Good. I came to the 70 Beacon, Department 5 for a wellness check because we have a male who suffers from schizophrenia who misses doctors' appointment. As we arrived here, the caseworker, she's also here because she knows that he missed his appointment as well. She does have a copy of the key to his apartment, and she's stating that he believes that... Since he's office medication possibly uses and has missed the appointment and she hears water running in the apartment, she and myself were asking if we get permission to enter the apartment with the key that she has. Can you notify my FTO sergeant, please? FTO sergeant, if you believe that mail is in immediate assistance, you may answer, correct. Just ask you me a favor, just notify the CIC. Just keep them updated. CIC, Channel 4. Didn't have any information on the bike. He said he's going to call back. CIC on 4. CIC, we have 70 Beacon Avenue apartment number 5. FTO is off. with the sergeant and the caseworker. Caseworker is also there to do welfare check on the same nail with schizophrenia. They believe he's possibly off his meds and they hear water running. They have no answer at the door. The caseworker has a copy of the key. They're requesting permission to enter. The FTO sergeant already gave his approval. Might as you can't take in function outside. That would be authorized. I think that with the sergeant. We have the sergeant off at the scene with two officers. That's correct. We also have a north unit off with them. I'll be off in like two minutes. I was just coming from the east. You can, never mind. He opened the door. We're talking to him now. All right, mail open the door, no entry made. Yes, they got it. Thanks. No problem. And FTO, Sergeant, I received. Don't make my way. This one, put us off at BCCI. That's two to the mileage. You can start a bus this way for involuntary transport.
