way are with the with the cold with 19 virus thing changes constantly on We're constantly monitoring it reviewing policies procedures I should say that we have in place from inception to make sure we're gone basis cover the best possible away from officers here are way down to the jail and talk about that at least right to jail You know we looked at that We're trying to figure out the best way to keep that violence from coming in We'll put some procedures in place of time in terms of screening New arrests that were being brought in from all over are counting from the other agencies that here wait counting You know we just continue to look at it We felt like you know I got an idea that was really really one of our staff members Came a really great idea And what we did as a result of that is to clear out of four down and have road jail detention center and um which allows us now any new arrest that comes in time the Wake County jail will automatically go into a separated area Someone of the automatic quarantine Should they be there for a minimum of 14 days Now That's not to say they came in They was screened for viruses They do normally They were to make bond turns release on That's fine But if for some reason they end up have to be there for minimum 14 days than that process that step helps us Helps our medical division help eliminate hopefully the possibility of bringing the virus to Wake County Jail And at that point person after those 14 days could be then moved around safely we believe to the other population became this Oh we also have formed what kind of shirts Officers Crisis team That's the internal team to help deal with the concerns of our staff Employees are members here in service I was as you know we weigh about over 1200 strong together So that's that's quite quite a bit of science foreign agency And you know everyone has questions or concerns about you know possible contamination Being around those who may have been around someone who has got it feels like that may have it So that team is in place to help with screen about employees now staff to make sure that if they feel like they've had any contact with anyone steps and what measures to take to make sure that they have not been contaminated or they're not gonna be contaminated one else So that's something that river proud of It's going very well Members have been calling with any questions or concerns that they have also way Look at the executive wars ever good A lacrosse state for my government Oh down Thio trying to measure chairman off county commissions You know Well costume again looking trying to make sure that we're falling reputations off orders and making sure that we're not opening ourselves up for contamination Making sure that I stabbed my employees so way made a modification to UM civil process which was helped by the court system on the Bullitt County courts and judges and to help kind of slow down the civil process that has been filed Kind of pushing it back which live helps keep traffic down A simple process Division here asshole today has not had one single I'm a process to come in to be filed so that's happened with cause of keeping social distance and keeping the area clear from the virus So with that we're going to take another step along this again There's a left too to protect that can't protect the members of this office on protect the public from contamination or bring it into our building on protecting our staff We are going to factor today We'll start on tomorrow We're going to temporarily suspend the Post Implement Service's I know that's going to cause some issues but it's not emergency situation where you will not tell you can no longer get principal mitts off the beer The purchase Well what we are doing is trying to stay in line with with efforts keeping that virus out of this building and we're going to do that on take another look at it on April The 31st is gonna be a temporary postponement day for those service is that too will give us time to process with Numerous applications have come in over the last week numerous and to the point where it's 250% increase in those applications to put weapons were back long back in the back I'm not sticking I'm pretty sure The cooker court It's probably back with background checks So we've got to do something first and foremost to make sure that we keep that virus I was building so effective today Starting tomorrow our post implement Service's will be suspended until April 30 1st I have with me today is Lieutenant Sefton who is going to come and give us a few numbers about this effort while we're doing it Hey is over Pistol Mint service is on He's gonna be able to help us further Understand while this move is necessary it's got Sefton I'm

chicken chief justice for giving us what we need to be able to do that Well you know we've been looking at way anticipated going either way I can't say that numbers in the jail is down by 100 a lot I had to do with effort that comes from the court system as well as us of the law enforcement in the county looking at what needs to be actually arrested in bond into custody as opposed to maybe citing released So a combination of all those efforts of the court actually letting making it to where we could release a low level rest Now finished that in that just don't have the money to be released on bond So all those efforts have come to play the words reduced number of jail by 100 100 or so right now And we're looking to make sure that we're doing our part Thanks so much Thank you
