Thank you. Got to get that story down to two minutes. [laughter ]sounds interesting, but you have to shorten it down. [laughter ]. Next speaker. Michael phillips the president of jamestown, and i wanted to thank everyone for hearing this today. Were very excited about this project. Throughout jamestowns history we have focused on largely on inclusionary projects, locally made products in this retail space. If you look at our projects that were cited at Chelsea Market and pond city market, the majority of the retailers, food providers and makers are local. I think our track record and our reputation in San Francisco is very important, being that we most all of the people here from our company today including myself, are locally from the bay area, and San Francisco. So i think as we endeavor to follow this process with the port and the city, we want to deliver on the things that are important to you all, as well as to the community atlarge. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. Is there an
My reaction to it. I have been on a number of different venues and programs, so keep your eyes open. Host do you want to talk about your relationship with fox news and some of the viewers concerns . Guest i was a fox news country bitter until a few months ago contributor until a few months ago when we mutually decided since theres a possibility i might be running for office, he probably would be good for me to sever that tie. Do i still appear on their from time to time . Of course, but i appear on other stations to. When you are a country bitter, used to when you are a conservator, you have to have an exclusivity clause. Host democrat line, charlie, good morning. Caller i noticed you touched on this a little bit earlier, but i was reading an article yesterday over 50 of the School Children now are living in poverty families living in poverty. I know you say everybody is going to be having great inventions are making millions of dollars, but how are they going to do it when they are no
During my 23 years as a Police Officer from the oldschool you didnt see that but now you do. You see that probably because of social media and more exposures to a bad health can do to you. I think also young officers are more apt to go for psychological help if they need it. Again the oldschool probably not so much. One of the sad things i have seen in my research into ptsd is that when they look up a mortality studies of Police Officers, Police Officers compared to the general population die at a younger age. Some 10 years younger on average than those in the general population. So we are seeing greater numbers of death of cardiovascular disease among younger officers which is kind of surprising and kind of shocking. The thing you should understand about stress is its cumulative as you are continually exposed to trauma day after day and stress day after day eventually is going to wear your system down. Some of our Research Shows for example the body becomes this regulated under chroni
We have one on skype. Well start with chief zachery, the Public Safety director woodway, texas, and immediate past president of the International Association of chiefs of police. Yost, good to have you. Thank you, sir. Thanks for inviting me to testify today. My name is yost zachery, immediate past president of the im sorry i wasnt able to join you in person today. I intended to but my flights were canceled. I began Law Enforcement dispatcher woodway in 1979 and im still there today and currently serve as a chief and a director of the Public Safety department. One of my main duties as a chief is to ensure safety and wellbeing of my officers is there. This means making sure they have the proper training and equipment they need to do their job safely so they can return home each and every day to their loved one. During my time as president iecp, officer safety and wellness was one of my top priorities. Its always been a top priority of iecp. It is the position of that organization that n
Im proud to be a part of. Its jointly under the auspices of the cops office and the bureau of justice assistance. This is done tremendous good in training more than 15,000 officers across this country. Finally, hes increased the federal grant money thats gone to groups like ours and others who are focused on officer safety and wellness. Those are just some great examples of the leadership hes provided. I dont think its any coincidence that as a result of all of those efforts, the last two years now, weve seen fewer Law Enforcement fatalities than any year for the last 50. Thats a great credit to leadership and to this group and so many others focused on this issue. A lot more work clearly needs to be done. I look at canada as a great role model for us here in the United States. Ive attended their memorial service, two out of the last three years. Two years ago, they honored all the officers in canada who had been killed in the line of duty. One officer during a 12month period killed in
