Next on the agenda, Brad Boone. Question or a doctor? They're my situation. OK, so you're good. OK, thank you. OK, items for consideration. I have in that. Mark that. I have them in that one. OK, Department of Reports. Prosecutors, Sam Archer. OK, I'm going to come up here and talk to you guys. I'm going to give them a bill. And then we get a call. Yeah, and just try to you guys in that extra vacation time. I was planning on asking for something not that I believe the wires got crossed, where we didn't get it to you early enough. So I guess I'll be doing a two-step request. I'll leave the foundation tonight, next month. I'll come in here and ask for the official part of it then. So I was informed by IT. I was about a month or so ago that we're basically out of storage. So back in 2019, about 230 terabyte servers for all of our discovery the way we do evidence. And since then, in the end, as we're mid to all where they require all the body camera footage or officers, so and so forth, it's a lot of body camera that just keeps going and adding up. And I think I was told it was either 56 or 59 terabytes where we were out on that. And that's not going to get any better. It's just going to continuously keep climbing. And we were in some issues as well within the office of being so lean staff that we just don't have time to dedicate to finding every little piece of discovery in the ways that the departments are turning them into us. Because every department that we have, the police department, the ice turns in evidence in a different way. And I've looked at this system for about three years now, but I've always kicked it to the curb just because the process so expensive, there's just no way that I was ever going to be able to afford it, or justify it. And the Indiana Prosecutor Union Attorney's Castle this year entered into an agreement with the axon platform to where, basically, it's going to give us about $26,000 a year reduction off of the process on it. So it makes it more possible for us to get into that. With that being said, I've got the whole staff trained on it. Got their feedback on it. Talked to a couple of the department heads as well. Got their feedback on it. And I think it's going to eliminate the need for me coming here and saying, I've got to have two, maybe three more people at the end of this, because we're starting to lose important parts of cases because we're just not on top of the discovery like we need to be. And there's things that are getting biased, and it gets excluded, and now we can't go to trial with that particular evidence. Additionally, it's going to give us the capabilities to when we do go to trial to edit audio and video recordings. That way we can give those in as a piece of evidence as well. And it's going to help streamline preparing for cases, doing award searches, so on and so forth. But it's just as much as I'd used this word or robust way to handle that evidence. So the quote that I got was going to be for the remainder of the year, starting June 1st to the end of the year, was give my, no pet out here, 9,387, if I remember right.
