And to your point and question about police recruitment and retention, this is probably one of the topics of most concern to mayors across this country. Chief Noakes and I helped lead a conversation at U.S. conference of Mayors conference in D.C. a few weeks ago. And without fail, every single mayor raised their hand of concern about recruitment and retention of officers. You can't pay them enough, you can't get them to stay long enough because the job at times feels really thankless. (05:35–05:41)
