Hello
there
and
welcome
once
again
to
the
mayor's
magazine,
I'm
Mick
Cornett,
the
mayor
of
Oklahoma
City,
and
this
is
our
program
for
January
2017,
so
happy
new
year
in
today's
show.
We're
going
to
start
by
talking
to
Tommy
yi
Tommy
is
at
the
front
end
of
a
really
impressive
technology
revolution
and
he's
kind
of
the
point
guy
for
what
I
think
is
going
to
create
a
lot
of
entrepreneurial
opportunities
for
people
in
Oklahoma
and
a
lot
of
Workforce
Development,
as
we
continue
to
transition
toward
a
digital
age.
So
Tommy
welcome
to
the
mayor's
magazine.
A
A
B
B
B
It's
it's
on
the
corner
of
sheridan
Klein,
it's
called
star
space
46
and
we
just
opened
in
November,
and
we
were
open
as
previous
incarnations
of
that
same
concept
for
the
last
10
years.
What
makes
this
space
a
little
different
is
that
now
we're
not
just
kissing
on
tech,
but
we're
focusing
on
entrepreneurs
across
the
board,
whether
it's
retail
or
traditional
or
even
in
the
creative
and
arts,
but
but
we
still,
we
still
do
have
a
focus
in
tech,
but
we're
opening
our
doors
to
everybody,
because
if.
B
It's
it's
a
mixture
of
everything.
There
are
definitely
people
who
are
coders
and
you
can
definitely
tell
them
apart
because
they're,
you
know
they
have
their
headsets
and
you're,
ignoring
the
world
and
they're
just
sitting
there
typing
away
and
then
and
then
you
have
entrepreneurs
and
investors
and
also
like
the
creative
types
of
designers,
who
are
also
there
and
and
they're,
usually
the
ones
who
are
complaining
about
my
wallpaper.
B
In
my
my
part
and
and
yeah,
they
told
me
that
the
typography
is
wrong
here
and
but
it's
a
really
a
mixture
of
everything
and
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
wanted
to
bring
in
the
event.
Space
is
basically
a
critical
mass
of
activity,
whether
its
technical
related,
whether
it's
arts
related
or
entrepreneurial
related,
and
so
we
have
a
partnership
with
a
what
the
tech,
lahoma
foundation
and
every
day,
there's
a
different
user
group
meeting
in
that
space.
B
B
And
so
we
we
like
to
bring
a
lot
of
those
events,
because
it
brings
a
lot
of
people
from
different
disciplines
and
different
industries
to
kind
of
mingle
and
be
there,
and
it
gives
people
working
at
the
space
and
opportunity
to
kind
of
break
from
what
they're
doing
and
also
meet
new
people
that
they
may
not
yeah
mingle
with
on
a
regular
basis.
And
when
you
have
that
cross
collaboration
of
people.
That's
when
great
ideas
result
in
New
in
businesses
and.
A
B
So
about
a
month
ago,
I
applied
on
behalf
of
Oklahoma
City,
for
this
new
initiative
called
tech
hires,
and
it
was
an
initiative
that
was
pushed
by
President
Obama
back
in
2015,
and
the
purpose
of
these
of
the
initiative
was
basically
to
promote
better
workforce
development
in
in
the
tech
sector,
but
then
also
get
employers
involved
in
the
education
process.
So
they
could
validate
what
these
programs
are
teaching,
but
then
also
get
a
commitment
from
them
to
hire
locally
as
opposed
to
hiring
offshore
or
out
of
state.
B
And
we
really
appreciate
that,
and
it
was
really
the
partnerships
that
we
forged
with
that
and
the
commitment
that
we
received
from
all
the
employers
and
organizations
like
okay
coders
that
really
allowed
us
to
get
that
designation
for
Oklahoma
City.
And
so
a
week
ago
the
White
House
just
announced
about
20
new
cities
to
have
the
tech
hire,
designation
and
Oklahoma
City
was
was
one
of
them
and
and
what
I
tell
people
is
that
you
know
Oklahoma
City
got
the
designation
and
Dallas
doesn't
so
that's
kind
of
a
little
stickler
to
the
home
sale.
Well,.
A
B
Yeah
great
there's
two
great
stories
I
like
to
tell
you
know
when,
when
we
were
known
as
the
okc
Coco,
there
is
a
couple
of
guys
who
started
this
concept
about
creating
this
hospitality.
Software
44,
like
the
hotel
space
I,
know,
and
it
was
basically
kind
of
a
garage
operations,
and
so
you
fast
forward
to
today
well
that
company
is
now
known
as
months.
He
urge
and
and
they've
received
millions
and
venture
funding.
B
You
know
that
that
might
be
in
the
middle
stage
of
their
career,
make
a
transition
to
something
else
right
and
right
now,
there's
a
shortage
of
technologists
in
the
workforce,
and
so
we
can't
just
rely
on
the
pipeline.
That's
coming
out
of
college.
We
need
more
than
that
and
so
helping
people
to
transition.
You
know
from
from
you
know,
whatever
you're
doing
out
into
the
tech
industry
is
really
key
to
providing
that
constant
pipeline
of
these
tech.
Companies
really
need
in
order
to
exist
and
remain
here
in
Oklahoma.
All.
A
C
Hi
guys
I'm
Anna
standard
form
of
the
Oklahoma
City
Thunder.
We
here
today
in
the
animal
shelter
when
I
was
kidding
turkey,
you
know
I
haven't
been
a
lot
of
you
know.
I
had
cast
a
lot
of
birds
and
fish,
but
I.
Never
you
know:
I
had
a
dog
before
now,
I'm
like
thinking
about
adopting
an
animal
he's
getting
more
with
OKC
and
animal
welfare
and
get
involved
and
adopt
and
volunteer
like
I,
am.
A
Welcome
back
to
the
mayor's
magazine,
our
guests
in
this
segment
is
police
chief
bill
city.
Welcome
to
the
mayor's
magazine,
Thank
You,
mayor
hadn't
had
me
on
in
a
little
while,
since
the
last
time
we
had
John
the
body,
camera
issue
seems
to
have
been
resolved
and
it's
in
the
process
of
being
implemented.
So
why
don't
you
give
our
citizens
kind
of
an
update
on
where
we
are
with
body
cams
and
how
it
will
work?
Well,.
D
You
know
we
started
that
we
started
the
pilot
program
really
almost
a
year
ago,
and
then
we
had
to
work
through
some
issues
and
with
the
policies
and
procedures
and
how
you
know
it's
pretty
complicated.
It's
lengthy
and
it's
obviously
officers
have
some
concerns
about
about
how
they're
going
to
be
used,
and
things
like
that.
So
we
work
through
a
lot
of
those
issues
over
the
last
year's
and
got
a
procedure
in
place
that
really
gives
them
a
lot
of
direction
on
how
to
use
those
cameras.
D
D
It's
you
know,
technology
is
based
part
of
our
life
and
it's
a
tool
now
and
it's
law
enforcement.
You
know,
one
of
the
biggest
challenges
is
keeping
up
that
technology,
not
only
for
ourselves
to
be
able
to
do
our
jobs,
but
also
you
know,
the
the
criminal
element
also
has
access
to
that,
and
so
it's
important
for
us
to
be
able
to
one
for
one
thing
be
accountable
to
to
the
public
and
what
we
do.
D
That's
that's
been
that's
more
and
more
of
an
issue
and,
of
course,
with
the
with
the
advent
of
all
the
smartphones
and
the
cameras
on
the
phones.
You
know
we're
the
officers
out
there
or
being
watched
more
closely
scrutinized
more
closely
in
many
cases,
videotaped,
and
so
it's
really
to
our
benefit,
not
only
not
only
for
the
officer
protection
of
the
officer,
but
also
for
the
citizens.
D
You
know
to
to
show
that
we
are
doing
the
right
thing
and
officers
are
doing
the
right
things
out
there
and
we
could,
because
we
are
accountable,
they're,
the
ones
that
are
the
ones
that
hires
are
the
ones
we
work
for
and
the
more
we
can
use
technology
to
be
accountable
to
them.
I
think
it's
important
you.
A
D
D
It
might
as
well
be,
and
because
because
a
lot
of
them
are
the
same
issues
and
use
of
force
has
always
been
always
been
at
the
forefront
of
those
issues
and
how
officers
use
that
force,
whether
it's
deadly
force
or
anything
other
than
that,
but
so
those
issues
affect
us
and
then
and
those
things
that
happen
some
in
other
places.
In
many
cases
we
have
to
respond
to
those
with
the
community.
Okay,
it's
it's.
What
are
you
doing
to
address
these
types
of
issues?
Is
it
happening?
D
D
It's
I
think
it's
more
than
the
forefront
now
because
of
the
advent
of
a
lot
of
videos
and
and
things
like
that,
that's
being
publicized
more
of
course,
there's
more
media
there's,
not
three
stations
anymore,
there's
social
media
and
it's
just
you're
in
a
date
with
that.
So
we
have
to
respond
to
that.
Have.
D
Know
I
de-escalation
officers,
good
officers
have
always
de-escalated
nobody
wants
to
have
to
get
in
a
fight.
Nobody
wants
to
have
to
use
deadly
force.
Nobody
wants
to
get
hurt
themselves.
Officers
have
found
ways
to
de-escalate
I.
Think
what
you're,
what
you're
really
seeing
now
is
you're,
seeing
de-escalation
more
formalized
in
training.
You
know
good
officers
would
do
it
on
their
own,
but
you're,
seeing
the
training
now
and
the
expectations
from
agencies
that
officers
really
really
cultivate
those
skills,
and
then
we
train
those
types
of
skills
and
that
thought
process.
D
So
you
know
in
cases
like
that.
Yes,
those
situations
take
time
to
call
somebody
else
out.
It
may
take
more
time
for
the
officer
to
come
to
have
the
backup
call
for
the
backup
takes
more
time
to
sit
and
talk.
Somebody
threw
something
than
it
does
to
go
slap,
handcuffs
on
them
and
throw
them
in
jail,
but
it's
much
better
to
have
to
be
able
to
do
it
that
way,
to
resolve
those
issues
and
and
and
hopefully
the
long
run
incarcerated
for
your
people.
As
a
result
of
that.
D
Well,
you
know
it's
it's
it's
defined
a
lot
of
ways
across
the
country
and
in
community
policing,
basically,
for
me,
is,
is,
is
basically
officers
taking
their
time
to
get
to
know
their
community
it's
hard
for
us
and
some
places
people
will
define
that
community
policing
by
getting
out
and
walking,
beats
and
riding
bicycles
and
addressing
them,
and
we
do
some
of
that.
Brick
town
area
is
a
good
example
of
community
policing.
D
We
have
officers
out
on
bicycles
out
on
you,
know,
walking
beats
and
in
that
type
of
thing
and
getting
to
know
the
people
it's
about
getting
to
know
the
people
within
the
community
that
you're
responsible
for
officers
are
broken
into
different
districts.
It's
about
having
enough
people,
but
again
that
takes
that
takes
more
manpower.
It
takes
more
time
because
officers
have
to
take
the
time
to
stop
and
just
talk
to
the
community
they're
dealing
with
to
find
out
what
their
concerns
are
in
problems
and.
A
As
we,
you
know,
kind
of
continue
down
this
road
of
more
and
more
body
cams.
How
do
you
think
that's
going
to
interact
with
with
the
public?
Do
you
think
that
television
stations
are
gonna
be
more
likely
to
want
to
show
things
and
how,
on
your
end,
how
do
you
provide
that
footage
to
the
media
and
other
people
who
want
to
see
a
copy
of
it.
D
Well,
there's
excuse
me,
there's
there's
a
lot
of
there's
a
their
state
law
that
requires
certain
things
for
us
to
release.
So
in
many
cases
we
don't
we
don't
have
a
choice
and
then
really
that's
a
good
thing.
I
mean
we
need
to
like
again.
If
you
don't,
you
have
the
cameras,
you
need
to
show
the
public.
What
we're
doing
the
hard
part
about
that
is
that
a
lot
of
times
the
public
doesn't
understand
what
they
see
police
officers
deal
with
they,
don't
they
don't
get
called
to
really
good
situations.
D
Nice
situation
so
they're
dealing
with
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
issues,
a
lot
of
people
that
are
troubled,
maybe
on
memory
on
drugs.
Maybe
they
have
a
mental
health
problems
at
least
they're
emotional,
about
something.
Something's
happened
that
we're
called
to
and
it's
it's
it's
a
volatile
situation.
So
in
many
ways
what
you
know
what
the
public
will
see
is
is
they'll
see
people
at
their
worst
and
officers
have
to
deal
with
them
at
their
worst
and
a
lot
of
times.
D
Officers
have
to
use
physical
force
and
even
though
we
may
define
it
as
as
appropriate,
a
lot
of
the
public
will
think
that
doesn't
look
right,
but
you
know
the
public
hasn't
seen
that
and
so
there's
there's
an
educational
process.
They
haven't
seen
that
and
but
it's
I
think
it's
good
it'll
take
it.
We
have
to
be
patient
and
we
have
to
ever
explain
ourselves
and
why
things
are
done
and
that's
I
think
that's
going
to
have
to
happen
when.
A
D
Homicide
I,
you
know
I,
always
tell
people
not
to
look
at
homicide
and
and
determine
what
what
what
the
rate
of
violence
is
within
a
community,
because
for
some
reason
homicides
do
fluctuate.
There's
a
lot
of
reasons.
I
mean
people
talk
about,
you
know
we
don't
have.
We
don't
have
as
many
homicides
is.
We
have
fewer
homicides
now
or
that
we
used
to
have
well,
you
know
what
response
and
medical
is
much
better
and
that
you
don't
take
that
into
effect.
D
If
you
look
at
statistics
back
in
the
50s
and
60s,
so
I
always
take
that
with
a
grain
of
salt.
As
far
as
you
know,
violence
is
down
if
you're,
only
looking
at
things
like
homicides
or
shootings,
or
things
like
that,
because
medical
has
has
improved
our
responses
have
improved.
So
you
know
that
being
said,
homicides
fluctuate
so
from
year
to
year.
You
can't
now.
If
they
go
up,
you
know
ken
you're
straight
then
that
that's
that's
a
pattern.
You
know,
that's
you
should
be
take.
D
You
know
take
that
into
consideration,
but
really
what
we
like
to
look
at
or
what
I
look
at
is
aggravated
assaults
period
and
our
assaults
over
the
years
up
2012
it
was.
We
had
been
on
the
rise
for
you
know
the
past
ten
years,
and
so
and
after
that,
some
of
the
things
we
did
in
some
of
the
initiatives
you
know
we
actually
reduce
that
and
and
salts
have
been
going
down
and
this
year
it's
it's
slightly
up.
D
A
E
Bark
we
are
not
just
stops
on
a
map
or
collection
of
random
people.
We
are
a
community
connected,
since
I
usually
don't
get
off
till
around
11
at
late
night
route
is
really
a
stress
reliever.
For
me,
our
choice
is
on
where
to
live,
work,
learn
meet
and
play
grow
with
the
connections
we
create
and
with
strong
connections,
come
economic
opportunities
and
vibrant
communities
where
public
transit
goes
community
grows
plan.
Your
journey
at
embargo,
k.com,
welcome.
A
F
F
F
A
F
Know
I
do
I.
My
first
song,
I
wrote
was
an
instrumental
song
and
since
I
am
self-taught
everything
I
just
kind
of
messed
around
the
guitar
and
for
a
while
and
came
up
with
this
piece
so
didn't
even
have
any
lyrics
or
anything.
I
didn't
really
know.
I
was
a
singer
until
a
little
bit
later,
but
yeah.
It
took
me
a
long
time
to
write
that
so
I
think
maybe
four
or
five
months,
but.
G
F
You
know
it
kind
of
just
evolved
into
that
I,
don't
think
it
was
ever
a
decision
I
had
to
make
you
feel,
like
it
kind
of,
chose
me
in
a
way
if
I
ever
stopped
doing
it.
It
was
just
you
know,
instant
sadness.
I
just
really
enjoyed
doing
it.
My
older
sister
grew
up,
loving
Garth,
Brooks
I,
think
we
all
kind
of
did
and
she
asked
for
a
guitar
when
you're
from
her
grandparents,
so
they
bought
her
a
guitar
and
I
was
always
grounded
in
trouble.
F
So
I
kind
of
taught
myself
how
to
play
and
I
think
right
around
when
I
left
for
college.
My
first
year,
I
think
was
when
I
really
knew
that
it's
what
I
wanted
to
do,
just
because
everything
else
that
came
with
college
and
classes
didn't
really
help
me
in
the
ways
of
art
and
music,
and
so
that
was
a
really
hard
struggle
for
me,
because
what
I
wanted
to
do
and
I
knew
at
that
point.
So
you.
F
So
it
really
just
happened
so
so
quickly
about
a
couple
years
ago,
I
played
this
fundraiser
for
an
organization
called
Jasper
house,
and
a
friend
of
mine
asked
me
to
play
it
at
City
Press
with
jb
actually
and
the
girl
that
runs
the
organization's
was
really
nice.
She's
from
Oklahoma
City
she's
a
right
around
my
age,
and
she
started
this
organization
for
younger
women
in
Haiti
that
are
trying
to
escape
prostitution
and
trafficking
and
all
these
things.
So
she
really
went
there
with
no
idea
about
the
language.
F
You
know
didn't
really
understand
any
of
the
culture
at
all
and
and
built
this
organization,
and
this
nonprofit
for
these
young
girls
and
I
ran
into
her
I
guess.
It
was
two
years
later,
which
was
recently
and
told
her.
I
was
going
to
come.
I,
don't
think
she
believed
me,
but
we
had
coffee
and
and
I
think
about
a
month
later,
I
was
I
was
there?
Would.
F
G
F
Definitely
and
I
obviously
had
no
idea
what
to
expect.
As
far
as
leaving
the
country
I've
been
to
Mexico
and
Canada
I
tried
to
prepare
myself
as
much
as
I
could,
but
you
really
can't
prepare
yourself
for
something
you
see
with
your
own
eyes.
I
was
very
sad,
but
there
are
also
really
beautiful
parts
to
it
as
well.
Their
lifestyle
and
I
think
that
I
got
acclimated
very
easily
to
call
showers,
and
you
know,
because
you
see
them
living
this
way
and
you
see
how
they
survive.
F
F
Song
no
way
you
know,
I
was
thinking
about
this
the
other
day
I,
it's
funny,
I
feel,
like
my
inspiration,
comes
to
me
most.
Whenever
I'm
someone's
upset
me
or
something
in
the
world
is
happening.
Upsets
me
makes
me
happy,
I,
don't
know,
it's
definitely
surrounds.
My
writing
surrounds
itself.
By
and
what's
going
on
in
the
world,
absolutely
well.
F
I
wrote
this
song
called
black
and
white,
and
it's
actually
it's
kind
of
like
a
picture:
black
and
white
of
my
own
life
and
how
music
is
kind
of
the
path
I've
chosen
for
myself,
regardless
of
if
it
makes
me
any
money
or
whatever
it's
so
that's
kind
of
what
that
song
is
about,
and
it's
on.
My
new
upcoming
record
I
haven't
quite
released
yet
so
right.
