This year, we identified 66 ports that we view as the greatest risk, and only those were eligible to apply for the funds. Not all 66 were funded.

The department [DHS] and the President have always favored a risk-based approach. It's members of Congress who have thwarted those efforts.

What we're really practicing is risk mitigation. You will not be able to say everywhere every city is safe at all times. What you want to say is, are we continually getting safer?

You know, currently 700 offenders a month are put back into the streets in California with no risk assessment whatsoever, nothing, nada, no treatment. This will change that.

There are communities that have not been as proactive as say, San Francisco and Oakland in having a mutual plan in how to respond or how to prevent certain attacks.

We do not have any reason to believe there are inaccuracies but we've agreed to make sure our data matches their data.
