Joseph asks about crisis intervention training and school metal detectors

Okay, in your crisis intervention team training, the numbers I was for uniform members in communication skills, de-escalation, and behavior and restorative justice, of course.

So we have approximately...

3,384 personnel trained.

In de-escalation, restorative justice.

We received a couple of calls around your metal detectors are not working at schools and students are being late.

How are you addressing that?

So we know of three incidents that occurred this year thus far.

The school safety executive leadership responded and spoke to all three principals.

We have now have a in-house training of our agents to help mitigate if a scanner breaks within 30 minutes, we have agents

rectifying the issue and as well as now there's a direct notification and investigation done once we are aware that a school is late because of scanning issues or personnel.

Based on the feedback that you've given me about this specific thing in the past, I am pleased to tell you that we have ordered 40 new scanners

to replace some of the old equipment that we have because it is not acceptable to be late for a school because of scanning.

And we received 10 of those scanners on Friday, last Friday.

Okay, good.

And what's the timeline to put them in place for them, or are they already in place?

We're working on that now with a deal we're working with Mark and our executives and school safety to procure where exactly they're going to go or replace.

This council had passed the bill for 988 to be in New York City public schools.
