Brewer and Ryan discuss NYPD warehouse consolidation

Warehouses.

So I went to the decast warehouse in Queens.

It's large.

It has lots of extra space.

So my question is, how many warehouses does NYPD have?

I've been in the cannabis warehouse.

There's a lot of cannabis in there.

And I just was wondering how many warehouses you have, what the cost is, can you reduce?

So we're actually actively working right now on ideally consolidating some of the warehouses, including the warehouse you're referencing.

The cannabis one.

There are other things there as well, but yes, there is cannabis.

At that facility.

Unfortunately, we did have funding.

In 20 before 2020 to do a full consolidated property clerk which would have taken care of this that funding doesn't do this so we're trying to be creative now and look at

properties in some of the outer boroughs where we think we may be able to

get out of some of the leases that are a problem.

Can you update us on that?

I know you had a fire in one, too, in Brooklyn.

Yes.

So can you update us on warehouses?

I do believe that around the city, all agencies can be consolidating, not just PD, and I think it would save some money.

I think that's a great idea, and we are working closely with DCAS, so I think the best thing would be for us to put together for you an update on what we're doing with DCAS to address the warehouse needs, with exactly the goal you're saying, to have it be more state-of-the-art so we don't have issues,

and then also to consolidate so that we reduce the footprint.

Thank you.
