Okay. So the only thing I have is our public my public safety update. So I'll start with the, let's see. Fire rescue stats, this is for the last 30 days. Total calls were 8,926. Motor vehicle accidents, 344. Structure fires, 25, and special ops calls, 149. Those are huge
numbers. It'll be interesting when the census comes back to see actually how large our county has grown. And for the Sheriff's Office, it is over the last two weeks, they have responded to 13,700 calls for service. These calls for service include a deputy-involved shooting where a shield saved the lives of two deputies, numerous school threats, and missing people. And there is an update on the uh school threats. So
they recently. recently arrested a s a student um because he was making these false threats. So When when they make a threat like that, they have to take every threat serious and it could take three hours to clear the building. So these one the kids get f the students get frustrated because they get upset. Like we have to sit in here for three hours, they don't know if it's real. And um the sheriff's office does does a great job clearing the buildings, but um thankfully they arrested the the kid who who
did that because it takes takes a lot of class time away from the students and a lot of resources for law enforcement. Because they literally for the River Ridge Middle and High School, they have to go to every single door to clear it before they can release those students to make sure the building's safe. So um that is all I have.
Okay. How do you administrat it?
