Color, irrespective of party affiliation. We are one america. And lets try to act that way. And i close this briefing. Thank you. As that herring comes to a close, lawmakers discussing how the Veterans Affairs department, this is a live hearing getting under way now on cspan 3. If covid19 turned into a pandemic and portions of the United States Health Care System broke down the va may need to come back and ask for additional funds and since then congress has appropriated 17. 2 billion for vhas covid19 Pandemic Response and i was glad to help advocate for that funding. Now im not sure that many of us here on the dais know what to expect during that february hearing nor did we fully grasp the enormity of the Public Health challenges americans would soon face from the pandemic. This is largely because the administration failed to recognize these risks and communicate them to the American Public in advance of the crisis. Here we are a little more than three months later and exactly 90 days

Little bit more than 50 . Some sections have a little bit less than 50 . And that was for december. As of today, june 2020, we have surpassed 50 . Every station in the San Francisco Police Department has more than 50 of their officers trained. It is a hard task to do. When we talk about training and how we get this training going, i know back in 2016 we had a few incidents that pushed this Program Forward and asked the department to look back and see what else we can do to improve the program. And took over the program in 2015, we had 250 officers that were trained in c. I. T. As of right now we have over 1200 officers and 40 hours. I think thats a big statement that the department has done as far as how much we care about our officers providing the training that they need. Not only do we do that every time we do the training but we want to get the best of the best. So a little history on this, we have people that volunteer, and do not get paid to come and train our officers. So honest
