Colleagues any questions . I guess that i would ask a general question, in terms of citywide, i mean, where do you see things in terms of Public Safety right now, are there specific trends . You know we talked earlier about the increase number of robberies, do you see anything else happening that we should be aware of . No, i am sure that as many as the members of the committee are aware as well as the community. We did have a slight increase in gang shootings last summer, which, we addressed in august, that trend, i am happy to report that we did not record any homicides in the month of august due to a lot of the strategies that we discussed earlier. But lately it seems like the robberies have been an issue and we have the strategies in place to address those robberies. Okay, thank you very much. Commander. Sure. Unless there are any questions, why dont we open it up to Public Comment. Is there any member of the public who would like to speak on this item . Seeing none, Public Comment
