You see, we're very pleased, as Jimmy Mitchell said, to have a special group with us today. And this is great because I remember back probably about 11, 12 years ago, There were a couple years that went by when there wasn't a cadet class. I was probably the only official in the state that attacked that and called it out because it was wrong. It hurt the police. I stood as Attorney General and stood strong. That's why I've always appreciated the cadets and the state police and I've always worked hard to fight for them. (09:53–10:04)
