Transcript Partial transcript

Machine transcription of this recording. The words are the recognizer's, except where a passage is marked as corrected or machine re-recognized; most have not been checked against the audio, so words, numbers and names can be misheard. It describes what was said. It cannot establish who voted how, an amount or an outcome. A time links to its passage, and “Copy link” copies that link. “▶ Play” opens the recording at that moment, on YouTube; on this page it moves the player above the transcript.

How this transcript was made. New machine transcription of the whole recording, with 7 voices separated from the audio. No word has been replaced by anything else. Checks run on this transcript: the recognizer's own warning signs, whether a voice was detected where the words are and a language review for likely mishearings. A second, independent machine reading was compared with it word by word: the same words for 96.6% of 712 content words. Dotted words (14 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading. 12 passages (18% of the words) are marked suspect: their words are not shown ("unclear audio") and support no statement: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ; the language review questioned them; or no voice was detected there. Agreement between two machine readings is not verification.

Speakers were separated by voice. A plain name rests on evidence tied to that voice; “provisional” is a name from an earlier text-only pass and is not verified; “Speaker N” is an unidentified voice.

I've been with a Cocoa Police Department for 25 years. The majority of that 25 years I spent working the streets of Cocoa.

Over those 25 years I've affected thousands of arrests. As I moved up through the ranks I began to look at what was going on and what was going on in the community. And I looked and said, you know, we're not arresting our way out of this problem. The problem is continuing. People that I was arresting 20 years ago were now arresting their children, their grandchildren, the grandchildren of grandchildren. So we looked at what can we do to effectively break the chain.

Many of the children we interact with in our community have limited role models, parent figures. And at a point we as law enforcement officers become those parent figures.

My mom wanted me to stay out of trouble so she put me in a PAL program. I felt safe with them at all times, wherever I was. I felt loved. ‸ They were like another family for me besides the main family that I had.

[00:01:35] ▶ Play Speaker 1

kids look up to us. They truly believe that they can succeed. And that's another very important part is ‸ if a child doesn't ever believe that they can succeed, then they see no reason to try and succeed. Look for the kids.

This game of basketball and all ‸ sports, in my opinion, can help instill a good foundation in all young people.

it really touched my heart to see the needs fulfilled of the children that participated in the program. Many of the children bought gifts for other people in their family and not even themselves. It was very unselfish of them to do so.

And we have students and kids who are in these areas. And if we, meaning organizations such as Community First, individuals, business leaders, community leaders, don't come together and make it our business to take care and to help these students, then ‸ our crime rates are going to increase and we're going to see quite a bit of juvenile delinquency. Our goal is to help reduce juvenile delinquency by providing substantive programs that will assist our students, assist our kids, and provide some leadership to them so that they don't become delinquents, but they become productive citizens in our community. And they come ‸ back and they give back to the community. These types of programs are programs that will instill in our youth, in our students, in our community that people care. Their

investment in me has built a totally new person, a more respectful person. And I feel like if they keep investing, they can do it to more people like me and get them out of the streets and stuff.
