00:03.770 --> 00:05.750
- By getting the Guard assets in place

00:05.750 --> 00:09.750
and picking up these
traffic control points,

00:09.750 --> 00:12.320
it allowed me to free up my officers

00:12.320 --> 00:14.320
to do more critical law enforcement,

00:14.320 --> 00:16.440
immediate response type duties,

00:16.440 --> 00:19.140
especially with this
dense smoke we've had.

00:19.140 --> 00:20.700
We also had additional responsibilities

00:20.700 --> 00:23.840
to handle the highway up there
in order to keep traffic down

00:23.840 --> 00:26.200
and keep traffic fatalities

00:26.200 --> 00:28.120
And by joining together,

00:28.120 --> 00:29.340
I think we've accomplished a lot

00:29.340 --> 00:30.780
because we haven't had a

00:30.780 --> 00:32.740
serious accident up on the freeway,

00:32.740 --> 00:35.210
and I've been able to make my mission

00:35.210 --> 00:37.510
while your guys have done a fantastic job

00:37.510 --> 00:39.790
as far as community relations

00:39.790 --> 00:44.530
because we've been getting
comments in from the citizens

00:44.530 --> 00:46.850
that are just, they're overjoyed

00:46.850 --> 00:51.440
with having the National
Guard here, protecting them,

00:51.440 --> 00:52.450
protecting their property,

00:52.450 --> 00:56.110
so overall and all it was a,
it was a successful mission.

00:56.110 --> 00:57.090
- [Man] Appreciate it, sir.

00:57.090 --> 00:58.210
- [Man] Hey, thank you,
I'll see you guys later.

00:58.210 --> 00:59.043
- [Man] Thanks, you guys.

00:59.043 --> 00:59.970
- [Man] Yeah, we'll see you again.

00:59.970 --> 01:00.840
- [Man] Thank you, guys.

01:00.840 --> 01:03.710
- So right now it's essentially
been ensuring day shift

01:03.710 --> 01:07.960
and night shift are going
according at the four TCPs

01:07.960 --> 01:09.820
we have here at Trout Lake Road,

01:09.820 --> 01:11.100
Little Creek Road, and then two

01:11.100 --> 01:13.130
on service roads farther north.

01:13.130 --> 01:14.543
And then working hand in hand

01:14.543 --> 01:16.480
with the local police department,

01:16.480 --> 01:17.930
and then obviously with my higher-ups

01:17.930 --> 01:20.570
to facilitate or coordinate
whatever needs to happen.

01:20.570 --> 01:24.880
- So earlier today we
had a young lady pull up

01:24.880 --> 01:26.830
with her mom and her son,

01:26.830 --> 01:28.370
and it was his birthday,

01:28.370 --> 01:30.700
and he turned three years old today,

01:30.700 --> 01:34.940
and she wanted her son to see soldiers,

01:34.940 --> 01:36.030
and he was really happy,

01:36.030 --> 01:38.500
and we actually gave him our patch,

01:38.500 --> 01:40.560
and he gave him the
patch for his birthday.

01:40.560 --> 01:41.780
He was really happy,

01:41.780 --> 01:42.840
and she said, "Thank you so much."

01:42.840 --> 01:45.110
She actually took pictures with us,

01:45.110 --> 01:46.830
and she says she wants
to post them on Facebook.

01:46.830 --> 01:48.870
And we're like, "Yeah, that's fine."

01:48.870 --> 01:50.847
And she said, "Thank you
so much for being here.

01:50.847 --> 01:52.867
"We all appreciate it, so."
