Consultant who was working with us literally begged the City Administrators Office to please give justice a home in the City Administrators Office. And if i may interrupt you, why did you not try to affiliate with department of technology . For two reasons. One reason was that when justis lived in the department of technology before the Mayors Office became the executive sponsor, it never got priority. We went through a rotating cast of heads of department of technology who saw their priorities and interests elsewhere. And so justis was always the last thing that they addressed. And the second reason has to do with governance. The department of technology was to provide technical support. Technical staff. Technical expertise. And when we thought about it, we thought it would be much better for d. T. To be treated as a vendor with the executive sponsor and justis as their client.

I think we can all agree that these are among the most important criminal justice issues facing San Francisco today.
