Absolutely. Our estimates are that they could have hired approximately 600 officers with that. Six hundred is above the number that we're able to graduate each year to become officers. Given that we're short between 2,000 and 3,000 nationwide, 600 officers would have been a big help. Of course, an officer, unlike a machine, can do interdiction, can do enforcement and can do the things that we're really there for. An app cannot do any of that.
