1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Joining me live in the studio. It's a Northern Territory

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: Police Commander Danny Bacon. Good morning to.

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 2: You, Danny.

4
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: Lovely to have you in the studio and there is

5
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 1: quite a bit to cover off. You guys have been

6
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: incredibly busy. Northern Territory Police are calling for witnesses after

7
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: a man threatened multiple people with a baseball bat and

8
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: an edged weapon in Darwin's Northern suburbs yesterday afternoon. This

9
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: sounds like it was pretty frightening for a lot of people.

10
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: Would have been fronting for a lot of people at

11
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 2: the time. It really would have also not just for

12
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 2: the victims of people witnessing the behavior as well. And

13
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 2: as you indicated, Cardie, about four thirty pm over the

14
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 2: Sevensary Shops and Stewart Highway, a man of the baseball

15
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 2: bat let you sold a man inside the shops before

16
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 2: attempting to run over two people in the car park

17
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 2: and he also began throwing rocks at a fourth person.

18
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 2: Police attended and apprehended the fella and he was conveyed

19
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 2: to the Royal Dane Hospital where he's undergoing a mental

20
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: health assessment. Police are still speaking to witness is about

21
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: the matter, asking people to come forward if they have

22
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 2: any further information to contact police on one three one

23
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: trip four and ongoing investigations will continue, and I think

24
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 2: the likelihood of some serious charges before a court will

25
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 2: certainly follow.

26
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 1: Commander. Were any of those victims injured.

27
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: They were injured from my understanding in regards to some

28
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 2: of the assaults, the severity of the injuries I don't

29
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 2: have before me at the moment, but certainly being threatened

30
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: with an edge weapon the psychological harm course to that

31
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: as well to a number of.

32
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: People as yeah, well, someone trying to run you down,

33
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: and then even while you're running, somebody chasing after you

34
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: with an edge weapon. It's incredibly frightening stuff.

35
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: And that time of day, four thirty in the afternoon

36
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: was very busy, that the whole way was full of

37
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: vehicles as well, so as potentially there could have been

38
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: a lot more people injured that circumstances. He was apprehended

39
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: within forty minut of the initial call coming to police,

40
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: which is pleasing to see. But I said, he's currently

41
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 2: receiving a mental health assessment. But we are conducting investigations

42
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 2: of the series of offending and then likely that it

43
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 2: will be charges.

44
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 1: And this is a tough thing, right, Like I get

45
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: that everybody understands. You know that there can be mental

46
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: health issues that come into play in different incidents that

47
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: you know, maybe someone's not thinking straight, But it doesn't

48
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: give you the right to go and absolutely frighten the

49
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: hell out of other people and to hurt other people,

50
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: try to run them down, you know. And and the

51
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: police have got a job to do to make sure

52
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: that that person's apprehended.

53
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 2: And yeah, that's the termination of court. And at the

54
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: end of the day in regards to people's mental fitness

55
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: to plead or range of you know, their defense. But

56
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, that's a matter for

57
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: the courts, not a matter for police. There's some insinuate

58
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: of offenses that are committed in that particular time. And

59
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: as I said, if members of the public did witness

60
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 2: or we're victims in regards that particulents, we do us

61
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: into contact police on one three, one trip four so

62
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 2: we could gather that evidence and put a brief before court.

63
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: Now, Commander the Northern Territory Police are also continuing to

64
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: investigate a death that occurred in one Guri early yesterday

65
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: morning about five past one, the Joint Emergency Communications Center

66
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: received a report that a woman was unconscious and not breathing.

67
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: Do we have much further detail at this point in time, not.

68
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 2: That I could release k other than this individual. In

69
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: regards to matter the I suppose further information will tell

70
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: from an autopsy. But at this stage the matter does

71
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: remain under investigation. We aren't looking. We don't think there's

72
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 2: any threat ongoing threat to members of the public in

73
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 2: regards this particular incident itself, and Major Crime is still

74
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: investigating the cause of her death at this time.

75
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: So is it believed or are the police thinking that

76
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: it could be domestic violence related? Or is it very

77
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: early to tell.

78
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: It's very to tell. Investigations really at its infancy. Some

79
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: I suppose key evidence really will become from the autopsy.

80
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: So until the autopsy is undertaken, in reality, that the

81
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: matter is still being treated as suspicious until for the

82
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: information to terms otherwise. And I think if we pre

83
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 2: preempt it, you're talking about your preemptive bias and investigtive bias.

84
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: But we'll wait to the outcome of the autopsy and

85
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 2: see these other avenues to investigate from there. Again, we

86
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: still ask members of public if they did witness or

87
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: observed anyone in that ground vicinity at the time. Again

88
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 2: to Core Police on one three.

89
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: One trip or four Now, Commander, we also know that

90
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: on Monday, the Northern Territory Police Domestic Violence and Youth

91
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: Commands announced that they'd arrested eighty domestic violence offenders since

92
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: the second of September. Now, this is all part of

93
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: Operation Jardine. It commence to target those outstanding domestic violence

94
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: affair does as well as those with outstanding warrants for

95
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 1: domestic related offenses. Now, it is obviously a significant operation

96
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: that's been underway. Those offenses carried out by these alleged

97
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: defenders range from sexual intercourse without consent, deprivation of liberty,

98
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: aggravated assault, and breaches of domestic violence orders. I mean,

99
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: it is like it's appalling stuff, and it's something that

100
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: you and I speak about all too often, the rates

101
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: of domestic violence we've got in the Northern Territory. And

102
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: we're going to actually continue that discussion as well in

103
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: just a little while through Some of the work that

104
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:39,799
Speaker 1: the No More campaign does but against their victims is appalling,

105
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: it's heartbreaking, it's appalling. It's I can't even think of

106
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: the right descriptive words to be honest.

107
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 2: An updating will continue whilst an offender has an outstanding

108
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 2: warrant and hasn't had their matters dealt within court. They

109
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 2: will continue to be the focus of our activities in

110
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 2: our search to apprehend them and put them before a court.

111
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 2: Op Jardine is coordinated by the Domestic Violence and Youth Command,

112
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 2: but is a operation that's across all commands, and all

113
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 2: commands are contributing in regards to apprehending these individuals across

114
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 2: the territory, be they residing in Darwen or original remote

115
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: location as well. So if you have an outstanding matter

116
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 2: that's not been dealt with before the court, expect to

117
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 2: knock on your door by OP Jardine members because they

118
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 2: will apprehend you and they will take you before a court.

119
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: I want to ask you as well about an incident. Well,

120
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 1: the incidents I should say that have happened over a

121
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: period of time, But on Friday, the Northern Territory Police

122
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: arrested a man in relation to these allegations of public

123
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: indecency in front of multiple victims since August, so essentially

124
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: this twenty five year Old's been charged with three counts

125
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: of public masturbation, three of indecent touching or act. He's

126
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: been bailed to appear in the Darwin Local Court on

127
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: the fourth of February. I mean, again, this is disgusting,

128
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: it's gross, it's frightening. You know, every deserves to be

129
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: able to go out and exercise and not have to

130
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: worry about being subjected to something like this one hundred percent.

131
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: And I really must shout out to members of the

132
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: public that actually ring these matters in because one call

133
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 2: may not have provided that evidence to you identify or apprehend,

134
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: but receiving a number of different calls, we're able to

135
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 2: you know, put a package together, identify the individual, and

136
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 2: put a plan in place to apprehend the individual. So

137
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 2: I really must thank your listeners and thank the public

138
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 2: for coming forward when they see behavior of this nature

139
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 2: or any behavior is reporting it to police. So I

140
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 2: really like to call out and say thank you for

141
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 2: doing that. Yes, it's great that we have removed this

142
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 2: individual from the streets and identified him. So yes, he

143
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 2: will face court in February the fourth.

144
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: Well, good good job, and you know it's appalling, like

145
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: most of these incidents. Unfortunately, so well done to the

146
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: police getting out there and apprehending those offenders. I want

147
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: to ask, will, though I know police launching your Christmas

148
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: road safety campaign, I believe that's next week. What can

149
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: Territorians expect.

150
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: Well, expect to be breath tested, drug tested, and expect

151
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 2: to get your speed checked, your registration checked, and your

152
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 2: license checked. Certainly, our lives lost in our roads is

153
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 2: a horrendous at year, we're seeing at fifty eight. We're

154
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: twenty eight this time last year. And these aren't just

155
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 2: figured these are people's lives. These are fifty eight last

156
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 2: year in totality. So we want people to stay alive,

157
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,719
Speaker 2: you know, we want people to kill themselves or other

158
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 2: people on our roads, whether you're a driver, passenger or pedestrian.

159
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 2: So police will be out there in force. Expect them

160
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 2: every day, evening in night chief I'll be conducting a

161
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 2: lot of random RBTs. They'll be small ones, they'll be

162
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 2: large ones. They'll be in urban areas, regional areas, remote areas.

163
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 2: So our goal is what we is anyone that's using

164
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 2: our roadways, we hope that they are breath tested, drug

165
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 2: tested and have their registration license checked over this festive season.

166
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 2: So that's our goals and agency, and we hope that

167
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 2: that ensures that we have a no lives lost over

168
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 2: our festive season and everybody remains safe.

169
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, I really do hope that people do stay safe

170
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: on our roads. Hey, someone's called in to ask if

171
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,719
Speaker 1: to ask you if you've got any details about an

172
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: officer apparently being knocked out at six o'clock this morning

173
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: in miller Carperty. Do you know anything about that?

174
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,239
Speaker 2: I do you do? Yeah, there's an incident in Millicarpy

175
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 2: this morning in regards to again targeting Operation Jardine. All right,

176
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 2: an outstanding offender. Unfortunately during the planned incident that the

177
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 2: police resulted during that particular rest where they've had to retreats.

178
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 2: So we currently have other officers attending Millericarpy at the

179
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 2: moment to assist those officers and also to re engage

180
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: the offender and the community to affect his arrest.

181
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: Do you know how many officers have had to be

182
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: now sent out to sort of support the officers there

183
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: in Milericarpty.

184
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 2: At this stage, I have a number of officers on

185
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 2: actually currently in here, so they consist of our Tactical

186
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 2: Response Group officers. But we will also be sending Territories

187
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 2: support officers and General Junior's officers as well to support them.

188
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: Do you know if that officer is okay that got

189
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: knocked out this morning?

190
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 2: I think any assault on initial information we have is

191
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 2: he was knocked unconscious through a kick to the head,

192
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 2: which is quite significant. So he is undergoing observations in

193
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 2: the clinic there at the moment. And also officers were

194
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 2: bitten in that particular arrest as well, so or attempted arrest.

195
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 2: So yes, three of the officers themselves were assaulded this morning,

196
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 2: so we're currently mobilizing to provide them some further support

197
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 2: for the officers themselves, but also they can and also

198
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 2: to bring the offenders the original offender of the nature

199
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: of the targeted apprehension for Jada, but also for any offender,

200
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 2: the assault of the officers in that process.

201
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: Well, look, I hope those police officers are okay now,

202
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: Commander Danny Bacon, Before I let you go, I've known

203
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: you for a very long time. In fact, my first

204
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: job as a journalist or in the media was with

205
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: the Northern Territory Police Unit. You used to be the

206
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: Watchee very often all those years ago. I'm talking like

207
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: more than twenty years ago. I reckon when I was

208
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: a baby journalist, and I believe that you are getting

209
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: ready to retire. Well, I know that you're getting ready

210
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: to retire. I don't know if this is going to

211
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: be our last interview on air together. But how many

212
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: years has it been for you in the Northern Territory

213
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 1: Police Force?

214
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 2: Come up to thirty eight? I think when I finally

215
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 2: ate only hand in the bad cheeses?

216
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: Oh mate, how does it feel for you to get

217
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: ready to hand that badg gin?

218
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 2: It's with regret, but the ultimate privilege it really has.

219
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 2: I've had the privilege to wear this uniform. I've had

220
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 2: the privilege to serve this community. I really have. It's

221
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: been wonderful, not just people in the organization, but actually

222
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 2: other stakeholders in the community, people work with health, education communications.

223
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: Really that's what makes this organization, makes this job, make

224
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 2: it worthwhile. Yeah, so it's been a wonderful journey, really has.

225
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 2: You know, there's been some downs, obviously, like any job

226
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 2: an organization, but I can tell you it's been a

227
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 2: lot of highs as well. This job is an amazing
