We are on resolution 354. [clears throat] 104 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:48,320 And this is something when it was presented to us, we all felt that there 105 00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:53,839 was incredible value to it. Uh, this is basing of the F-35 fighter jet at the 106 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:57,839 177. Uh, we'd like to welcome the commander and the staff that's here. Mr. 107 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:02,320 I'm going to turn this over to you. Absolutely. Uh, Colonel Robbins, if you 108 00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:07,680 don't mind coming up. Uh, Colonel Cooper and Chief Master Sergeant Lee. So, 109 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:12,560 Colonel Cooper, uh, Colonel Robbins is our wing commander out there at the 110 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:17,440 177th. And then we have Colonel Cooper, 177 deputy commander, and then, uh, 111 00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:22,123 command sergeant command chief uh, Lee. So, two of the three, I won't point out 112 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:25,519 the person that doesn't live in EHT, but [laughter] 113 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:30,639 the other two do live here. So this this whole uh procation and and I mean the 114 00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:34,720 resolution is so much more important because we have the community in these 115 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:38,800 leadership roles. They're here, they work here, they're employing people, 116 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:43,040 they're bringing the e economic value to this area and what more can we do to 117 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:47,200 support them? This is what we can do to support them. Support our people doing 118 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:51,519 the mission out there like humanitarian mission and stuff for the state when 119 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:56,480 they get called or for the nation. So, um, thank you. Thank you for being 120 00:12:53,040 --> 00:13:00,480 residents of the DHD. And, um, if I >> Yes. Yes, your [laughter] honor. Sorry. 121 00:12:58,959 --> 00:13:04,720 So, just a couple questions for people that may not know though, uh, Colonel 122 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:08,320 Robbins, um, like what is the 177 Fighter Wing? What What do they do? What 123 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:13,200 does everybody do there? >> Okay. Yeah. Real quick, I'd like to 124 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:19,040 start out with thank you. Huge thank you uh for uh the civic leaders and all your 125 00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:24,720 constituents uh here in Garbage Township that really support us. Uh we're around 126 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:31,040 1,200 strong out of the base and as Mr. Ireland said we are probably around 30 127 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:34,720 say 35% of that reside here in EHD. So it's a significant footprint. We're 128 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:39,040 right we're actually probably threearters of the way surrounded by EHD 129 00:13:36,639 --> 00:13:45,600 as well. Uh so there's a lot of call outs for uh mutual aid assistance or you 130 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:50,720 know whether that's fire or uh police uh support that that that goes both ways on 131 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:55,920 and off the base. So I I'll talk a little bit about our mission. We're 132 00:13:52,560 --> 00:14:02,560 we're a we're one of 14 Air National Guard fighter units that mans a 247 133 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:06,079 alert site. Uh that's that's we are doing that because our geographic 134 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:12,560 location we're kind of nestled right in between DC, New York and Philadelphia. 135 00:14:09,839 --> 00:14:18,000 So it allows us to respond to any uh I describe it uh easiest is you know we're 136 00:14:15,519 --> 00:14:23,120 the airborne 911 on call. You know what what we're the equivalent of a police 137 00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:28,399 officer uh here on the street up in the air. And then we also have a uh the uh 138 00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:34,720 state and local mission which is disaster response. think of, you know, a 139 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:39,199 supertorm to Sandy or uh pandemic uh response or whatever it may be. Uh we 140 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:43,760 have the ability to respond that way as well. And then then probably what you 141 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:48,959 hear the most is we have an aviation package that's around 350 strong that 142 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:53,839 deploys about every two years uh anywhere in the globe. So they'll deploy 143 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:58,480 from you know four to six months to go support uh combatant commanders across 144 00:14:56,079 --> 00:15:02,079 the world as part of the normal air force. 145 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:06,399 » So not only supporting the state mission but supporting the national mission as 146 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:12,079 well overseas and anywhere that's needed. Um can you just tell us a little 147 00:15:09,279 --> 00:15:15,519 bit about how the F-35 would come? So if if we're doing this resolution and we're 148 00:15:13,839 --> 00:15:21,360 putting it out there, what does it mean to 177? I think if you guys get the 149 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:25,440 F-35s. Yeah, great question. Um, so why we are especially interested in this is 150 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:31,440 because we are currently flying some of the oldest F-16s out there. So we're 151 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:34,399 flying 86 and 87 model F-16s, which doesn't sound too old, but if you think 152 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:39,360 of, you know, you get a piece of machinery and you you just beat it up a 153 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:44,320 couple times a week, uh, and then keep keep in the air. So 40 years is is a 154 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:49,360 long time. So we we know we have about maybe call it u anywhere from three to 155 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:55,120 six years left on these these aircraft. Then we need to figure out what uh post 156 00:15:52,240 --> 00:16:00,480 F-16 or post what our current jets look like. Uh the F-35 there are plenty of 157 00:15:57,839 --> 00:16:05,040 options out there. The F-35 is the best uh solution. It's the programmatic 158 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:10,079 follow to the F-16. Uh and then that that program is part of the US Air Force 159 00:16:07,519 --> 00:16:15,600 that goes all the way out to like 2085. So, it's a long-term uh enduring 160 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:19,040 mission. We could we could u we could end up in other options, other fighters 161 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:23,600 or other flying missions out there, but they don't they don't give the the base 162 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:27,680 in the community uh part of an enduring program out that far. So, that's why 163 00:16:25,199 --> 00:16:31,920 it's the best solution. They're currently going through basing uh 164 00:16:29,839 --> 00:16:35,519 they're currently going through two basing rounds right now. So, that's why 165 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:40,320 we're specifically interested in that. And the the results of those will come 166 00:16:37,279 --> 00:16:43,680 out uh probably late this fall. And recently we've gotten a lot of 167 00:16:41,839 --> 00:16:48,240 infrastruct the base has gotten a lot of infrastructure. I think uh Congressman 168 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:53,839 Vendrew got it approved for $68 million for a hanger out there. And some of that 169 00:16:51,120 --> 00:17:00,800 stuff kind of plays into the F-35 I guess decision basing correct 170 00:16:56,639 --> 00:17:05,360 » 100%. Uh yeah the the uh single project cap was capped I believe previously at 171 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:11,520 83 million. We did have one project that went up to 87 million versus 86 million. 172 00:17:09,199 --> 00:17:17,600 So we did need the assistance on that. But just to talk about overall military 173 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:22,640 construction going on in the base by by a labor force that's right here in EH 174 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:26,959 for the most part. There's 186 186 million worth of military 175 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:32,480 construction taking place on the base in the next 5 years. So, even today, you 176 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:36,799 drive by our our front gate and uh we're bringing that up to the the latest and 177 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:41,840 greatest security standards to include the uh the forementioned hanger and uh 178 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:45,919 some secure penalties that that have just been outdated that we need to 179 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:51,200 replace on base. >> We had the privilege of being out there, 180 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:55,440 Mr. Ireland, myself and Mr. Castellano a few weeks ago and got an update on some 181 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,760 things out there. And if there is some updating that needs to be done in some 182 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:01,120 of those buildings, there's no doubt about it. But I have to say thank you 183 00:17:59,919 --> 00:18:05,840 for that. >> That was valuable to us. Uh Mr. 184 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:11,360 Castellano was at the tech center. Mr. Hassel was also at the tech center. And 185 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:16,000 then you know Patrick >> one question. How's the for an army guy? 186 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:21,520 I will butcher this for an Air Force guy. Um the train up and retro to train 187 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:26,080 up for these planes when they come in. Is that a long process? Are they pretty 188 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:29,679 compatible to what you're flying now? Probably not, right? 189 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:34,720 » Uh yeah, there is. So there's probably 80% of the equipment we use to work on 190 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:37,919 the airplane is is similar. Uh so there's an equipment piece that comes 191 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:41,440 with the airplane, but then basically everyone that touches the airplane, 192 00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:46,480 whether that's pilots, maintainers, or support personnel, uh the Air Force 193 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:52,480 sends off to a school. Those schools can vary anywhere from uh two months to a 194 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:56,640 year and a half, maybe a year. And then the uh the wing if we were 195 00:18:54,559 --> 00:19:01,360 going through such a transition uh the wing is uh basically taken a knee for 196 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:06,080 around two years to complete that transition before we are uh employed uh 197 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:11,120 worldwide again. >> Sarah if you giving away the jets and 198 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:14,440 you see committee Hudson trying to get a call security 199 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:24,320 I ever got to F16 was their trainer and it would make me stick. Wow, 200 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:28,640 » you can't fly. I got a real experience about the air person that went with the 201 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:31,039 Thunderbirds in the second seat and she'll never be 202 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,880 » experienced. [laughter] All I know is when they hit the wheel on 203 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:39,799 the runway and saw this, I said, "Man, that's that's something. Come on." 204 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:47,200 » Reporter, I'll say no more. 205 00:19:42,799 --> 00:19:51,120 » I I would like to extend an invite to to any of our civic leaders. I I realize 206 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:55,200 you didn't get a chance to come out to the the base last time, but at any time 207 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:58,000 uh you want to come out just just let us know. 208 00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:03,200 » When when I worked at Lance Police Department, I was the mayor's uh driver 209 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:09,798 and bodyguard and um they wanted to fly us to DC in 18 minutes. 210 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:15,000 » You make it to DC in 18 minutes? [laughter] 211 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:15,000 » I told I told I 212 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:21,200 wasn't getting in that. Now the next deployment is going to be 213 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:26,080 the full it's everybody going out next. >> Yeah. The entire wing the US Air Force 214 00:20:23,039 --> 00:20:30,480 is uh we say consuming readiness but they they are uh consuming capacity from 215 00:20:28,799 --> 00:20:34,240 the Air National Guard a lot differently now. Before we would just send our 216 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:39,440 aviation package out uh which is around that 350 people uh to to go work for 217 00:20:37,919 --> 00:20:45,520 combatant commanders around the world. Now they're asking for roughly around 218 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:50,320 three quarters of our wing, call it 750 people. So, they're going to take our 219 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:55,200 our our entire leadership team as as well as our administration support team 220 00:20:52,559 --> 00:20:59,679 with the aviation package and go run a a big base uh somewhere. 221 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:03,679 » One last question though. I think it's super important though that people know 222 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:07,200 what's the cost difference between active duty unit and a guard unit that 223 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:11,760 we have here in New Jersey because there's a difference in belief, right? 224 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:17,360 » Uh there is. So, uh this this is the part that uh warms my heart as a 225 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:23,360 taxpayer. it. If you take ly and kind active duty aviation package in the same 226 00:21:19,919 --> 00:21:28,240 airframe versus a guard uh that the the Air National Guard cost about 60% and 227 00:21:26,159 --> 00:21:33,600 that that number varies to the cost of what active duty uh uh cost and a lot of 228 00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:37,039 it is because of what we see here today. We are in the local community. We don't 229 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:41,600 have a big, you know, we don't have a big base housing to support. We don't 230 00:21:38,799 --> 00:21:45,520 have a a a runway that we have to support. We're we're working with our 231 00:21:43,039 --> 00:21:49,679 partners within the community to to bring that capability to us without the 232 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:54,159 cost. >> Well, I know when you do the night 233 00:21:51,039 --> 00:21:58,720 flying, it goes out on social media and people are what's 90% 234 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:03,120 of the people, there's always going to be one, but are thrilled to hear it. 235 00:22:01,919 --> 00:22:06,559 They're thrilled to hear it's like the sounds of freedom is what everybody 236 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:10,240 calls it.

That's from me and the rest of us because I know when Liana was the 240 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:28,960 congressman, it was talked about. Now Andrew is the congressman. You know, 241 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:34,640 hopefully the higher up people in the department of war can't we can't say it 242 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:39,120 can figure it out and say send how many you need to this unit. And and knowing 243 00:22:37,679 --> 00:22:43,600 from my military experience, I mean, just stuff and you need the best stuff. 244 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:49,679 If you're going to be doing real live missions, what you have to do in the 245 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:53,600 future, you need the best equipment. >> I'm trying to figure out committee man. 246 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:59,500 How come those old pieces I saw you, you don't look this good?

Um and we typically 432 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:13,200 and historically have done that through the monthly report that you're provided. 433 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:17,920 Um but I'd like to think since you know for the last couple years I've kind of 434 00:35:15,839 --> 00:35:23,119 enhanced that by making sure I'm here at the meetings and sharing um things that 435 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:26,640 the police department is doing or things that are impacting the community and 436 00:35:24,720 --> 00:35:30,160 things like that. So, this is kind of an addition to that. Uh, there's three 437 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:35,520 things that I'm excited to share with the township committee. I discussed with 438 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:41,119 Tom, uh, Mr. Dantino, business administrator. 439 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:45,839 So, uh, number one is I'm we're excited to announce that we're going to finally 440 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:49,920 partner again with our local FBI office and provide a police officer for a 441 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:55,280 two-year assignment to the FBI safe streets task force. It's been over 20 442 00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:59,119 years since we last did this. and we have deferred those opportunities lately 443 00:35:57,359 --> 00:36:03,359 over the last couple years due to the resource allocation challenges that we 444 00:36:01,119 --> 00:36:08,720 had. Not to say that we don't have them, but it's just more uh breathable right 445 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:13,040 now. Um it's a mutual it's a mutually beneficial relationship strengthens our 446 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:17,040 relationship with the local office, thereby facilitating priority assistance 447 00:36:15,359 --> 00:36:22,240 and criminal investigations either initiated by our agency that touch upon 448 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:27,760 federal areas or vice versa. when an investigation may initiate on their end 449 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:33,040 involving a target or activity in our jurisdiction. It avoids duplication of 450 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:38,480 efforts. Having our officer assigned provides us with a really a front row 451 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:43,599 seat to violent crime plaguing surrounding communities, our community 452 00:36:41,119 --> 00:36:47,119 or crossover activity between our the communities. In fact, we would 453 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:50,880 theoretically, and this is what I I think it's so important, we would 454 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:55,520 theoretically be able to interrupt, if not prevent violent crime from um taking 455 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:58,560 root in our community by being part of this 456 00:36:57,119 --> 00:37:02,560 um >> the quality of police services to our 457 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:07,839 Thank you. Sorry, I'm I'm staying focused. I put it in writing. So, 458 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:11,440 » for me to be a good move, it should be a long time ago. 459 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:16,480 » Um thank you. So, um, the quality of police services 460 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:20,079 to our community is enhanced by having a stronger, I say stronger because we've 461 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:25,119 had a strong working relationship with the FBI. Um, but by having these strong 462 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:28,800 relationships with our federal partners. Three current admin or three current 463 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:33,920 commanders in the police department now, myself, Captain Kennedy, Captain Bergen 464 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:38,160 are all graduates of the FBI National Academy in addition to eight previous 465 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:43,520 commanders and chiefs from our agency who are all now retired. that's dating 466 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:47,440 back to the 1980s. It is our time to give back for the executive leadership 467 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:52,320 training they have made available to us since the late 80s. Any overtime 468 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:56,640 associated with the assignment is borne by vehicle to the assigned officer. The 469 00:37:54,880 --> 00:38:02,240 assigned task force officer is subject to extensive and stringent background 470 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:07,040 investigation where if they pass, which we hope they do, uh they're given a top 471 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:11,680 secret clearance and will have access to classified materials that may affect 472 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:16,640 EHT's area of responsibility. In layman's terms, if there is a terrorist 473 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:21,280 or spy operating in EHT or even in the general area of this county, our TFLO 474 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:27,359 will have the clearance to participate in the investigation and ensuring that 475 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:32,480 the appropriate representation by EHTPD is at the highest levels of our national 476 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:36,880 security apparatus. So, >> honorable officer, 477 00:38:34,720 --> 00:38:40,160 » um, it's going to be a detective. I'm just gonna not say that person's name 478 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,560 because I don't, you know, don't know what their assignments are gonna be. 479 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:49,040 » It's not that yet. So, >> so no, well, it's in the works. Um, 480 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:53,599 » so we they're they should be they will be working in a capacity pending their 481 00:38:51,839 --> 00:38:56,560 background investigation completion probably within the next 482 00:38:54,560 --> 00:39:00,320 » Did they reach out to us? Did you reach them? 483 00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:04,640 » It's been it's been mutual. Um, you know, ever since this goes back to 484 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:09,040 Jessica Weissman, who's has since retired, but it's been one of those 485 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:13,280 things we just didn't have the available resources to give them a person because 486 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:17,520 it's a two-year commitment >> right here. 487 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:23,440 » So, good move. Like I said before, my background, it's we're the biggest 488 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:28,000 department in the t in the county and we this is a good thing. 489 00:39:26,079 --> 00:39:32,960 » I think so, too. Like I said, now we're going to like I think it just makes our 490 00:39:29,839 --> 00:39:37,359 relationship even stronger. And just two recent cases that you're very familiar 491 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:42,000 with where the FBI assets, if we didn't have that relationship, we might not 492 00:39:39,599 --> 00:39:48,079 have um successfully um handled or solved them. And one was 493 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:52,240 the missing juvenile where we used they were able they used their technology, 494 00:39:50,079 --> 00:39:58,560 the surveillance plane that hasn't been used for a missing person case. Um and 495 00:39:56,160 --> 00:40:04,720 also the nature reserve case where they came right in and they were we were able 496 00:40:00,240 --> 00:40:09,680 to um access the technology of cell phone data like within um 24 hours 497 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,680 » right >> which 498 00:40:10,240 --> 00:40:15,280 » no it's a good move without that relationship 499 00:40:13,359 --> 00:40:19,200 who knows if that would have been solved >> and who knows with the young man. 500 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:23,040 » Yes. something. >> How [clears throat] uh how did you rate 501 00:40:20,720 --> 00:40:30,880 this person? >> Um based on their performance 502 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:36,800 in their criminal investigations, um they are their investigations, but no 503 00:40:33,839 --> 00:40:43,680 one really is touched the types of investigations criminals or I'm sorry, 504 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:49,839 drug drugrelated or gunrelated. Um, and they also know because he's he. Okay, I 505 00:40:47,119 --> 00:40:54,960 gave it away. It's a he. Well, we only have he's in the detective bureau so 506 00:40:51,760 --> 00:41:01,440 right now. But anyway, um, really the nature of the investigations he's been 507 00:40:56,560 --> 00:41:05,280 involved in. Um, just top-notch. Some in the most recent case is an 508 00:41:03,359 --> 00:41:11,760 international case that may touch upon cartel activity. And that's the type of 509 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:18,240 person um who's being assigned and in fact they 510 00:41:14,079 --> 00:41:21,359 were recruiting him as well. So and I did check with our labor attorney. 511 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,920 We did not have to have any type of selection process. I know he was here. 512 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,480 There he is. >> There he is. [laughter] 513 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:31,440 » We did not have to have a selection selection process. It could have been by 514 00:41:28,720 --> 00:41:36,240 assignment um because it's not um it's not a promotion and it's an assignment. 515 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:39,440 So >> well done. 516 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:43,760 » Couple holes, right? >> Second thing, in the coming months, uh 517 00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:48,319 our officers will be authorized to wear specialty patches on the right to wear 518 00:41:45,599 --> 00:41:54,560 the uniform shirt. Um the patches will require approval uh first before being 519 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:58,319 worn. And for example, and and I bring this up again because it's out of the 520 00:41:55,920 --> 00:42:02,880 norm. It's not something that previous thing uh was previously entertained. Um 521 00:42:01,359 --> 00:42:08,000 but we're going to do it. Um and I'll give you an example. Um, so the patches 522 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:12,400 they're submitted for, they might represent the fall season specific to 523 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:18,079 Halloween or one for Christmas holidays or who knows, you know, some uh special 524 00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:22,079 occasion. They'll be permitted to use their annual uniform allowance to 525 00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:26,880 purchase these patches and paid for any uniform alterations to display them. So, 526 00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:31,040 it's no additional cost to the township. uh the mere adorment of these specialty 527 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:34,880 patches will be a conversation piece with the youth of our community and just 528 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:39,359 might lighten spirits between an officer and an arrest interaction or anyone for 529 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:43,160 that matter. So I'm going to give you an example. So here's 530 00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:57,280 » so chief in the military we used to do them for morale patches. So every unit 531 00:42:55,040 --> 00:43:00,400 had it and then that's how you signify or whatever just morale patches you 532 00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:03,599 would have a Friday patch compared to whatever 533 00:43:01,119 --> 00:43:06,599 » that's being done in >> around 534 00:43:07,839 --> 00:43:12,079 nationwide I mean I'm sorry >> nationwide 535 00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:17,759 » it's trending trending >> and it's and like uh that's who's the 536 00:43:16,240 --> 00:43:22,000 » No [laughter] 537 00:43:18,720 --> 00:43:25,200 and like I just said um it is also morale I didn't put that in there but 538 00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:30,079 it's a morale things for internally. So, and the 539 00:43:28,079 --> 00:43:32,560 they're excited to do to be able to do that. 540 00:43:30,240 --> 00:43:33,839 » Do you have a design competition for it? I 541 00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:36,240 » was going to say maybe the kids can design something. 542 00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:40,319 » It's funny. The one that Committee van Ellis, Deputy Mayor Ellis is holding was 543 00:43:38,720 --> 00:43:45,960 in fact designed by the person that's being assigned to the [laughter] given 544 00:43:42,720 --> 00:43:45,960 all the 545 00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,910 screw. [laughter] 546 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,119 » These are great. These are great. >> So, 547 00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:57,280 » I know you're right. I think the kids will like this and all that. I think 548 00:43:55,599 --> 00:44:01,680 that's very engaged with our 549 00:44:00,079 --> 00:44:06,079 so they'll be seeing them and it'll be a great conversation piece piece. So, and 550 00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:11,599 then finally, the police department has partnered with Lori Young, the host 551 00:44:07,839 --> 00:44:15,760 producer of News Talk WD Radio um to be featured once a month for the next year. 552 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:19,520 Uh Lori has given us a platform to feature the various functions of our 553 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:23,520 police department with trending topics. This past July, I kicked off that 554 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:28,240 participation by discussing elder fraud on her program and highlighted current 555 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:33,599 cases or past cases, most recent uh cases in hopes that her listeners don't 556 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:37,599 fall victim to the trending scams. Um, in August, Captain Sherry Bergen and 557 00:44:35,599 --> 00:44:42,400 Sergeant Ed Sterns discuss traffic safety topics. In addition, each month, 558 00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:47,440 I'm sorry, each month we'll feature a different unit or people from our agency 559 00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:51,760 to share their areas of responsibility and how it impacts the community at 560 00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:56,480 large. Um, and that includes even our professional staff, not just sworn. So, 561 00:44:53,680 --> 00:45:05,200 we'll have dispatch records, you know, and just kind of be able to impart what 562 00:45:00,240 --> 00:45:10,560 they do and how it impacts our citizens. Um, and she's also, Lori has also 563 00:45:08,319 --> 00:45:15,359 graciously offered us radio time to prepare public service announcements on 564 00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:19,920 important topics or issues to reach a larger audience such as again traffic 565 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:24,160 safety, crime prevention, personal safety, things like that and thinking 566 00:45:21,839 --> 00:45:27,680 outside the box type stuff. So, we're going to be doing that for the next 567 00:45:25,359 --> 00:45:32,036 year's, you know, retro record to July that we did already start without your 568 00:45:29,599 --> 00:45:34,800 permission, but I did it anyway. [laughter] 569 00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:39,119 » I think that's good. Um >> my only request is can you give us a 570 00:45:37,119 --> 00:45:41,599 reminder before it's coming out so we can actually 571 00:45:40,079 --> 00:45:46,319 » Well, we can what we're going to do is we're going to uh we're probably going 572 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:50,319 to they send us for example I have the uh 573 00:45:48,240 --> 00:45:53,359 the recordings from when I was on there and when Captain Bergen and Sergeant 574 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:56,960 Sterns were on there and we're going to probably be able to post them as links 575 00:45:54,960 --> 00:46:02,319 on our website so that way if anyone wants to listen to them. But I think 576 00:46:00,079 --> 00:46:06,319 it's a good thing and again it gives uh there's I'm sure there's a lot of people 577 00:46:04,079 --> 00:46:11,200 that live in EHT that are listeners and it's not and we 578 00:46:08,720 --> 00:46:15,680 all know that not all not only EHT people uh travel through EHT so it's all 579 00:46:14,319 --> 00:46:18,880 over. So just >> especially the one that you did on elder 580 00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:22,079 fraud I know in the past and we'll probably be doing it again. We did some 581 00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:25,680 public meetings on that. We've done them at Village Grand. Yes. 582 00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:31,040 » Um I think those are very important to do. So 583 00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:34,720 » I hope that it'll it'll hit some people that maybe don't show up for those 584 00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:38,160 things and maybe you know there's >> they can just listen at their own 585 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:39,920 convenience. I think that's fabulous. >> So 586 00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:44,087 » thank you. >> Thank you. That's that's a lot. 587 00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:46,107 » Is that five minutes?

I just wanted to point out, you know, I I spent 28 years at the 706 00:54:44,319 --> 00:54:52,400 technical center and uh much of that time, Paul knows, I was involved with 707 00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:59,599 things on the director staff and we have many organizations out there. We have 708 00:54:55,359 --> 00:55:05,440 the FAA, we have obviously the 177th, we have the Coast Guard, we have the TSA, 709 00:55:02,240 --> 00:55:10,800 we have the airport itself. And all of those organizations, what they have in 710 00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:15,760 common is they have vital national missions. And they also play an 711 00:55:13,359 --> 00:55:21,760 important part in protecting our community and in providing jobs and 712 00:55:19,119 --> 00:55:26,880 employment in our community. So, anytime we can help any of the organizations at 713 00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:31,119 the tech center like we did tonight, we should do so. I'm glad we did that. The 714 00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:36,240 second thing I would just wanted to report on um the economic development 715 00:55:34,319 --> 00:55:40,800 commission um [clears throat] met in August. We uh did not meet in July, but 716 00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:48,400 we had a great meeting in August to start off our 26 27 year. and uh we 717 00:55:46,240 --> 00:55:56,079 decided collectively we were going to place uh as our number one focus area 718 00:55:51,680 --> 00:56:01,280 the Cardiff Circle um and the um Harbor Square storm wall sort of complex that 719 00:55:58,799 --> 00:56:06,000 whole area to take a look at what can be done. There's a lot of uh study that's 720 00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:11,119 been done already that we want to look at. We want to take a look at all of it. 721 00:56:08,240 --> 00:56:14,640 See what else we might uh need to study and let's let's see what we can do out 722 00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:18,400 there. Do you have all the information from DCA? 723 00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:23,880 » We had we met with the state and then we've had Yeah. The senator's been fals 724 00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:34,160 36 extensions, >> but it looks like the work they're doing 725 00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:39,359 isn't part of the improvements. Some light changes out there, but we talked 726 00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:44,960 about and the cross works. Yeah. But and they're not done as I last night I was 727 00:56:42,559 --> 00:56:49,119 out there. There's a lip, but it does need to be looked at at both times. 728 00:56:48,004 --> 00:56:51,440 [laughter] >> Yep. 729 00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:56,000 » And it's already in a redevelopment area. So, 730 00:56:53,839 --> 00:56:57,760 we just need people to come in. >> Yep. 731 00:56:56,319 --> 00:57:00,000 » And we also need the direct connection on the 36. 732 00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:06,240 » Yep. >> That's right. 733 00:57:02,240 --> 00:57:10,640 » I mean, maybe that the lane for 36. It's better because you are in your lane, not 734 00:57:08,240 --> 00:57:14,880 trying to cross over what's on tilt. So they work, you know, but there needs to 735 00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:20,440 be a lot of work. >> Perfect. Very good. Thank you, 736 00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:20,440 » Mr. 737 00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:28,160 T said. I mean, we hope to have some improvements. That's the main commercial 738 00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:33,760 district of the town. So on the plate, so we can go for a long time. And uh 739 00:57:31,119 --> 00:57:39,119 good luck. I hope it happens. I mean the commercial places don't play unless 740 00:57:36,319 --> 00:57:47,200 there's a reason to come and hopefully they'll come. Um the 177 um we've heard 741 00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:52,000 about this how long be 20 years not to talk about military we watch it 742 00:57:49,359 --> 00:57:57,599 on TV whatever channel you prefer uh they are a big part of our defense of 743 00:57:54,960 --> 00:58:03,359 where we live they have responsibility like the colonel said for Washington New 744 00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:08,640 York and probably Baltimore okay and they can get there in minutes 745 00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:12,559 like he said he 911 for anything in the air and they do scramble more times. 746 00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:17,440 It's hard to believe those F-16s have been out there long, but hopefully 747 00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:21,200 they'll get to 35s and we'll change. It's a good airport. It's a nice runway, 748 00:58:19,599 --> 00:58:25,359 right, Pete? It's a long runway. >> 11 749 00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:30,160 shuttle way back to cut it back, but it's it's a good runway out there and 750 00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:35,200 it's been upgraded over the years. Just wish Dominic and he left. I can't wish 751 00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:39,359 you good luck on football, but um we're going to have a lot of people out there 752 00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:44,000 for football and hopefully the field that we have tried in various locations 753 00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:48,319 in the township is a good investment and stays in good condition. And I wish 754 00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:52,720 everybody a happy Labor Day. And one other thing when when um Mr. uh Patrick 755 00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:57,440 spoke about the schools and school buses, we're doing a lot of road work 756 00:58:55,680 --> 00:59:02,799 now. The county is doing road work on Zion. Counties out on Meline Road. if we 757 00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:08,000 were going to be on our side streets between now and the end of the year of 758 00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:13,599 taking care of road work. So that helps make a confusion for the people and 759 00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:18,000 buses moving around our township. Um the detours out where I live won't mention 760 00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:23,280 any other names of Zion Road, Asbury Road, it's a pain in the neck because 761 00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:27,359 you got to go miles to do around. So the thing is hopefully the county will get 762 00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:31,920 that done and it'll be in good shape. That's it. 763 00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:38,480 » That's it.

We just need to slow down and 770 01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:15,200 respect the traffic. Um, you know, cuz it's bad out here. Est 771 01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:20,480 traffic people just ignore signs, you know, and I always talk about myself 772 01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:26,160 police officer. A lot of time police on the remains and we have to like I said 773 01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:30,960 set example when we I was in Man City you know it's like you pull people over 774 01:00:28,079 --> 01:00:36,160 and then you don't use speed. So it's like um let's let's respect the speed 775 01:00:33,839 --> 01:00:41,359 and uh we don't want any injuries or anything like that. And for all the kids 776 01:00:39,119 --> 01:00:45,827 that had to go back to school yesterday, don't do no homework all week. 777 01:00:43,807 --> 01:00:45,827 [laughter] 778 01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:52,640 » So the teacher get to get adjusted back to school.

I want to give a shout out to the bus drivers.
