Remember, what I'm talking about is not dollars, because people don't have a billion dollars in their training budgets. They have some of that in their salary budgets, if you will. What you're doing is freeing up that much in terms of resources to do other things with, but if you save 10%, that's $100 million worth of resources. If you put that into $100,000 per police officer, how many new police officers is that? That's 1,000 new police officers. That's the order of magnitude we're talking about. If it's 30%, on the high end, do the math. It's significant. With incremental investment on the front end, you're talking about.... Over the next three years if you put in somewhere between $10 million and $20 million, that little amount of investment could get you that payback year after year after year. That's the order of magnitude.
