00:42
or I'm Reading and Galbraith, and then I got all, I've been traffic shut down to where the highway is.

That should be at least 500 yards or 500 feet from this vehicle as up right now.
00:54
Okay, what about the businesses or residences? Do you want us to evacuate them or just lay in place?
00:59
I will advise on that.
01:00
I need to speak with the detainee a little bit more and kind of get an announcement of what's going on, so I will advise.

L.P.
02:00
You still want me coming with a drone, right?
02:03
I'm not sure that we need a drone at this point.
02:08
Currently, we have one detainee that's alleging that there is a device possibly in this car.
02:13
That's my understanding.
02:15
There's nobody outstanding.
02:16
I don't know that we need a drone.
02:17
My concern currently is the events that we have going on up at the mall, if you guys want to go, just stay up in that area.
02:24
Tommy, right before I headed over here, all the Bengals players are leaving, so that one should be done.

03:01
I appreciate it, though.
03:03
All right, units, I'm coming late to the game here.
03:06
What are we looking for?
03:07
89, if we could just, so we've got traffic block at Reading and Galbraith.
03:13
I'm not super familiar with all these side streets, and we could just make sure that...
03:18
everything in this, all entrances to this block range are covered with posts.
03:24
All right. I understand.
03:26
Do I have a unit down there by...
03:27
Got all traffic that's coming eastbound on Galbraith going on northbound 75.
03:32
All right. Traffic diverted northbound 75 from eastbound Galbraith, and then traffic is shut down at Galbraith in Reading, 9232, correct?
03:41
32, that's clear.
03:42
All right, can I get someone at Burkhart and Clark then, shut down any traffic coming south on Burkhart to Galbraith?
03:49
Yeah, we've got a secondary blockade here at Burkhart and Galbraith.
03:54
If we could have one of the time units, grab that post, please.
03:56
Thank you, Jerry.
03:59
9 out of 89 to the county units,
04:01
low in Reading as well.
04:03
Just for the sake of time, I don't have time to call of you, so I'll put it on here.
04:07
I don't want this, I don't think this is a distraction technique, but I don't want this to become a distraction to get us away from the events that are going on in Sycamore.
04:17
So the minimum cars that we need here to be here and everybody else to be available for the Sycamore events.
