Public Safety Committee Tue, Sep 15, 2026 · Public Safety Committee https://santafeminutes.space/meeting/1155-public-safety-committee-sep-15-2026 == Executive Summary == The Public Safety Committee convened on September 15, 2026, to discuss a range of public safety matters, including crime statistics, police staffing, and event coordination. Interim Chief Ben Valdez reported significant decreases in various crime categories for August, and highlighted successes in narcotics and special victims unit operations. The new Drone First Responder (DFR) program was soft-launched during Zozobra and Fiestas, proving valuable for incident response. Discussions also focused on improving communication regarding road closures for large events and better coordination between event organizers and city departments to prevent scheduling conflicts. The Regional Emergency Communications Center (RECC) provided an update on call statistics and staffing, noting an increase in personnel. The committee also addressed concerns about e-bikes and trail regulations, and the potential for adding a Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) representative to the Public Safety Committee. The ongoing police chief interviews were also a key topic, with committee members encouraged to provide feedback on finalists. Several action items were assigned, including improving communication about parade routes, requesting presentations on quality assurance and annual training plans, and the committee chair advocating for the Public Safety Committee to lead the reintroduction of the ARU program. The committee also expressed gratitude to public safety personnel for their efforts during recent community events. == Key Decisions == - Approved the agenda by unanimous roll call vote. - Approved the minutes from 08/18/2026 by unanimous roll call vote. == Motions & Votes == - Approval of the agenda — Passed (unanimous roll call vote) - Approval of the minutes from 08/18/2026 — Passed (unanimous roll call vote) == Public Comment == Several committee members praised the police and fire departments for their handling of recent events like Zozobra and the Fiesta parade, noting an "incident-free weekend" and improved safety. One committee member expressed frustration with event organizers for scheduling events that conflict with long-standing traditions, suggesting a lack of common sense in scheduling. It was also noted that new community members might be unaware of long-standing event traditions and associated road closures, leading to frustration. == Topics == - Crime Statistics - Police Department Operations - Public Safety Events - Drone Program (DFR) - Speed Cameras - 911 Dispatch Services - Police Chief Selection - E-Bikes and Trails - Suicide Prevention - Mounted Patrol == Full Transcript == Alright. Can we prepare to get started, please? I don't know if Member Crawford is online. Hey, Chief. Alright. Just want to make sure. I think we're waiting for Cam to connect.

Okay. Motion passes. There's no presentations, no action items, so we'll move on, no discussion items. We'll do, we'll move on to Interim Chief Ben Valdez so he could give us his update. Thank you, Madam Chair and committee members. Just a real quick recap on our data that we have. Again, we've had another successful month in August. We had a 20% decrease in homicides, 42% decrease in robberies, 47% decrease in motor vehicle thefts, 70% decrease in arsons, 7% decrease for sex offenses, 32% decrease in burglaries and breaking and entering offenses, 11% decrease in larcenies, and assault offenses are down by 13%, which is something that's looking really good. Our call times are improving. We did have a slight increase for our dispatch to arrival for our priority ones by 9%. One thing that we did have over this last month for a few updates, we had eight police officers finish their field training, so they were added to our ranks as a sole resource right before we started Zozobra, which was very helpful. Our detectives had a great month last month with our narcotics unit. They had a case organically started through controlled buys. They were able to get a search warrant for residents, and they had a significant seizure of narcotics, firearms, and currency as well. Through that investigation, that offender was identified to be a non-US citizen. So within our policy and the guidance of the council resolution concerning notification to immigration, we did contact immigration. And I learned earlier, or actually late last week, that they have picked him up and removed him, and he's in the process of removal from the country because he's a dangerous offender. In addition to that, our special victims unit, they do a lot of investigations for crimes against children, and they also do a lot of internet crimes against children cases, especially solicitation cases of children. They had a really great arrest last week of an offender. This person hails from Houston, Texas. Not only did he engage in discussions with an undercover detective to commit crimes against a child or a person that was a child here in Santa Fe, he also had an arrest warrant for doing that same thing in Illinois. So our detectives and our officers swiftly brought justice to his front door, took him into custody, and we're moving forward with that. We're going to be speaking with our partners at the US Department of Justice to see if they can adopt the case federally because he did come across state lines. All in all, everyone's been doing a fantastic job. We had a really great Fiesta since Zozobra. Our motorcycle officers did a great job. The most exciting we had all weekend was a horse that got loose by the Nevada Center. I say that's a good case for us to look at a horse-mounted unit at some point. Got it. Our motors officer did a pretty good job. We had two of them, Art Mays and Steven Lopez. When they were by Fiesta Street and Priscilla Peralta, they tried to get the horse to slow down, and that horse was not having it and knocked them both off the motorcycles, which was quite a sight to see. They're both okay, but their concern was, one, pedestrians, they were getting ready for the parade, and secondly, all the vehicle traffic and the congestion downtown. So the horse actually got a police escort to go view our downtown area. They weren't necessarily chasing it. They were trying to create space, slow down vehicles, and give it a bit of room. They were able to corral it onto Canyon Road, and I think he just wanted to go to a nice shop up there to go shopping. But everyone was okay. The owners were able to come and get the horse. But it's a good way for us to kind of kick off Fiestas, or the Fiesta parade. But everything went off without a hitch. We had a great time. Really enjoyed a lot of interactions that our folks had downtown. Our folks throughout the city were also providing a lot of service to our community, keeping the community safe. We had no major incidents this entire weekend, which is pretty amazing. But that's just a testament to the work that they're doing. We did a soft launch for DFR. So we have the drone docks that were approved by council. They've been installed. We did a soft launch for Zozobra. We have three sites within the city. One is by Fort Marcy. One is in the Midtown area by our police office, by Nava Elementary School, and one's in our police headquarters building. Each one of those sites has two docks. Those drones, we've been flying them, working out the kinks. And for Fiestas, they came in really handy for us. Even with our call handling, they've been able to handle low-priority calls. They've been able to address concerns where we have high call volume, we could send an officer out there once dispatched to start getting information to size it up. So we're looking to start moving the rest of the staff that we're able to move at this point, probably things end of this week. They'll be assigned to our real-time operation center that we're standing up. So so far, it's showed a lot of promise. We're working with the fire department to get their staff in there as well, so they could start sitting in the real-time operation center. We start collaborating, but the technology is pretty amazing. It's really a game changer. Our officers were able to see how valuable that tool was firsthand on Sunday because there was an incident at the mall where someone, a security guard at the mall, went to the bus stop, knew the police were coming, changed his clothes, then he got a bike and went on the bike trail. Said he started heading over towards Big Sky, and we were able to set a good perimeter and get him in custody and arrest him for that offense. Had it not been for that asset, again, changing clothes, going on the bike trail, we would have had no chance of success, being able to hold that person accountable. So our folks are doing a lot of great work. Right now, we're kind of in our lull until we get to Dia de Muertos, but we're going to lick our wounds and kind of rest up and get ready for the next month. I'll stand for any questions if you're ready. Yes. I just wanted to say, the drone operator who filmed the whole horse chase did some really excellent drone. I don't know if you saw the video because they didn't show the part where they got knocked down. But yeah. That wasn't on there. That, and I just wanted to say, I was going to ask you about, we used to have a mounted patrol years and years ago. Right? Madam Chair, Member Bolcher, yes, we did. At that point in time, and I was just speaking with one of our retirees, Lieutenant Chris Archuleta. Mhm. And he was just telling us how invaluable it was for a crisis situation on the plaza with that horse-mounted unit, especially with crowd control and mobility. That is something that we certainly are interested in. That is something that we'd have to explore how we're going to fund it. Once we get our staffing numbers up, that's something that I'm, I have a great deal of interest in to see how we can make that happen. I see a lot of great success in other cities, including the city of Albuquerque, where they've utilized them in retail areas, open space areas, special events. Yeah, I think too, it's a great community engagement resource. People love to come up, see the horses, talk to the officers, and it's really great. I was going to say, sometimes high-tech is good, and sometimes low-tech is good when it comes to law enforcement. The other thing I was going to ask you, because I've had a lot of questions about the speed cameras. What's the buffer? Because I hear people saying five, seven, 10 before you actually get a— Thank you, Member Walter. So we put that information up on our social media page. We're trying to let people know what those parameters are. So there's two different parameters. If it is in a construction zone or a school zone while it's in effect, anything over five miles an hour will be a violation for the automated enforcement device. Now, any other location outside of a school zone and construction zone, it's anything over 10 miles an hour is a violation. We've been very vocal on where we're placing them. We let people know where they're at. One thing that was, at least a significant thing, was our vendor let us know that in Santa Fe, having them damaged the way they were within eight hours was pretty significant. Never happened anywhere else for them. But they're doing their thing in the contract and making those repairs. But we want people to know where they're at because what we have seen is a change in behavior. Even though they're giving out warnings, we're already seeing behavior change. Even though we don't have the automated sound enforcement up yet, we're seeing a change in behavior of folks that let us know, like, we're not hearing the revenue into so much in this area of where we have these devices. So that's a big part of what we're trying to do is just change behavior. Again, it's not about trying to hit everyone's pocketbook, but for those that don't want to change behavior, then that's going to be a consequence of their actions. Okay. And our— Go ahead. Next question. This just happened to be something that I experienced, but it raises a little bit a larger question. During the parade, when was it? Sunday? Yep. There was also a full house at the Lensic, and you couldn't get in. The Benson Center was impossible parking. You couldn't get in. And the streets were also blocked with Lensic parking. So the, actually, the concert started late as of the fact that people just were coming late. So not that issue so much as how do you coordinate with major activities that are occurring simultaneously, potentially with some conflict? Madam Chair, Member Liz Woods, so one thing we try to do is make sure that folks in the downtown know, especially the business owners and people who are operating businesses, know when these road closures are going to occur. We let them know that the parade routes, what the closure duration is going to be so they can let their customers know. And this was a concern that was also shared by some of the hotel managers because they either didn't know or they forgot that this event happens every year, like clockwork, same time, same place, you name it. But one thing we're going to do next year is we're going to make sure that we put out more communication, I think, more in advance so people know a month in advance, "Here's where the parade route's going to be. Here's the times," so they could plan ahead. So if they do need to reschedule an event or they need to make alternative plans for folks to get to the venue, we do have some roads that are shut down for emergency situations. So if we have to do an evacuation, we want to make sure everyone's safe, because not everyone's going to be at the parade or participating in those events. They may be going to other events. But I think communication is going to be key. Let people know, "Here's what's going on. Here's the times," so we don't cause undue frustration, and people can get lots of business and not have much of any issue. Did you have a coordinating team that knows what major other events are going on at the same time? We do. So our traffic section manages that stuff. But if it's a private event, like, let's say, at the, they may or may not know about that. But if it's an event that is permanent through the city, they have a list of those items. They can see when they're occurring at the same time, and we can plan ahead. So we try to do, and the same thing went for the Fiesta parade. Hours before, we let people know road closures will be in effect at 1:00. The Fiesta parade will be closed. Make prior arrangements for the closure so you're aware of it. We attached a map. People have that information, and we're hoping them to get the word out. But I think we also need to do a lot of work with our businesses to let them know as well, like, "Hey, expect these road closures, especially in this corridor," because there were some people that were a bit frustrated because they didn't know what's going on, and they're stuck right in the middle of a huge parade. And the way the parade works is once the lead part of the parade gets back to the starting point, that's when the tail leaves. It's pretty much enclosed, and it stays around. And as that tail goes, then we start opening up traffic from the backside of it so people can start from. At one point, it's, or at least about five minutes, pretty much it is all enclosed by the entire parade until we can make some work. I was going to say, I don't know if there's a city, what department in the city would have to work with, you know, the, maybe tourism and, you know, Randy Rand or them, but the Fiesta, both Fiesta parades and Zozobra are 100 years old, and they, I mean, you can, I can tell you when the next five Zozobras are now. I think sometimes, so that was going to say, it's the organ, I mean, the organizers, because the same thing happened with Zozobra. We got, so the number one complaint for Zozobra was the people who wanted to go see Lyle Lovett couldn't leave their home and come back because they lived within the periphery. So that was, I mean, and we've done Zozobra the same weekend for a hundred years. We've done the Pet Parade for a hundred years, you know? So these things, I don't know. Sometimes stuff like that frustrates me when people complain about things that have happened the same weekend for this last one hundred years in this town. I think it might be people, you know, that are new to our community because it's true. I think anyone that's from here knows not to plan things on these weekends. So, yeah, I would say new community members. We're pretty, all of the information about our traditions are out there and posted a year in advance. It's pretty predictable. Definitely would avoid events the month of September. It's just, it, it's, and, and it's really my kudos to people who have, are able to plan events then because a lot of times, like, staff across the city are just completely booked and overwhelmed with other things. But, yeah, most of these traditions have been around, and I think we know not to plan anything during those times. But, yeah, yes. And I want to just say our Fiesta Council is really great about communicating when those things will occur, all those events, where it would be, all of that stuff. So there is some pretty consistent, great communication out there, but I can see how it could be confusing to new community members. So anyone else, like the opera. Yeah. The, the organizer should, I mean, the opera is the one that had the concert for Lyle Lovett. You would think they would know that Zozobra was happening the same night they scheduled. You know what I mean? It's not things like that. I don't know who the organizer of the other, well, the Lensic. I mean, the Lensic should, I think sometimes when they're scheduling these events, the organizers should kind of have a little common sense and, you know, what's going to affect their, their, their customers, you know? Yeah. I just want to say you guys did a great job. Fire did a great job. Everything looked good, and it was an incident-free weekend. Any other comments? Yes. Committee member Wheeler. Oh, go ahead. Committee member Finger. Just want to let you know I've noticed a marked change on Jaguar near the Boys and Girls Club and the library in that whole intersection because they used to fly through there and sometimes not even stop for the stop sign. So that's, I'm seeing a very big change. So thanks. Thank you, sir. I'm just going to echo as far as the experience with Zozobra was top-notch. The, the officers and the support that you had from the surrounding law enforcement agencies and, and, of course, relay to those agencies our thanks and their support. So you saw the many different uniforms that were out there, and I felt that it was one of the safest Zozobras that I've been to in my lifetime that I've been here. And not to follow up on that piece too much in regards to the parade, but the reality is, is I, I don't think that's your role, Chief. I think that's, that's the Fiesta Council. They can communicate with all the individuals. Like I say, we know that that parade route, it hasn't changed in, I don't know, at least, I think it, wait, I think it reversed one year, like, like, thirty years ago, but it's been the same route. So, yeah. So thank you. Anyone else? All right. And so we would move on to Fire. Fire is not here today, but they did send email communication. If you have concerns or questions, please just follow up with an email on that chain to Chief Ouderkirk, and he is great at communication, so he will respond to any of that quickly. And so next would be matters from Emergency Management. Director Morgan. Madam Chair, members of the committee. I'll keep things relatively short since I'm losing my voice. I did also send over a pretty exhaustive list of ongoing activities, but I think the main thing I would like to highlight tonight is to introduce you all to Nicholas Bosch, who is the new Assistant Director of Emergency Management. I'll have Nick come introduce himself real quick and talk about one or two things he'll be working on. Madam Chair, members. Good here? Madam Chair, members. I'm Nick Bosch. I want to first thank City Manager, Director Morgan, Chief Montano, Chief Ouderkirk, and many others just for having this position, offering me this opportunity. Previously, some of you may recognize me because I actually was a program manager since April over in Youth and Family Services working on some homelessness issues. Just going into the future, there are some things I'm still transitioning over, so you still may see me working with that team a bit. I'm from Connecticut originally, but I've been in Santa Fe since 2019 and previously served as the FEMA representative to the state of New Mexico through COVID and all these fires that have taken place and have a background in first responder work and Air Force Logistics. And I'm happy to be here and look forward to working more with all of you and maybe giving Director Morgan a little bit of a break sometimes. Yeah. No. We're so happy to have you because the team of one, even though Director Morgan has been incredible, definitely needed some support and expansion. So it's just such an important department, and now it's staffed with two, which is exciting. And I think that, yeah, you're going to be a great addition. So it's wonderful to have you. Anyone else have any input, questions? Welcome. Madam Chairman. Thank you. Thank you, Director. Thank you. All right. Next is matters from RECC. Director Lujan? Good afternoon, Madam Chair, members of the committee. I'll provide our August 2026 Public Safety Report. Total calls received, 31,070. Number of 911 calls received, 7,779. Our Public Safety Answering Point answer time is within zero to fifteen seconds, 90, over 96%. We had 92.37% within zero to ten seconds and 2.4% within eleven to fifteen seconds, again, exceeding the NENA standard for the month of August. City of Santa Fe calls dispatched, 9,749, making up 59% of our call volume. Santa Fe County, 6,093, making up 37% of our call volume. And Town of Edgewood, 680, making 4% of our call volume. Total calls for service dispatched totaled 16,598 for the month of August. We have hired a Quality Assurance Specialist, who has filled Glenda Ortiz's role, who retired a few months ago. Her name is Lauren Lucero, and she was a dispatcher with us. So she transitioned to the Quality Assurance Specialist position just last month. So we're excited to have her. We are hiring for a Training Coordinator and ready to make a selection very soon. We have already completed interviews for that. We have interviewed several ECS One Basic positions and an ECS One Advanced position, and we'll be making our selection for those positions shortly as well. And we also interviewed yesterday for our new Records Clerk position, which will assist the floor with NCIC entries and the Quality Assurance Specialist with certain records requests. And that selection will be made shortly as well. So we're excited to be expanding our operations, and we're hoping to fill our vacancies. We currently stand at eleven vacancies for the month of August. Thank you so much. Any questions, comments? Yes. Mine, I'm not on. I, I saw it, and I wanted, so Mr. Member Crawford can hear me. I saw the Facebook advertisement. It looked great. You both look great. And hopefully, we'll get some dispatchers out of it. It would, it would be great to have some community members come out and do that. Once again, I just want to thank you for, I, I, I bugged you a lot this month, and I appreciate the work that you and your staff did to, to provide me the records for some important cases that I had working on. So thank you. Madam Chair, Member Wheeler, thank you very much. And, Member Wheeler, speaking of the Public Safety Day for Santa Fe County, it will be September 26th at the Santa Fe Place Mall from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. All the public safety agencies for the county will be out there recruiting and showing off their departments and everything they do and the technology that we use. So please tell everybody that you know to come visit us, even if they're not interested in applying. They might not know someone that might be interested in applying and might be interested in how we operate in learning more about 911, and we're happy to show you all. So please visit us. Okay. Thank you so much. I appreciate you. Have a wonderful day. All right. Matters from the committee. I have a lot of matters, but matters from the committee, are there any matters? Yes. I just wanted to make sure. I'm not positive, but is the, the Bicycle Committee working on something with e-bikes and trails or any of that kind of stuff? I am not exactly sure because I have not attended that meeting. Yeah. But it sounds like Councilor Vigil had mentioned something like that. We, that will bring me into my matter. I do think it would be great to have some representation on our committee from BPAC. However, there's lots of people interested in public safety. So I was writing an email to the mayor and Geralyn and Catherine recommending that it would only be fair at this point if we do a call for members over the next few weeks and then make a decision because I think we haven't really even announced anything, and I think we have three or four people interested in being members. But one of them is from BPAC. I could definitely check. I just want to make sure that anything like that would come before our committee too. I will mention there's different opinions on a lot of the stuff when it comes to trails and stuff. And it's not the, is it the trails, is there a trails advisory committee too? Is there still that that was separate than the, or is bikes and trails? There is, but I don't think it's active. We have lots of, yeah, I know there's reports. I mean, we've had that discussion here. I don't think it's active. Counselor Figalli is the counselor representing BPAC, so I'll have a conversation with her just so she's aware that we would like that information to come to us. Or just make, I don't know if you remember the last meeting we had here, and it just kind of made me think. And if you look at the committee, because I've been watching some of them, they're all heavily pretty much one, you know, they're all regular bicycle riders. None of them ride ebikes. None of them, I don't know how much of them have dogs and stuff like that. But if you go around town and ride the trails like I do, there's more and more people riding ebikes right now. So I think we need to have a fair thing because there's a lot of older people if we decide, you know, because I've heard talk about banning ebikes and banning different things, scooters. I mean, kids go fast on those scooters, but the trails are for everyone. So either we need to have speed limits, which is something we've talked about. I don't know how you'd enforce that, because it's hard to even enforce people not having their dogs on leashes in this town, because I see that on the trails everywhere. But I just want to make sure that we're involved because I think if you ask a bike shop, the number one thing they're selling right now is ebikes. And I think it's going to be a big fight. We can do as well as bring the presentation forward so we could work to do that just to get an update of what is the current law? What is, how does it look right now? How are things? And the interesting thing is there's been a lot of resolutions passed over the last few years that have not been, yeah, they have not been enforced. And so our bike community is also advocating, as they should, for those things as well. So I think there's a lot of improvements that are needed. BPAC is great in advocating it, but I think it would be great to get an update from city staff and where they're at with all that. So I could look to do both. Any other matters? Yes. Member Liz Wood? I'm wondering if you could request from Director Morgan, whose statistics are really extraordinary, whether at some point when he feels it appropriate, the new quality assurance person would make a presentation on, I don't know if Director Lujan? Director Lujan, can we get a presentation from the quality assurance? And maybe also since you mentioned a training person, just what an annual training plan is going to look like. Is that possible? Yes, absolutely. That's no problem. We can provide that next meeting. Right. And so, is that it from committee members? Alright. And I'll talk to you, Director Lujan, because it might have to be in November, because I think we have a presentation for October, and then I would want to add BPAC as well because they're active in that work. So maybe we'll plan for that presentation November, which will give you some time if that's okay. Sure, no problem. Thank you. Alright. Speaking of October, so a few things. We have been active in ARU, this committee. I feel like ARU should, the work should continue, and we should have monitoring, and we should have updates. Chief Ouderkirk and that whole team and DC Montano, all of the individuals involved, Eric and I have been involved in that working group off and on. We had discussions that the reintroduction of ARU would take place at public safety because we're the ones that were active in the conversations. I then learned that there were other plans taking place despite that decision. I voiced to the city manager, the work has taken place in ARU, and I mean the work when we're involving a body. The body has been ARU that's been involved. And I wanted that reintroduction of ARU to start with this body. So I just want everyone to know that I'm advocating for that. I think city manager has a meeting with the mayor to advocate for us as well because he knows that we've been very involved in that work, and it's where that work would be revisited. This is the committee where it would exist. So I wanted to just update you all on that. I also wanted to let you know that they are active in interviewing for police chief. I believe those interviews start late this week. I have requested from the city manager that everyone on public safety are sent the credentials for the finalists. We won't be able to have a discussion before selection, because we won't meet again until October. However, I very much so advocate that once you review those candidates that you have a voice and you communicate that to the city manager. I think it's very important that he has input from our public safety committee members. And I think this process is moving faster than we could keep up in keeping it in committee for me to advocate for that. However, I do think it's important you have a voice. So he'll be sending me information on finalists. I will then be forwarding that information to you. And my direction will be to absolutely advocate for who you think is best, and good luck to those that are applying. I also, I believe we had a presentation about a resolution that went through around suicide prevention and awareness. That resolution was passed last year. Again, Chief Moya, our city manager, City Manager Moya, is jumping on that work. They are currently working on a plan to reprint IDs with crisis information. So all of our employees will have that crisis information readily available to them, and we're going to start using city properties to also advocate for crisis information. What a lot of advocates around suicide awareness prevention say is it's about having that information just constantly in front of those people that could potentially be in crisis. So I'm really proud of the city for moving on that work, and I will keep you posted along the way. So I just wanted to give you an update on that. So next month, what I'm hoping is we're having a celebration in a way of reintroducing ARU at our next public safety meeting, and we will have a presentation from BPAC, I will request that, or from city staff. So our next meeting will probably be a little bit longer, just so that you can prepare accordingly as well. And I believe that is it. I also just wanted to say thank you guys, by the way. Most important thing. I was at Zozobra, and I was in the parade with my school. But every time I'm involved in, I'm in the parade all the time. I get sunburn. My forehead is peeling from sun. It's so much fun and a lot of work, but every time I'm in it, I look around and I'm like, does the organization and the work that needs to take place for this to occur? Try to get your attention, Interim Chief, because you were there helping keep everyone safe. But it's just pretty incredible. I know that it requires a lot of work and energy and probably many, many sleepless nights, and I never feel like I can be grateful enough for those of you that make those type of community events and those traditions alive while keeping us safe. It's not an easy task, and you do it with such dedicated hearts. And I just want to say thank you for that work. Public safety plays a huge and a central piece because those events wouldn't exist without you all. I know there's so many other city staff involved as well, and thank you to them. But we wouldn't be able to safely participate in those amazing things without you guys there and involved and just thinking about others. So thank you for making everything you do possible here for us in Santa Fe. So I just wanted to make sure I acknowledge you with that, and I believe that's it for me.
