00:00Okay, moving to the Office of Community Safety. The executive plan included transfers of funding from existing departments and new
00:07funding to create the Office of Community Safety. Have any programs shifted from the NYPD's purview to OCS?
00:14No.
00:15To what extent is NYPD engaged with the administration and what specific roles and coordination will occur between NYPD and
00:23OCS?
00:24Those conversations have not yet commenced.
00:29So the administration's announcement of approximately $260 million for the creation of OCS, there have been no conversations with NYPD
00:38about the agency and who will be doing what?
00:41Not at this time. I mean, I expect that those conversations will begin to occur.
00:47But as I mentioned before, in response to the last question, no programmatic responsibility is being shifted from the NYPD
00:59to OCS at this time and none that I know of going forward.
01:03So in your view, so then what will the purview of OCS be?
01:07The OCS has many different offices, some of which have existed in this city for a while, in other agencies
01:18that have all been consolidated.
01:20And I want to be clear, our work with those offices continues and so that work certainly has not stopped
01:29to the extent that the NYPD has worked with those offices in the past, that continues to this day.
01:36But we haven't had strategic conversations about what's going to shift from the NYPD to OCS because nothing is planned
01:45at this time to be shifted.
