throughout the state of California. At the time, Oakland was a hot spot. (01:15–01:27)
