assistant deputy chief example that would be because chief ramone will be retiring. and he has work in the this department since 1991, i believe. and -- we are certainly going to miss him. he is in the going yet. but i believe in june we will be losing him and he has been an asset to this department. and to this administration. >> so. thank you, ramone. appreciate it. chief. okay. you can clap. >> [applause] you guys can dot waves up to you. you may have seen other task force 3 in the park advertising for more members. we have several k-9 team usa
