It's nice to know that we can kind of piggyback on different approaches and being able to balance the best interests of public safety and figuring out something that's going to work. I've had nothing but good things to say with respect to the relentless staff, the youth workers, where we have open communication. It's all about relationship, relationship, relationship. That's how we connect with people. I believe that's how impact can happen in one's life. I believe that's how change can happen.
