You know we deal with a lot of bad things in law enforcement so anytime we can take a step away from that helping young kid out we we would love to do that how many people support in this.
We had about 3040 people that actually were involved in the planning process which also included -- -- with wings and obviously.
There's a lot of planning has to go into it because we got to make sure that safety and security protocols -- in place because we don't want you know citizens to mistake the scenarios -- real life events.
