A
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
March
2015
in
this
first
segment,
we're
going
to
learn
about
a
new
program
being
launched
by
the
Oklahoma
City
Police
Department.
It's
called
start
by
believing
and
to
tell
us
more
about
it.
A
First
of
all,
we
have
Kim
Garrett
she's,
the
victims,
services
coordinator
for
the
Oklahoma
City
Police,
Department,
Kim,
hello,
thank
you
and
Paco
Balderrama,
his
a
captain
with
the
Oklahoma
City
Police
Department
and
is
a
frequent
visitor
to
the
microphone
and
the
cameras.
He
is
often
that
the
face
behind
the
scenes
when
the
police
department
is
is
explaining
what
it
is
they're
trying
to
do
in
a
public
service
effort,
so
Kim.
Why
don't
you
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
this
specific
program?
What
are
we
trying
to
accomplish
absolutely.
B
Our
goal
is
to
be
a
start
by
believing
state
by
April,
2015
and,
what's
really
exciting,
is
entities
from
across
Oklahoma
of
all
come
together
about
a
dozen
agencies
have
come
across
the
state
and
all
been
working
together
to
launch
this,
and
it's
really
exciting,
because
it's
a
great
example
of
collaboration
and
partnership
and
how
much
more
you
can
do
by
working
together.
Well,.
C
Basically,
you
know
in
the
main,
the
planning
meetings
it's
a
very
appropriate
time,
because
April
is
Sexual,
Assault
Awareness
Month,
so
we
want
to
people,
make
people
aware
of
the
victims
that
they
go
through
this.
This
problem,
this
issue,
you
know
it's
very
important,
interesting
to
me
that
the
person
who
originally
started
in
violence
against
women
international
was
a
police
sergeant
from
San
Diego.
A
C
A
B
The
goal
is
public
awareness
and
the
reality
is
that
most
crime
victims
will
first
tell
a
family
member
or
friend,
and
that
their
response
will
really
dictate
what
they
do
next,
if
they
get
a
positive
response
and
they're
more
likely
to
move
forward
with
getting
support
services
from
like
a
rape
crisis
line,
calling
law
enforcement
making
a
report.
However,
if
they
receive
a
negative
response
which
oftentimes
crime
victims
do
there
blamed
for
what
happened,
then
they
decide
that
they
don't
want
to
move
forward.
They
don't
want
to.
B
You
know,
get
services
and
it
can
be
really
hindering
and
go
back
to
what
you
were
just
saying
a
minute
ago.
Research
shows
that
sex
offenders
will
repeat
their
violence
and
there's
an
average
of
about
six
victims
so
that
a
rapist
will
rape
six
women,
and
so,
if
we
don't
help
the
first
one,
it
becomes
then
a
public
safety
issue,
because
they're
going
to
repeat
and
reoffend
other
women
children,
it's
very
dangerous
Kim.
A
I've
had
people
tell
me
well,
I,
didn't
report
it
at
the
time
or
the
next
day,
and
now
it's
been
a
week
or
two
weeks,
and
so
the
police
aren't
going
to
be
interested
now.
What's
your
response
to
someone
who
who
might
think
they
didn't
report
it
immediately
that
the
crime
can
no
longer
be
investigated?
Well,.
B
But
police
are
always
interested
and
I
in
identifying
trends
and
reaching
out
to
victims
in
stopping
sex
offenders,
and
things
like
that,
and
so
if
a
few
weeks
have
gone
by
you're
still
obviously
able
to
come
forward
and
report
it,
and
we
encourage
that
and
just
so,
they
can
at
least
learn
about
their
rights,
the
resources
that
are
available
to
them,
and
things
like
that
and
I
can
think
of
several
cases
that
we've
had
where
there
was
delayed,
reporting
and
there's
still
been
a
positive
outcome.
What.
A
What
about
the
resources
that
are
available
for
a
victim?
You
know
we
talked
about
that.
You
know
the
criminal
process
or
the
criminal
penalties
for
a
person
who's
the
assailant,
but
what
about
a
person?
Is
a
victim
what's
available
for
them
through
this
program
and
through
this
thing,
kind
of
the
normal
of
the
healing
process.
Okay,.
B
And
there's
actually
a
lot
of
resources
in
our
community
and
one
obviously
the
YWCA
and
there's
a
statewide
safe
line
which
victims
can
call
and
learn
about
what
their
resources
are,
what
their
rights
are.
Maybe
what
they
should
do
things
like
that
and
which
can
be
really
empowered
powering
for
them
to
learn
about
the
resources
and
they
have
the
option
to
go
forward
and
get
a
forensics
examination,
a
sane
exam
and
to
collect
evidence
if
they
decide
they
want.
You
know
to
file
police
report
if
they
don't
want
our
bio
police
report.
B
There's
national
hotlines
available
for
people
there's
like
internet
chat
groups,
I
mean
victim.
Resources
are
getting
very
creative,
there's
even
I've
seen
iphone
apps
things
like
that,
and
so
social
media
is
kind
of
catching
up
to
what
victims
need
and
identifying
what
their
needs
are
and
trying
to
best
respond
to
how
they
want
to
receive
those
services.
Mm-Hmm.
A
What
I'm
sensing
here
is
is
that
this
program
is
really
almost
victim-centered.
It's
you
know
we
we
already
have
certain.
You
know,
procedures
in
place
with
the
district
attorney's
office
and
through
the
police
and
through
detectives
about
investigating
crimes,
but
victims
are
often
overlooked
and
and
I
think,
by
providing
a
more
helpful
support
group
and
reminding
people
that
they
have
a
role
you,
knowing
your
friend
and
your
family's
lives.
There's
there's,
there's
still
a
lot
of
good
that
can
come
out
of
the
healing
process.
B
I
know
that
support
can
be
instrumental
for
people,
whether
it
from
law
enforcement
from
advocates
from
family
members
that
can
make
such
a
huge
difference
for
crime
victims
as
they
move
forward.
Crime
victims
are
have
a
high
percentage
of
if
they
don't
get
any
type
of
positive
intervention,
getting
post-traumatic
stress,
disorder,
anxiety
and
developing
depression
and
substance,
abuse,
suicidal
ideation,
and
things
like
that,
and
so
research
has
shown
time
and
time
again
that
that
intervention,
a
positive
intervention,
can
be
crucial
in
helping
victims
to
move
forward
and
heal.
C
You
know
I
just
wanted
to
stress
that
it's
definitely
an
educational
campaign.
We
want
the
public
to
know
what
resources
are
out.
There.
That's
going
to
be
listed
on
the
Facebook
page
on
the
brochure
that
we're
going
to
give
out
to
victims
and
officers
alike,
but
you
know
it's.
It
really
is,
as
you
put
it
victim,
centered
start
by
believing
start
by
believing
the
victim.
That's
what
we
can
do
for
right,
starting
right
now,
this
very
days
we
can
start
by
believing
that
victim
they
walks
into
the
police
station.
C
It
may
have
a
kind
of
a
crazy
or
Outlander
story,
but
you
know
once
we
get
down
to
the
to
the
center
of
what
actually
happened.
They
were
the
victim
of
a
crime
and
it's
very
important
to
focus
on
the
victim
because
they're,
the
ones
who
were
trying
to
protect
you
know
we
want
justice
for
the
victim.
So
so
that's
you
know
it's
in
the
phrase
of
the
campaign.
It's
what
we're
focused
on.
You
know.
We
are
officers,
deal
with
a
lot
of
people
who
who
are
victims
and
occasionally
we
do
get
the
story.
C
That
is,
it
turns
out
to
be
false,
but
you
know
statistics
show
the
data,
that's
actually
very
low.
You
know
five
to
eight
percent
of
the
sexual
assault.
Reports
are
actually
Falls.
Well,
there's
still
another.
Ninety
two
percent
that
are
that
are
that
actually
did
happen.
So
we
have
to
focus
on
that
and
just
I
believe
the
victim
give
them
the
services
that
they
deserve
and
also
do
our
best
to
catch
the
person
that
did
it.
You
know
earlier.
You
guys
discuss
about
reporting
quickly.
C
Well,
yeah,
that's
always
to
our
to
our
advantage
to
get
the
information
as
quickly
as
possible.
So
we
can
gather
that
evidence,
but
also
you
know
if
that
victim
decides
to
wait
a
couple
of
days.
Look
as
long
as
you
still
have
the
clothes
that
they
wore.
You
know
we
can
still
gather
a
lot
of
good
evidence
from
from
that
DNA
evidence,
but
you
know
we
want
them
to
come
forward,
but
they're
not
going
to
come
forward
unless
they
feel
supported
and
embraced
by
law
enforcement,
but
also
by
the
community.
C
You
know
a
sexual
assault
is
one
of
the
unique
types
of
crimes
where
you
know.
If
somebody
suffers
a
loss
from
traffic
accident,
you
don't
you
don't
ask
them
what
they
did
to
contribute
to
that
traffic
accent
well,
for
whatever
reason,
rape
and
sexual
assault.
You
know
what
did
you
do
is
sometimes
the
response,
the
incorrect
response.
Well,
we
want
to
remove
that
and
say:
look.
We
can
help
you,
it's
not
your
fault,
let's
call
the
police,
that's,
let's
get
some
services.
Let's
get
you
some
help
and
that's
what
we
want
the
attitude
to
be.
C
A
Is
called
the
start
by
believing
campaign
Paco
balderama
Kim
Garrett,
with
the
Oklahoma
City
Police
Department,
thanks
so
much
for
coming
on
the
show
and
reminding
us
the
importance
of
being
a
part
of
a
support
group
for
women
who
have
been
the
victim
of
sexual
violence
and
getting
them
to
report
these
crimes
thanks
very
much.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
I'll
have
more
on
the
mayor's
magazine
right
after
this
hello.
D
I'm
sergeant
tompa
kiani
laws
about
the
illegal
parking
handicapped
spaces
have
become
a
lot
tougher.
Your
car
can
be
told
if
you're
parking
in
a
handicapped
parking
zone
without
a
permit
on
display,
plus
the
new
law,
allows
a
two
hundred
fifty
dollar
fine,
ever
notice
the
stripe
lines
next
to
some
handicap
spaces.
It's
illegal
to
park
there
too
that's
basis,
so
my
friend
mark
and
others
who
use
a
wheelchair
can
get
in
and
out.
D
A
Back
to
the
mayor's
magazine
in
this
segment,
we're
going
to
meet
someone
who's
fairly
new
to
the
Oklahoma
City
area,
but
he's
taking
out
a
very
important
role
in
our
community.
It's
tim,
rogers
and
tim
is
the
director
of
the
metro
library
system,
Tim.
Welcome
to
the
mayor's
magazine,
Thank
You,
mr.
mayor,
whenever
we
have
someone
who's
kind
of
new
to
the
program
are
new
to
them
to
kind
of
the
city
leadership
I
always
like
to
let
them
know
let
the
audience
know
a
little
bit
more
about
them.
E
E
Was
actually
funded
through
contributions
from
the
individual
communities
of
interest,
the
constituent
groups,
and
so
everybody
paid
a
portion
of
they
paid
their
own
way.
I
guess
you
would
say
right
and
because
of
that,
what
we
were
able
to
do.
We
provided
digital
content
and
services.
So
with
more
on
the
digital
library
side
of
things.
A
E
My
my
daughter
lives
up
in
Topeka
Kansas,
and
so
my
wife
and
I
had
been
thinking
about
moving
back
to
the
Midwest
wanting
to
be
closer
to
her
family.
My
wife's
family
lives
also
up
in
Topeka
and,
and
so
we
had
the
interest
of
coming
back.
This
job
metropolitan
library
system
is
well
known
across
the
United.
E
A
Let's
talk
about
the
ways
that
libraries
are
evolving,
we
all
know
that
a
lot
of
people
are
reading
books
now
on
their
on
their
iPad
or
some
sort
of
notebook
and
that
fewer
people
might
be
holding
a
book,
and
we
hear
about
kids
going
to
school
and
they're,
not
even
issued
books,
anymore,
they're,
just
downloaded
onto
their
to
their
laptop
or
or
their
their
notebook.
That's
a
vastly
different
world
than
books
had
existed
for
you
know
over
a
hundred
years.
So
how
is
Howard
libraries
adapting
to
the
digital
age?
That's.
E
A
great
question:
I
do
think
that
libraries
are
struggling
more
so
than
schools
have
been
primarily
because
of
the
way
the
publishing
industry
works.
But
I
can
say
here
at
Metro
we
have.
We
have
really
worked
toward
incorporating
the
digital
content
into
the
regular
flow.
Seventy
percent
of
our
collection
is
still
print
based
and
about
sixty
percent
of
the
circulation
or
the
checkouts
are
those
physical
books.
E
More
and
more
baby
boomers
senior
citizens
are
getting
iPads
and
tablets
and
other
readers
and
and
so
we're
seeing
that
that
is
really
crossing
all
demographics
now
I
think
that
I
mentioned
the
publishing
industry
being
sort
of
the
inhibitor
to
this
right
now
in
the
past,
libraries
have
always
been
able
to
buy
print
books
with
some
of
the
digital
content.
It's
actually
very
difficult
for
libraries
to
buy
it
it's
available
in
kindle,
but
it
may
not
be
available
in
a
way
that
a
library
can
purchase
it.
E
E
That
there
are
some
libraries
that
have
tried
to
go
that
way
already
bear
County
down
in
San.
Antonio
area
in
Texas
has
actually
tried
to
incorporate
a
digital
digital,
only
branches,
where
they
really
focus
more
on,
like
a
almost
like
a
lab
environment,
and
it's
usually
when
that's
most
successful
is
when
the
community
does
not
the
the
people
in
the
community
don't
have
access
to
the
devices
or
the
the
material
itself.
E
Otherwise,
so
the
library
provides
it
I
think
for
for
Metro,
I,
wouldn't
say
that
any
time
in
the
in
the
the
near
future
we'll
get
to
that
I
do
think
that
obviously
more
and
more
content
is
available
online.
But
I
think
that
there's
still
a
compelling
reason
for
a
lot
of
folks
to
have
books
and
and
the
physical
medium
it
it's
it
may
not
be.
E
It
may
not
be
commercially
feasible
to
digitize
everything
in
every
library,
but
there
have
been
major
universities
that
gone
on
digitization
bends
with
Dooku
was
actually
one
in
University
of
North
Carolina.
Even
here
in
this
state,
oklahoma,
state
and
university
of
oklahoma
have
digitized
good
portions
of
their
collections,
but
there's
a
lot
that
it
costs
a
lot
of
money
to
do
that
and
there's
a
lot
that
still
is
unknown,
say
undo
ties
but
still
in
print.
E
E
You
bet
we
have
19
libraries
across
the
county
and
those
19
libraries
are
served
by
550
employees
that
that
sort
of
the
750,000
people
that
live
in
and
work
across
the
county.
Of
course,
we
have
large
ones,
we
have
smaller
ones,
but
what
we
we
work
with
each
of
the
communities
each
of
the
cities.
Oklahoma
city
is,
of
course,
our
biggest
partner
in
in
that
delivery
of
service,
but
we
also
work
with
cities
like
jones
and
Luther
and
nicoma
park
and
others
Edmond
to
provide
services
across
all
of
the
borders
of
Oklahoma
County,
good
I.
E
E
It
is
both
the
digital
content,
but
we
also
provide
programs
and
services
that
that
everyone
needs,
whether
it's
job
creation
type
things
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
start
your
own
business,
whether
it's
student
learning
or
even
something
as
simple
as
going
to
a
musical
program
that
is
presented
to
the
library
or
at
the
library.
People
want
to
go
to
a
place,
that's
in
their
community,
where
they
can
really
interact
with
each
other
and
the
library
is
that
that
living
room
of
the
community
Tim.
G
A
Welcome
back
to
the
mayor's
magazine
in
this
segment,
we're
going
to
learn
more
about
the
upcoming
Oklahoma
City
memorial
marathon
and
molly
bennett
is
here
Molly
welcome
to
the
show.
Thank
you
yeah.
This
is
your
fourth
year,
I
guess
in
yeah
kind
of
overseeing
the
race.
Let's
talk
about
how
this
race
has
grown
from
gosh
I
when
it
started
with
15.
A
G
G
G
G
A
G
G
We,
this
is
the
15th
anniversary,
but
it's
also
the
20th
anniversary
of
the
Oklahoma
City
bombing,
so
we
will
have
we've
invited
you,
no
survivors
and
rescue
workers
and
family
members
to
take
part,
and
we
hope
see
them
at
a
reunion
on
the
finish
line,
and
so
that's
special,
that's
something
we
haven't
done
before,
but
other
than
that.
There's
not
a
lot
of
changes
same
course,
so
we're
just
hoping
to
get
some
more
participants
well.
G
A
G
They're,
not
we
have
a
5k
and
people
walk
that
all
the
time
people
bring
strollers
and
we
have
a
kid's
race.
That's
1.2
miles
and
people
do
that.
We
also
have
a
really
a
five
person
relay
with
2
5
k's,
2,
10
KS
and
a
12
gauge.
So
some
people,
you
know,
sign
up
a
lot
of
businesses
and
companies
sign
up
for
that
with
their
co-workers.
So
we
do
have
a
lot
for
everybody.
Question.
A
G
A
G
G
A
And
you've
had
all
sorts
of
weather,
oh
yeah,
every
bit
of
weather.
Of
course
it's
April
in
Oklahoma,
so
you're
gonna
have
all
but
you've
had
yummy
had
rain.
You've
had
cold
you've
had
your
pet,
it
too
hot.
Yes,
we
have,
and-
and
so
if,
if
you,
the
race
director,
we're
going
to
give
an
exact
temperature,
the
race
that
you
would
like
it
to
be,
what
would
it
be?
What
would
be
the
optimal.
G
We
would
that
a
perfect
day
would
start
in
the
40s
and
then
cool
off
to
maybe
the
high
beast
70.
That
would
be
a
perfect
race
day,
but
we've
we've
had
some.
You
know.
Last
year
we
had
a
two
hour
rain
delay
because
of
lightning
so,
and
we've
had
sleet
one
year
and
hail
we're
hoping
this
year
for
just
a
pleasant
cool
morning.
So
and.
A
G
We
do
have
first
church,
that's
right
across
the
street
from
the
memorial
does
a
blessing
of
the
shoes
and
thousand
people
come
thousands
of
people
come
for
that
and
they
get
their
shoes
blessed,
and
then
they
walk
on
over
to
the
finish
line.
So
there's
people
there
starting
around
five
and
they
just
kind
of
linger
around
the
memorial,
some
go
to
visit
the
chairs
and
the
survivor
tree
because
a
lot
of
people
aren't
from
the
city.
So
they
like
to
go.
You
know,
pay
their
respects.
A
lot
of
people
run
an
honor
right.
A
At
someone
well-
and
you
bring
up
a
point
that
you
know
I
remember
when
that
when
the
bombing
occurred
you
know
as
a
city,
we
were
struggling
to
figure
out
how
we
reflect
on
the
concept
that
the
rest
of
the
world
was
exposed
to
it.
They
saw
it.
People
were
getting
off
the
interstate
and
wanted
to
go,
see
the
bombing
side.
A
G
A
A
And
when
those
hundreds
come
in
I
mean
because
of
when
the
race
is
run,
you're
going
to
spend
the
night
in
Oklahoma,
City,
you're,
probably
going
to
end
up
spending
the
weekend
yeah
here
so
I
mean
you
know.
One
night
is
X
amount
of
dollars.
Two
nights
is
X
amount
of
dollars
when
you
start
to
compound
that
into
over
20,000
runners,
I
mean
that
this
is
a
tremendous
impact
on
our
city.
Yes,.
