00:00The executive order is clear. The president has requested MPD services, and our home rule charter outlines the process.
00:10The president designated Attorney General Bondi as his proxy to request services through me.
00:19But does the Attorney General have the authority to implement changes in MPD or just request changes?
00:25The executive order is pretty clear, and so is the law. The president has the authority by virtue of the statute to request services.
00:36Our organizational chart, how we do business, how we fund the police, how we make changes, none of that has changed.
00:42What I'm focused on is the federal surge and how to make the most of the additional officer support that we have.
00:53We have the best in the business and MPD and Chief Pamela Smith to lead that effort and to make sure that the men and women who are coming from federal law enforcement are being well used.
01:06And that if there's National Guard here, that they're being well used and all in an effort to drive down crime.
