00:00.310 --> 00:02.430
I'm staff Sergeant , Mike Brown with

00:02.440 --> 00:05.000
the 67th man . So the assignment that

00:05.010 --> 00:07.349
I've been given is NC IC of the

00:07.360 --> 00:09.630
checkpoints here , uh , here in , uh ,

00:10.449 --> 00:12.671
this , uh , development , there's two ,

00:12.680 --> 00:15.729
exits and entrances into it . We have

00:15.739 --> 00:18.139
two gate guards at each section and

00:18.149 --> 00:20.149
then we have one roaming guard that

00:20.149 --> 00:22.889
goes among the , uh , houses . It's

00:22.899 --> 00:25.020
important to keep the , uh , people

00:25.030 --> 00:27.141
that don't necessarily have a purpose

00:27.141 --> 00:29.549
or belong to be in here , uh , out .

00:29.920 --> 00:31.864
We're pretty much letting just the

00:31.864 --> 00:33.976
homeowners , the contractors that are

00:33.976 --> 00:36.142
associated with each household and try

00:36.142 --> 00:38.639
to keep it just that I volunteered

00:38.650 --> 00:40.594
because I have a sister in law and

00:40.594 --> 00:42.706
brother in law and a couple of nieces

00:42.706 --> 00:45.439
that were affected in Elburn . I was

00:45.450 --> 00:47.672
down there cutting trees and stuff last

00:47.672 --> 00:49.672
Saturday as a civilian . So to me ,

00:49.672 --> 00:51.783
it's very important to come down here

00:51.783 --> 00:53.839
and , you know , show the other side

00:53.839 --> 00:55.894
and have a good working relationship

00:55.894 --> 00:58.117
with both the local police department ,

00:58.117 --> 01:00.990
sheriff , federal State and also the

01:01.000 --> 01:03.950
people of , uh , we were activated

01:03.959 --> 01:05.626
yesterday , um , doing our in

01:05.626 --> 01:08.069
processing . We got on the shift about

01:08.080 --> 01:10.580
three o'clock , uh , worked about five

01:10.589 --> 01:12.811
hours of like yesterday and then , uh ,

01:12.811 --> 01:15.180
normal shift is 12 hours a day . This

01:15.190 --> 01:17.246
would be our first full shift . Um ,

01:17.246 --> 01:19.099
pretty well , the , the actual

01:19.110 --> 01:20.999
homeowners , I'm guessing there's

01:20.999 --> 01:22.777
probably about 60 homes in this

01:22.777 --> 01:24.943
neighborhood . Um , most of them are ,

01:24.943 --> 01:27.221
are very ecstatic to see us . You know ,

01:27.221 --> 01:29.443
they always check on us every time they

01:29.443 --> 01:31.443
go to work or come home . Uh , make

01:31.443 --> 01:33.610
sure that we're doing all right . Uh ,

01:33.610 --> 01:35.666
some of the , uh , sightseers , um ,

01:35.666 --> 01:37.777
you know , they're a little perturbed

01:37.777 --> 01:37.209
that we're here but they also

01:37.220 --> 01:40.040
understand what we're here for . And ,

01:40.050 --> 01:42.272
uh , you know , traffic control is very

01:42.272 --> 01:44.494
important . You know , we have a lot of

01:44.494 --> 01:46.717
trucks in and out all day long . It can

01:46.717 --> 01:48.828
get congested pretty quick . Um , you

01:48.828 --> 01:50.939
know , my thoughts and prayers go out

01:50.939 --> 01:53.050
to all the families that lost homes .

01:53.050 --> 01:55.272
You know , we're talking a , you know ,

01:55.272 --> 01:57.439
two county area that's been affected .

01:57.439 --> 01:59.606
Um , and , and hopefully we're serving

01:59.606 --> 02:00.699
them at the best of our capacity .
