Brooks-Powers asks where DOP projects vacancies by the end of next year. First Deputy Commissioner Eusebio says DOP expects to graduate 50 candidates in December and should be fully staffed by fiscal year 2027, accounting for attrition.

Now, the 171, is that inclusive of the two classes that have...

Selvena N. Brooks-Powers

That number is already taken out of this.

Selvena N. Brooks-Powers

Okay.

Selvena N. Brooks-Powers

But you project what the vacancy will be for next year?

Selvena N. Brooks-Powers

Because I know in your statement you had made a comment about that.

Selvena N. Brooks-Powers

So where do you project the vacancy to be at the end of next year again?

Robert Eusebio

So for the record, Rob Lucevia, first deputy commissioner, we are currently looking to graduate 50 candidates in December.

Robert Eusebio

We have several classes simultaneously coming up to next year, so we should be fully staffed at fiscal year 2017.

Selvena N. Brooks-Powers

That's what it was.

Selvena N. Brooks-Powers

Thank you for that clarification.
