Um we have the speed camera program, so the representative for that can come forward, please. And discuss the speed camera program. Um before you begin, can you just introduce yourself? Whatever I could please at this time. Good afternoon, it's Captain Thacker with the patrol division of the Annapolis Police Department. Sergeant Wayne from Traffic Safety, Annapolis was foreman. And Captain Amy Miguel, an administrative services captain at you. You may begin. Good afternoon, and thank you, Captain Thacker. Um in reference to this the uh the camera program, uh just some general conversation. Uh in September, we went through a uh a shift in the police department, and Sergeant Prince Wang became the point person in our traffic safety unit that will be leading and uh being the point person for this uh possible expansion expansion of the uh camera program. He has uh some basic information. He's uh he's becoming our residential expert at many of these issues. Uh uh Captain McGues and I have had uh a lot of conversations about this up to and including, and I think we probably need to talk about it in the city law office is also involved in this, is the uh actual contract with one of the vendors that uh the city of Annapolis has uh gone into uh this uh transactional type business relationship, and that would be Red Speed, and through all of the contracts that were available. I think that our city law office indicated on some fair to say some uh deficiencies or timing mechanisms inside of these contracts. Bottom line to all of that, and Amy can uh elaborate a little bit more in detail. Our city law office and Red Speed are in contact with one another, and there's going to be a meeting, I think, within either at the end of this week, possibly early next week to kind of hammer out some final details relative to the contractual nature between the city and our vendor. Um but it and suffice to say where we are with the expansion of the actual program itself. Red speed has been out, and Sergeant Wang can elaborate a little bit more on this. They have uh conducted some uh data studies and uh they did one phase of it. They uh have also finished a second phase, and I think they're in a position where they're actually uh crunching the numbers, I guess you'd say, and we're waiting for a final report back from them.
