[I. Welcome & Mindful Moment – Allison Thummel, SHAC Chair]
[00:00:07]
MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE? WE'RE GOING TO GET STARTED, AND WE'VE REALLY ENJOYED CHIT CHATTING, BUT LET'S WIND IT DOWN. PLEASE UM, SO THE FOURTH DYNASTY SHACK MEETING IS AN OPEN MEETING FOR THE PUBLIC TO ATTEND OR VIEW. THE TIME IS 1219 ON DECEMBER 6TH 2023, AND THIS MEETING IS OFFICIALLY CALLED TO ORDER NOTICE OF THIS MEETING HAS BEEN POSTED ONLINE AND AT THE FORT BENNING ADMINISTRATION BUILDING FOR AT LEAST 72 HOURS. THE MEETING IS BEING RECORDED AND MEETING MINUTES WILL BE POSTED TO THE FBI. SEE SHOCK WEB PAGE. AGED WITHIN 10 DAYS. IF WE HAVE THE ATTENDANCE OF QUORUM, WE WILL BE ASKING FOR VOTES. WE ASKED THAT AT THIS TIME, EVERYBODY SILENCE YOUR PHONE AND PLEASE HOLD COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS UNTIL EACH PRESENTER IS DONE. SO ONCE AGAIN WELCOME TO THE MEETING. MY NAME IS ALISON THERMAL. I AM THE PARENT CHAIR FOR THE DISTRICT FOR THE SHOCK MEETING. WE APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE AS WE STARTED THE MEETING. SO WE HAVE A REALLY FUN, EXCITING MEETING. WE MIGHT CUT IT A LITTLE BIT SHORT DEPENDING ON HER TIMING. UM BUT I WANT TO START WITH OUR MINDFUL MOMENT OF SO I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT SOMEONE IN YOUR LIFE WHO IS OLD? OKAY OR MAYBE MAYBE SOMEONE WHO HAS ALREADY GONE ON INTO HEAVEN, BUT THINK ABOUT SOMEONE IN YOUR LIFE THAT IS AGING. WELL DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO'S IN THEIR SEVENTIES EIGHTIES NINETIES 100, WHO'S ACTIVE AND VIBRANT AND REALLY LIVING A GOOD LIFE. SO IN OUR MINDFUL MOMENT, I WANT YOU TO JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES AND JUST KIND OF THINK ABOUT THAT PERSON AND FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU LIKE ABOUT THAT PERSON WENT. WHAT CHARACTERISTICS WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE WHEN YOU'RE THAT AGE? AND THEN I WILL SHOW YOU A PICTURE OF MY PERSON. SO THIS IS DR KENNETH COOPER. HAS ANYBODY HEARD OF AEROBICS? YES OKAY. SO KENNETH COOPER WHEN WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY WANTED THE DEFINITION OF AEROBICS, THEY CALLED HIM SO HE IS A PHYSICIAN UP IN DALLAS. HE OWNS THE COOPER INSTITUTE, AND HE IS MY PROFESSIONAL HERO.
HE'S THE REASON I WANTED TO HEALTH EDUCATION AND PROMOTION, AND HE LITERALLY CHANGED THE TRAJECTORY OF MY LIFE. SO WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT, I THINK HE'S 93. I THINK I LOOKED HIM UP A FEW WEEKS AGO, AND I THINK HE'S 93. HE'S STILL I BELIEVE, STILL RUNS. HE WAS RUNNING IN HIS LADIES. HE'S A PHENOMENAL PERSON , AND WHEN I THINK OF LIFELONG WELLNESS AND ACTIVITY AND VIBRANCY, HE'S ONE OF THE PEOPLE I THINK ABOUT. SO I HOPE THAT AS WE GO THROUGH THIS MEETING, YOU CAN BRING YOUR OWN THOUGHTS OF HEALTH, WELLNESS SAFETY. WE WANT EVERYBODY IN THEIR EIGHTIES TO BE LIVING AS GOOD OF A LIFE AS YOU CAN. NINETIES MY GOAL IS TO REACH 105. I'M HOPING THAT LIKE THEY CAN START A NEW CATEGORY AFTER RUNNERS 200 PLUS BECAUSE THEY STOPPED AT 99. SO ANYWAY, SECOND, I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT WHAT IS YOUR PERSONAL OBJECTIVE OF THIS MEETING? WE DID THIS LAST TIME. AND YOU WROTE ON STICKY NOTES. BUT I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT WHY ARE YOU HERE? WHAT ARE YOU HOPING TO GET OUT OF THIS MEETING? THE THIRD THING WE WANT TO ENSURE THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BROUGHT FOOD. WE ASKED FOR THE PAST TWO MEETINGS THAT EVERYBODY CONTRIBUTE FOOD DRIVE FOR THE SHARED DREAMS, SHARED DREAMS RECENTLY CELEBRATED 35 YEARS. UM SO WE HAVE THIS. IT WAS A CUTE LITTLE FLYER IF YOU WANT TO SCAN AND YOU DIDN'T BRING DONATIONS, BUT YOU'D LIKE TO EITHER DONATE FOOD IN THE FUTURE OR IF YOU'D LIKE TO DONATE MONEY. THE Q. R CODES ARE RESOURCES AND REMEMBER, THESE SLIDES WILL GO OUT TO YOU. SO IF YOU WANT TO GET THE QR CODE WHEN THE SLIDES GO OUT, THAT'S CERTAINLY ANOTHER WAY YOU CAN SUPPORT SHARED DREAMS. WE HAVE A QUICK VIDEO AND I THINK IT FOR THE SAKE OF TIME WE'LL SKIP IT. MISS PILE.
PANDIT IS OUR, UM, PERSON IN THE DISTRICT WHO WORKS WITH SHARED DREAMS, AND SHE DID A COUPLE OF MINUTES. INTERVIEW FOR THE 35 35TH ANNIVERSARY OF SHARED DREAMS. SO IF YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND YOU WANT TO GO BACK AND WATCH THIS VIDEO, I'M SURE SHE'D APPRECIATE IT. OKAY AT THIS TIME, I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE THE SHACK NEW MEMBERS. IF YOUR NAME IS UP HERE, IF YOU WOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE STANDING IF I COULD HAVE 12345 THE FIVE OF YOU ALL STAND IF YOU ARE AND I DON'T WANT TO SAY LESS NAMES, OKAY? OH YOU KNOW WHAT? OKAY LET'S SEE. WE'LL START WITH YOU.
IF YOU COULD JUST SAY YOUR NAME AND YOUR POSITIONS UP HERE. OKAY. DR CRAIG. TEMPEST BOY.

[00:05:05]

FEBRUARY. SO AT THIS TIME, WE HAVE A REALLY EXCITING PRESENTER MISS JEANETTE LAST LEAST ONE.LET'S STRAP. SHE AND I HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATING BACK AND FORTH FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS. WE'VE GOT THE TECHNOLOGY AND SHE'S SURE TO HAVE AN ENGAGING PRESENTATION SO MUCH AND LET ME.
ALL RIGHT. PERFECT THERE WE GO. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME TODAY I AM GENITAL A STRAP AND I WORK AT M. D ANDERSON CANCER CENTER, AND I WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS FOR HAVING ME BUT ALSO I APPRECIATE THE MINDFUL MOMENT. UM AND I WANT TO SAY THAT EVEN THOUGH MD ANDERSON IS A CANCER CENTER, AND WE TREAT CANCER, WE DO A LOT OF UM OF COMMUNITY WORK AND HEALTH EDUCATION BECAUSE WE WANT TO EDUCATE FOLKS ON THE IMPORTANCE OF KNOWING THAT CANCER CAN BE PREVENTED AS WELL. AND SO TODAY, UM PARENTS AND ADULTS SORRY. THIS PRESENTATION IS REALLY THE PRESENTATION THAT WE HAVE FOR OUR STUDENTS. AND SO STUDENTS JUST KNOW THIS PRESENTATION IS CREATED FOR YOU. BUT ALSO WE CAN DO THIS PRESENTATION AT YOUR CAMPUS AS WELL. ALRIGHT SO TOBACCO USE IS THE SINGLE MOST PREVENTABLE CAUSE OF DISEASE, DISABILITY AND DEATH IN THE UNITED STATES, UM, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DIE EVERY YEAR FROM THE USE OF TOBACCO. AND UM, SO I REALIZED THIS PRESENTATION KIND OF SKIPPED REALLY QUICK. SO I'M GONNA GO KIND OF QUICK BECAUSE I KNOW I WAS ONLY SUPPOSED TO HAVE, I THINK, 15 MINUTES. BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT FORMS OF TOBACCO. SO FIRST YOU HAVE TRADITIONAL SACRED TOBACCO, BUT THE MORE COMMON FORM OF TOBACCO THAN MOST OF US MAY KNOW OR KNOW OF FOLKS THAT ACTUALLY USED TOBACCO IS SMOKING TOBACCO.
SO YOU HAVE CIGARETTES. YOU HAVE CIGARS. YOU HAVE PIPES AND THEN YOU HAVE HOOKAH AND SO I HAVE A LITTLE QUICK VIDEO ON THE NEXT SLIDE. THAT'S GOING TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION ABOUT HOOKAH AND SO AGAIN. THIS IS A KIND OF SHORTENED VERSION OF THE PRESENTATION THAT WE NORMALLY DO OUT IN THE COMMUNITY. YEAH.
YEAH. ALL RIGHT. SLIDE. HOLD ON JUST A SECOND. ALRIGHT PERFECT. SO UM ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE VIDEO SAID IS THERE ARE NO SAFE FORM OF TOBACCO USE. AND SO HERE WE HAVE YET ANOTHER VIDEO THAT'S GOING TO TALK ABOUT TOBACCO SMOKE WAS TOBACCO, CIGARETTES AND OTHER TOBACCO PRODUCTS TO YOUR MOUTH. NOTICE THAT THE TEETH ARE PRETTY WHITE. SMOKING OR USING SNUFF OR DIP CAN STAIN YOUR TEETH AND YELLOWISH, BROWNISH COLOR. DID THESE CAVITIES? TOBACCO HAS CAUSED THESE TEETH TO DECAY. SMOKING AND USING SNOW OR GET CAN ALSO LEAD TO SORES ON THE GUMS. GUM DISEASE LIKE HERE WHERE THE GUNS ARE ALREADY IRRITATED. IF THEY'RE REALLY BAD DISEASE, YOUR TEETH MAKE ALL OUT. THAT'S WHY MR GROSS NOT MISSING IT, TOO. SMOKING AND USING OTHER TOBACCO PRODUCTS ALSO INCREASES YOUR RISK FOR MOUTH CANCER. YOU CAN GET CANCER HERE ON THE GUMS OR
[00:10:03]
UNDER THE TONGUE. YOU CAN ALSO GET CANCER ON THE ROOF OF YOUR MOUTH OR EVEN ON THE TONGUE ITSELF. SO YOU DON'T WANT A MOUTH LIKE MR GROSS SMELL. DON'T SMOKE. THEY ARE YOU STIFF OR SNAP. REMEMBER THERE IS NO SAFE FORM OF TOBACCO. THIS IS A JOB. TAR TAR IS A STICKY BLACK SUBSTANCE CREATED WHEN CHEMICALS ARE BURNT AND MELT TOGETHER. TARS ALSO CREATED AND HELD. DO YOU SMOKE CIGARETTES AND YES, IT'S THE SAME TIME I USED TO BUILD ROADS. YOU DON'T WANT TO STICKY SUBSTANCE IN YOUR LUNGS. IT'S STAYING THE LUNGS OF BLACKISH BROWN COLOR AND DAMAGES THEM. TRYING YOUR LUNGS MAY LEAD TO LUNG CANCER, EMPHYSEMA OR OTHER LONG PROBLEMS THAT CAN MAKE IT HARD TO BREATHE. AMOUNT OF TRYING. THIS JAR IS THE SAME AMOUNT THAT WE'RE GOING TO YOUR LONDON YOU SMOKE 10 CIGARETTES A DAY FOR ONE YEAR. IMAGINE ALL THAT STICKY TAR IN YOUR LOVE.REMEMBER THERE IS NO SAFE FORM OF TOBACCO. ALRIGHT PERFECT. AND I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THAT IS MS MONIQUE, WHO DOES MOST OF HER. SHE'S OUR COMMUNITY ALLIANCES. RESIDENT TOBACCO EXPERT TOBACCO PREVENTION EXPERTS. SO IF YOU HAVE HER COMING OUT TO YOUR CAMPUS THEN THAT IS WHO WILL ACTUALLY BE DOING YOUR PRESENTATION? I DON'T KNOW HOW I ACCIDENTALLY PUT SUBTITLES ON HERE. LET'S SEE. THIS IS A NEW COMPUTER. I KNOW. ALRIGHT, LET'S SEE. ALRIGHT SO NOW IN CIGARETTES, SO E CIGARETTES ARE ELECTRONIC DEVICES, WE CALL THEM IN ELECTRONIC NICOTINE DELIVERY SYSTEMS. THEY'RE ALSO CALLED VAPES JEWELS. THEY GO BY A LOT OF DIFFERENT NAMES, BUT BASICALLY THEY'RE BATTERY OPERATED DEVICES THAT TYPICALLY HAVE NICOTINE ON THE INSIDE. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN PROVEN TO BE SAFE. AND SO WHAT WE'VE ALSO REALIZED IS THAT THEY ARE POSSIBLE GATEWAYS TO TOBACCO SMOKING, AND THAT'S SIMPLY BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT UM ARE YOU THAT WE KNOW THAT HAVE STARTED USING THESE PRODUCTS, THEY ACTUALLY GET ADDICTED TO THE NICOTINE, AND THEN THEY ACTUALLY GO ON TO OTHER, UM, NICOTINE PRODUCTS, WHICH REALLY CONSISTS OF TOBACCO THINGS LIKE, UM CIGARS, CIGARETTES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE, AND I DID WANT TO POINT OUT. I THINK I WENT A LITTLE TOO FAST, BUT CIGARETTES, WHICH CIGARETTES WHICH ARE THE MOST COMMON FORMER TOBACCO AND ONE LITTLE CIGARETTE. CAN ANYONE GUESS? HOW MANY IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS PRESENTATION BEFORE? HOW MANY CHEMICALS ARE IN ONE LITTLE UNLIT CIGARETTE? JUST THROW IT OUT. 802 100. 10,000 SOLD. THEY'RE ACTUALLY 4000 CHEMICALS. AND SO I ALWAYS SAY, YOU KNOW, EVERYONE. I HAVE A RECIPE. I LIKE TO MAKE CAKES SO I HAVE MY OWN RECIPE FOR CERTAIN CASE WELL, THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY AND DIFFERENT PRODUCTS. THEY HAVE THEIR OWN RECIPES RIGHT SO THAT 2000 COULD EITHER BE FROM THINGS THAT THEY PUT IN THERE ARE JUST NATURALLY OCCURRING FROM THE TOBACCO PLANT. WELL, HOWEVER, WHEN YOU LIGHT A TOBACCO PRODUCT OR PARTICULARLY THIS CIGARETTE ON FIRE BECAUSE OF THE ACT OF COMBUSTION IT KEEPS IT CREATES AN ADDITIONAL 5000. 1000 CIGARETTE 5000 CHEMICALS, AND SO WHEN A PERSON IS SMOKING A CIGARETTE AND THEY'RE INHALING THAT THAT THEY'RE IN ESSENCE INHALING ABOUT 5 7000 CHEMICALS, AND SO WHAT'S IN A CIGARETTE? SO AS YOU CAN SEE, ON THE SCREEN, UM YOU HAVE THINGS LIKE DDT, WHICH IS AN INSECTICIDE. YOU HAVE VINYL CHLORIDE, WHICH IS FOUND IN PLASTIC. YOU HAVE SULFURIC ACID, WHICH IS FOUND IN BATTERIES. YOU HAVE BUTANE, WHICH IS FOUND IN LIGHTER FLUID, AND THEN YOU ALSO HAVE AS A TONE, WHICH IS FOUND IN NAIL POLISH. BUT THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE THINGS AND THEN YOU ALSO HAVE NICOTINE. SO WHAT IS NICOTINE? NICOTINE IS BASICALLY THE UM, BOOK POISON THAT THE TOBACCO PLANT, UM CREATES JUST IN NATURE, SO IT'S A NATURAL THING THAT COMES ABOUT BECAUSE OF TOBACCO PLANT. THEN YOU HAVE AMMONIA, WHICH IS FOUND IN MOST HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS ARE CLEANERS. YOU HAVE METHANOL, WHICH IS, UH, ROCKET FUEL. YOU HAVE CARBON MONOXIDE, WHICH YOU KNOW ALL OF US. NO. CARBON MONOXIDE IS SOME OF THE AS YOU CAN SEE, COMING OUT OF THE BACK OF A PIPE OF AN OLD CAR, BUT IT'S ONE OF THE MORE DANGEROUS UH, I GUESS BYPRODUCTS OR CHEMICALS FROM SMOKING, AND THAT'S BECAUSE IT CAN KIND OF IT GOES INTO OUR BLOODSTREAM, AND IT KICKS OUT THE OXYGEN MOLECULES. AND SO IT REALLY IS DANGEROUS TO ALL OF OUR ORGANS IN OUR BODY, AND THEN YOU HAVE RAT POISON. UM WHICH ARSENIC, WHICH IS IN TOBACCO SMOKE, AND THEN METHANE GAS, WHICH IS ANIMAL MANURE, AND THEN ALSO THE BUTANE, WHICH IS THE LIGHTER FLUID. SO SOME OF THE DANGERS OF TOBACCO OF COURSE, A LOT OF
[00:15:03]
PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THIS BUT HEART DISEASE. SO A LOT OF SMOKERS, HEAVY SMOKERS AND FOLKS THAT LIVE IN OUR WORK IN A HEAVILY SMOKING SITUATION. THEY DIE FROM HEART DISEASE, OR THEY CAN GET HAVE A LOT OF ISSUES WITH HEART THAT LIKE HEART ATTACK, HEART DISEASE. ALSO STROKE. A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE SMOKERS CAN HAVE STROKES. WHICH OF COURSE, IS KIND OF LIKE ANOTHER ATTACK ON THE BRAIN. LUNG DISEASES SO NOT JUST LUNG CANCER, BUT ALSO EMPHYSEMA, CHRONIC BRONCHITIS, THINGS LIKE THAT. AND THEN, UNFORTUNATELY, SOME WOMEN THAT TEND TO SMOKE WHILE THEY'RE PREGNANT. THEY CAN HAVE LOBERG BIRTH WEIGHT BABIES, AND THEN I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT TOBACCO CAUSES THE MOST LUNG CANCER DEATHS, UM, THAT THERE ARE. SO THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE CANCERS THAT ARE LINKED TO TOBACCO USE, OF COURSE , LONG IS GOING TO BE TOP OF THE LIST. BUT ALL SORTS OF CANCERS ARE ALL SORTS OF ORGANS ARE ACTUALLY, UM THEY ARE CAN BE AFFECTED BY CIGARETTE SMOKE AS WELL. I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE YOU KNOW, SMOKE GOES ANYWHERE. I'M JUST LIKE IF YOU WERE TO START SMOKING IN THIS ROOM, YOU CAN GO IN ALL SORTS OF CREVICES AND CRACKS, AND THAT'S THE SAME THING WITH OUR BODY. WHEN WE WERE INHALING THAT SMOKE, IT CAN GO TO ALL SORTS IN DIFFERENT PLACES OF OUR BODY. AND ONE LAST . VIDEO AND THIS VIDEO.ACTUALLY, I JUST WANT TO SAY THIS VIDEO ACTUALLY SHOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HEALTHY LONG UM AND AN UNHEALTHY LUNG. AND SO YOU ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AFTER THE FACT? AND THESE TWO SETS OF LUNGS. THIS SET IS PINK AND HEALTHY. THEY REPRESENT THE LUNGS OF A HEALTHY PERSON. BUT THIS SAID, DOESN'T LOOK SO GREAT. THEY REPRESENT THE LUNGS WITH SOMEONE WHO HAS SMOKED A PACK OF CIGARETTES. THAT'S 20 CIGARETTES EVERY DAY FOR 20 YEARS, LISTEN CLOSER.
LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE HEALTHY LUNGS. THEY'R BEINGE INATEDFL WH AIR,ITUST LI JKE UPEATHE E.ND A THEFILLY WITH RAI LIN EXPANESD LIKE EY SHOTHDUL A PUSHND OXYNGE INTO YO BLOODURREAMST.

NOODW REPRO THCKSMOKERE S, ONE THESE ENT THESEUNGS O LF SOMNE EDOK FOR 2YEARS0 . THESE LOANS ARE A BLACKISH BROWN COLOR BECAUSE OF THE TAR THAT COMES FROM EACH CIGARETTE. TARS ARE STICKY BLACK. SO SINCE THAT IS CREATED WITH SOME CHEMICALS BURN AND MELT TOGETHER CREATED BY BURNING TOBACCO IS SIMILAR TO THE CHILD THAT IS USED ON ROBES.
TANYA LUNGS MAY LEAD TO LUNG PROBLEMS THAT CAN MAKE IT HARD TO BREATHE. EVEN THOUGH VAPING DOESN'T FORCE HARD INTO YOUR LUNGS, IT DOES CAUSE YOUR LUNGS TO GET INFLAMED AND CLOGGED WITH BLOOD AND OTHER FLUIDS. CHEMICALS AND CIGARETTES ALSO CAUSE LUNG CANCER. IF YOU LOOK HERE, LOOK, CANCERS HAVE STARTED TO FORM. THEY STARTED THE CELLS THAT LINE THE SURFACE OF THE LUNGS LIKE THIS WHITE AREA. THE LOWER PORTION OF THIS LOAN DOESN'T INFLATE. THAT IS WHAT LUNG DISEASES LIKE COPD AND ECZEMA LOOK LIKE PEOPLE WITH THESE DISEASES FIND IT HARD TO BREATHE, AND THEY STRUGGLE WITH EVEN THE SMALLEST. EASIEST ACTIVITIES LIKE WALKING. WHICH SET OF LINES WOULD YOU LIKE WORKING FOR YOU? THE CHOICE SEEMS PRETTY CLEAR. ALL RIGHT.
OKAY? ALRIGHT SO IS IT WELL AND ACTUALLY, BEFORE I GET TO THIS SLIDE, I DID WANT TO POINT OUT THAT WE HAVE A FEW THINGS ON THE TABLE. SO WE ALSO HAVE PRINT MATERIALS GIVEAWAYS THAT WE THAT ARE FREE WHEN WE DO PRESENTATIONS LIKE THIS TO THE COMMUNITY, BUT I KNOW THAT VIDEO IS KIND OF JARRING AND FOLKS ARE LIKE WHO YOU KNOW, BUT I DO WANT TO SAY THAT THAT'S KIND OF LIKE THE WORST CASE SCENARIO FOR SMOKING. UM AND THEY'RE ON THIS PARTICULAR CAR THAT'S OVER THERE . IT HAS THE BENEFITS OF QUITTING SMOKING, AND SO ALL IS NOT LOST. UM AFTER A PERSON STOPS SMOKING A LOT OF THINGS, THEIR BODY CAN START TO REPAIR THEMSELVES, AND SO F 25 YEARS AFTER FIVE YEARS RISK OF MOUTH OF SOUTH OF GEO CANCERS, THEY GO BACK TO THAT OF A NONSMOKER. AND THEN AT 10 YEARS, A PERSON IS LESS LIKELY 50% LESS LIKELY TO DIE FROM THINGS LIKE LUNG CANCER
[00:20:01]
, AND THEN AFTER 15 YEARS, THEIR HEART DISEASE RISK GOES TO THAT OF A NONSMOKER. SO AGAIN ALL IS NOT LOST. BUT THAT'S WHY WE LIKE TO COME OUT AND TALK TO YOUTH, BECAUSE IT'S REALLY, REALLY HARD TO STOP SMOKING. IF YOU TALK TO PEOPLE THAT, YOU KNOW, UM, NICOTINE IS ONE OF THE MORE ADDICTIVE THINGS THAT A PERSON CAN ACTUALLY UTILIZE AND BECOME ADDICTED TO. AND SO THAT'S WHY WE SAY THE BEST. WAY TO NOT GET ADDICTED IS TO NEVER START USING TOBACCO. AND SO I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT IS IT WORTH IT? UM IT IS ILLEGAL FOR PEOPLE IN THE STATE OF TEXAS OR ACTUALLY, IT WAS A NATIONAL THING UNDER THE AGE OF 21 TO USE OR POSSESS TOBACCO PRODUCTS. SO EVEN IF YOU HAVE IT IN YOUR POSSESSION FOR YOUR HOLDING THEM FOR A FRIEND OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, UM, YOU CAN GET IN TROUBLE. AND THEN I KNOW WE ALSO KNOW ABOUT THE, UM THE BILL THAT HAS PASSED AND HAS MADE IT ILLEGAL FOR FOLKS TO HAVE A THING DEVICES ON DIFFERENT CAMPUSES, SO THERE'S ALSO OTHER CONSEQUENCES WITH THAT. SO HOW DO YOU SAY NO. SO IF SOMEONE OFFERED YOU TOBACCO HOW WOULD YOU SAY NO. AND NORMALLY I WOULD KIND OF GO THROUGH AND, UM, YOU KNOW, HAVE THE YOU ALL KIND OF TALKED TO US ABOUT WHAT YOU WOULD SAY OR DO AND SO I'M JUST GONNA GO THROUGH THIS REALLY QUICKLY. SO OF COURSE, IF SOMEONE IS OFFERING SOMETHING TO YOU, UM YOU WANT TO AVOID THE OFFICER? IF YOU, YOU KNOW, SEE A GROUP OF STUDENTS UTILIZING VAPING SMOKING, AND, UM, YOU DON'T WANT TO BE OFFERED . JUST DON'T EVEN GO IN THAT AREA. JUST TRY TO BYPASS THAT AREA ESCAPED THE OFFICE OF SOMEONE OFFER. RESENT YOU COULD ALWAYS JUST WALK AWAY. GIVE AN EXCUSE LIKE OH, NO, I GOTTA GO OR IGNORE THE PERSON, WHICH IS WHAT COLD SHOULDER MEANS. AND THEN JUST SIMPLE REFUSING THE OFFER, SO THAT'S A SIMPLE REJECTION. UM, SELF STATEMENT. I DON'T SMOKE CONSEQUENCES. YOU KNOW, UM I'M AN ATHLETE, AND THAT COULD AFFECT MY LUNGS. AND JUST EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO KEEP REPEATING IT. AND SO AGAIN, IF YOU YOU ARE NO. YOU KNOW ANYONE THAT ACTUALLY, BABES? UM WE HAVE A PROGRAM THAT IS WITH THE TRUTH INITIATIVE. AND IT'S UM, CALL.UM YOU GOT THIS AND THIS IS QUITTING. AND SO THIS IS THE INFORMATION THAT YOU CAN SCREENSHOT YOU CAN SEND IT TO A FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER THAT YOU KNOW THAT BABES AND I THINK IT GOES UP TO THE AGE OF 21. AND THEN ALSO PARENTS AND ADULTS. THEY HAVE A PROGRAM AS WELL, THAT IF YOU KNOW OF A YOUTH, UM OR YOUR YOUTH IS ACTUALLY VAPING THEY HAVE A PROGRAM IN THIS CARD IS ALSO ON THE TABLE AS WELL. AND THAT HELPS THEY ALL GIVE YOU , UM CONSULTATION, UM, COUNSELING ON HOW TO QUIT BABYING. ALRIGHT SO THAT WAS MY PRESENTATION VERY QUICKLY, AND I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT STUDENTS. I DID HAVE THESE LITTLE BRACELETS ON THE TABLE.
UM OR ANYONE CAN TAKE. WE HAVE THESE STRAWBERRY BAGS. THEY DON'T LOOK LIKE THIS. THEY LOOK LIKE THIS, BUT YOU CAN JUST STUFF THEM INTO EACH OTHER AND THEN TURN INTO LAW. STRAWBERRIES SO YOU ALWAYS HAVE A BAG ON THE GO SO THAT ANYONE I THINK, DID YOU ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? NO. ALL RIGHT. WELL, I WANT TO THANK YOU. YES. SO THEY CAN GET INTO IF YOU GO TO, UM AND I'M SCARED TO TOUCH ANYTHING. IF YOU GO TO ACTUALLY, LET'S SEE. ALRIGHT IT'S UM M. D. ANDERSON.
IT'LL COME UP. M D ANDERSON .ORG FORWARD SLASH COMMUNITY AND, UM SO THE PARENTS OR ADULTS, AND WE ACTUALLY, LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE A AN ADULT PRESENTATION AS WELL, THE GOALS OF ITS OVER SOME OF THE SAME INFORMATION. SO YOU GO TO OUR WEBSITE. YOU CAN DO IT THAT WAY. AND SO STUDENTS, IF YOU WOULD LIKE THIS AT YOUR CAMPUS, YOU WOULD JUST TALK TO A TEACHER, OR, UM, UM SOME SORT OF ADULT ADULT THAT COULD ACTUALLY REQUESTED FROM US. BUT IT IS AGAIN I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THIS. I'M NOT A TICKET. Y'ALL SORRY. BUT IT'S M D ANDERSON .ORG FOR SLASH COMMUNITY. IS HOW YOU AND SO WE GO ANYWHERE WE GO TO CHURCHES WE GO TO, UH, YOU KNOW, PARENT GROUPS, ALL SORTS OF THINGS WE ARE OUT IN THE COMMUNITY WEEKENDS, EVENINGS, THINGS LIKE THAT. SO THIS IS THE WEBSITE AND THEN IT GIVES YOU A LIST OF ALL OF OUR PROGRAMS FOR ADULTS ON THE LEFT, AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE A PUPPET SHOW FOR KIDS K THROUGH FOURTH GRADE. AND THEN THE TEAM PRESENTATION THAT I DID TODAY IS FOR FIFTH THROUGH 12TH GRADE. AND SO YOU JUST GO ON THIS PAGE, AND THEN YOU CLICK, UM, ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, WHICH IS A COMPLETE THE FORM AND YOU JUST LET US KNOW WHAT PRESENTATION WHAT PRINT MATERIALS THAT GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF ALL THE PRINT MATERIALS THAT WE HAVE AND THINGS LIKE THAT. I SEE. ALL RIGHT. WELL, THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME.

OUR WEBSITE WILL BE ABLE TO PUT A STOP TO WHATEVER IS GOING ON. HELP KEEP YOU SAFE, AND YOU CAN WALK AWAY WITH A POCKET FOR OH, OKAY, ASH. SO I HAVE A VERY BRIEFLY OUR HISTORY AND I'M GONNA GO TOO DEEP INTO IT. BUT THE FIRST CRIME STOPPERS WAS ACTUALLY FOUNDED IN NEW MEXICO IN 1976, RIGHT. IT WAS SO SUCCESSFUL THAT A FEW BUSINESSMEN HERE IN HOUSTON DECIDED TO BRING IT TO OUR CITY WHERE IT WAS JUST THE TIP LINE.
UM IN 1997. WE WERE ABLE TO LAUNCH OUR SAFE SCHOOL PROGRAM, WHICH BROUGHT THE TIP LINE INTO SCHOOLS. PART OF THAT IT WAS JUST SOMETHING FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND ADULTS TO USE. BUT WE REALIZED KIDS, Y'ALL STUDENTS , Y'ALL KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON BEFORE BEFORE ANYBODY ELSE BEFORE THE TEACHERS BEFORE THE PARENTS, SO WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ALL HAVE THE TOOLS TO KEEP YOURSELF SAFE. SO WE BROUGHT THE TIP LINE INTO SCHOOLS IN 1997. IN 2013 HOUR PROGRAM BRUTAL INCLUDE PREVENTION PROGRAMMING, SO NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT HOW TO USE
[00:30:04]
THE TIP LINE AFTER SOMETHING HAS OCCURRED, BUT GIVING PEOPLE THE INFORMATION AND THE TOOLS AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE RESOURCES TO KEEP THEMSELVES SAFE BEFOREHAND. SO TALKING ABOUT WHAT DID ONLINE PREDATOR LOOKS LIKE TO AVOID THOSE SITUATIONS, THE FIRST PLACE TALKING ABOUT HOW TO BE SITUATIONALLY AWARE, SO THEY WERE NOT CAUGHT OFF GUARD. OR SOMEBODY SPEAKING OF BEHIND THIS RIGHT? ALL OF THAT IS INCLUDED IN OUR PREVENTION PROGRAMMING. IN 2017, BOTH THE FIRST EVER AND STILL THE ONLY CRIME STOPPERS HEADQUARTERS IN THE WORLD. THE DAVE OR BUILDING THE BUILDING THAT I AM SITTING IN RIGHT NOW. TODAY PROBABLY AT THE POINT WHERE YOU'RE WATCHING THIS VIDEO. IT'S BEEN ALL MY TIME, BUT WE ARE ON THE ONLY FRONT STOPPERS ORGANIZATION THAT HAS A HEADQUARTERS NAMED AFTER THE GREAT DAY WARD, WHO JUST CALLED PUBLICIZE CRIMESTOPPERS AND KEEP HOUSTON SAFE. AND JUST LAST YEAR WE CELEBRATED 25 YEARS AND KEEPING HOUSTON SCHOOLS SAFE WITH OUR SCHOOL TIP LINE WITH OUR PROVINCIAL PROGRAMS. SO GUYS QUESTION FOR YOU AND I PROMISE YOU IT'S NOT A QUICK QUESTION OR EXCUSE ME. TRICK QUESTION. IT IS A QUICK QUESTION. IT'S NOT A TRICK QUESTION. WHO CAN MAKE THE SCHOOL SAY. RIGHT? OF COURSE, WE MIGHT HAVE SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS. WE HAVE PRINCIPLES. WE HAVE COUNSELORS VIA TEACHERS. BUT GUYS LIKE I SAID, Y'ALL KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON FAR BEFORE ANY OF THEM. ANY OF THOSE ADULTS DO RIGHT? SO IT IS ON YOU TO HELP KEEP YOUR SCHOOL SAFE. MATTER OF FACT, YOU HAVE NOT ONLY THE RESPONSIBILITY BUT THE POWER TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, RIGHT? SO TELLING YOU ALL WHY YOU SHOULD REPORT I'VE SAID PROBABLY THREE TURNS NOW THAT Y'ALL KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON LONG BEFORE THE ADULT SUIT, RIGHT? Y'ALL KNOW WHO'S GETTING READY TO FIGHT IN THE LOCKER ROOM. Y'ALL KNOW WHO'S SENDING MESSAGES THAT PROBABLY SHOULDN'T SING. Y'ALL KNOW WHO WAS ARGUING ON INSTAGRAM OR SNAPCHAT, AND HE'S BEEN READY TO FIGHT THAN THEY SAY. RIGHT? SO IF WE CAN ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO USE THE CRIME STOPPERS TIP LINE.TO REPORT GUYS AND I WANT TO MAKE A DISTINCTION BETWEEN SNITCHING AND REPORTING, BECAUSE THAT'S TO BE VERY HONEST WITH YOU GUYS. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HEAR A LOT. WHY WOULD I USE A CRIME STOPPERS TIP LINE? I DON'T WANT TO BE A SNITCH. BECAUSE FOR ME, THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SNITCHING AND REPORTING BECAUSE I HEAR YOU, RIGHT. I THINK THERE IS A SUCH THING AS SNITCHING.
RIGHT YOU ARE WHEN YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO GET SOMEBODY IN TROUBLE. THIS PERSON PROBABLY HASN'T NECESSARILY EVEN DONE ANYTHING WRONG. AND IF THEY DID, IT'S REALLY MINOR SOMETHING THAT YOU COULD SOLVE. LOVE YOURSELF. BUT SNITCHING IS WHEN IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU COULD SOLVE YOURSELF. BUT YOU'RE INTENTIONALLY BRINGING IN SOMEBODY ELSE JUST TO GET THAT OTHER PERSON IN TROUBLE RIGHT? IT SAYS. IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL AT ALL. BUT MAYBE YOU DON'T LIKE THAT PERSON. YOU WANT TO SEE THEM GET IN TROUBLE. AND SO YOU'RE JUST GOING TO CAUSE A BIG SCENE FOR NO REASON, RIGHT? THAT'S SNITCHING, AND THAT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT WHAT WE WANT, RIGHT? WE DON'T WANT THOSE LOW PRIORITY RECALLS TYING OF OUR OFFICERS RIGHT AND DISTRACTING US FROM BEING ABLE TO DEAL WITH REAL AND SERIOUS THINGS GOT BETTER GOING HOME. WHEN YOU REPORT THOUGH YOU WERE TRYING TO KEEP SOMEBODY SAFE. YOU WERE TRYING TO, UM DID JUSTICE FOR SOMETHING THAT IS GOING WRONG, RIGHT? SO MAYBE SOMEBODY BROKE INTO YOUR LOCKER AND SO YOUR CALCULATOR AND YOU KNOW WHO DID IT OR YOU SAW SOMEBODY ELSE. STILL SOMEBODY'S BIKE, RIGHT? YOU CAN REPORT THAT BECAUSE SOMETHING BAD ACTUALLY HAPPENED AND YOU WANT TO SOLVE THAT PROBLEM. YOU WANT TO HELP SOMEBODY OUT WHETHER IT'S HELPED THEM GET THEIR BIKES THAT KEEP THEM SAFE FROM BEING JUMPED RIGHT? WHATEVER IT IS, YOU ARE REPORTING BECAUSE YOU WANT TO KEEP SOMEBODY SAFE. YOUR SNITCHING BECAUSE YOU JUST WANT TO GET THAT PERSON IN TROUBLE.
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE FOR US, AND I ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO REPORTS DURING THE SECOND, NOT THE FIRST. BULLYING RIGHT. SO NOT ONLY IS BULLYING A CRIME IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL KNEW THAT LOOK UP DAVID'S LAW. DAVID'S LAW WILL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT THE PENALTY SURROUNDING BULLYING. BUT NOT ONLY IS THAT A CRIME WE SEE IT HAPPENING TO SO MANY STUDENTS, RIGHT? I HAD MULTIPLE BULLIES WHEN I WAS COMING UP IN SCHOOL. UM MY HEAD HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE SIZE AND WHEN I WAS A CHILD, SO I WAS ALWAYS SOME BIG HEADED LITTLE BOY. UM SO WHETHER IT WAS BECAUSE OF THAT, OR BECAUSE I WASN'T COOL. NO FOR ATHLETIC, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER. RIGHT ALL OF THEM. NOT ALL OF US. ONE OUT OF THREE OF US ARE IMPACTED BY BOOMING RIGHT WHETHER WE ARE THE VICTIMS. MAYBE WE'RE THE BULLIES OURSELVES. OR MAYBE WE'RE JUST SEEING SOMEBODY ELSE CAN BOOT.
BUT WE KNOW THE EFFECTS OF BEING BULLIED HAS ON SOMEBODY YOU CAN LEAD TO DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, MISSING DAYS OF SCHOOL, NOT FEELING SAFE AT SCHOOL. EUROPE IS NOT BOOMING, RIGHT? MAYBE IT'S SOME OTHER SORT OF CRISIS THAT'S GOING ON. THAT LEADS TO POOR MENTAL HEALTH, RIGHT. WE'VE SEEN THAT SUICIDE IS CONSISTENTLY ONE OF THE LEADING CAUSES OF DEATH AMONGST HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS BECAUSE I BRING THIS UP NOT TO NOT TO BE DARKER NOT TO BRING YOU DOWN, BUT TO AGAIN REMIND YOU THAT THE CRIME STOPPERS TIP LINE IS NOT JUST HERE TO GET YOU ALL IN TROUBLE.
[00:35:02]
IF YOU OR A FRIEND IT'S JUST GOING THROUGH A PERSONAL CRISIS OF MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHO ELSE TO TALK TO. YOU CAN ALSO CALL CRIME STOPPERS FOR THAT, RIGHT. WE'VE HAD SO MANY CASES WHERE A STUDENT CALLED US BECAUSE THEIR FRIEND WAS STRUGGLING TO FRAMED WAS MAYBE SAYING THINGS THAT IMPLIED THAT THEY WERE THINKING OF TAKING THEIR OWN LIFE OR THEY WERE ACTIVELY FARMING THEMSELVES RIGHT? AND SO THAT PERSON'S FRIEND CALLED US AND WE WERE ABLE TO GET THEM THE HELP THAT THEY NEED. WE'RE NOT JUST ABOUT GETTING KIDS IN TROUBLE LOCKED UP, KICKED OUT OF SCHOOL. RIGHT. WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ALL ARE SAFE PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY MENTALLY. AND WE KNOW THAT A LOT OF Y'ALL ARE EITHER BEING THREATENED ON SCHOOL CAMPUS BY SOME SORT OF WEAPON. UM OR Y'ALL MAY EVEN HAVE SOME FRIENDS OR CLASSMATES THAT ARE IN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS, RIGHT? THEY'RE BOYFRIEND AND GIRLFRIEND, MAYBE HITTING THEM SLAPPING THEM, MAYBE INTENTIONALLY HUMILIATING THEM IN FRONT OF ALL OF THEIR FRIENDS OR THEIR CLASSMATES, MAYBE SENDING INAPPROPRIATE OR EMBARRASSING PICTURES BACK AND FORTH, RIGHT. ALL OF THOSE THINGS CAN ALSO BE REPORTED ANY KIND OF RELATIONSHIP VIOLENCE.ANY THREATS MADE AGAINST YOU IN PERSON OR ONLINE, RIGHT? YOU CAN TAKE A SCREENSHOT OF ANY THREATS THAT ARE MADE, AND YOU CAN UPLOAD THOSE DIRECTLY ON THE APP AND THE WEBSITE. SO WHEN IT COMES TO THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT YOU SHOULD AND COULD REPORT I DON'T WANT TO LIMIT RIGHT IF YOU SEE ANYTHING THAT'S GOING ON THAT MAKES YOU FEEL UNSAFE. YOU CAN REPORT THAT THESE ARE JUST SOME EXAMPLES. EXCUSE ME SOME OF THE MORE COMMON THINGS THAT WE SEE GET RECORDED, AND I'LL EVEN HIGHLIGHT THREE. I'LL SAY BULLYING AND SELF HARM. EXPLICIT PICTURES AND TOBACCO AND E CIGARETTES ARE THE THREE THAT WE ARE SEEING A REALLY DRAMATIC INCREASE IN BRAGA COURSE.
CYBERBULLYING UM STUDENTS HARMING THEMSELVES. STUDENTS EXCHANGING EXPLICIT INAPPROPRIATE PICTURES. AND, OF COURSE, VAPING WE HAVE SEEN BABY TAKE OFF IN THE LAST FEW YEARS.
UM AND FIRST OF ALL, HAVING ANY SORT OF NICOTINE OR TOBACCO PRODUCTS UNDER THE AGE OF 21 IS ILLEGAL, BUT APART FROM THAT THERE ARE REALLY GENUINE HEALTH CONCERNS, RIGHT? EVEN IF YOU YOURSELF DON'T BAIT PUT YOUR CLASSMATES DO WHEN YOU'RE KIND OF INHALING THAT AS THEIR SPOKEN IN THE HALLWAY OR IN THE BATHROOM OR WHATEVER. AND YOU HAVE, REALLY, UM SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT YOUR HEALTH, RIGHT? YOU CAN REPORT THAT. THE CRIME STOPPERS IS WORTH. SO WHEN YOU DECIDE TO SUBMIT REPORT, GUYS, WE NEED AS MUCH DETAIL AS POSSIBLE. WE NEED TO KNOW FIRST OF ALL THE NAME OF THE SUBJECT, RIGHT? IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO SAY THAT. OH JOSH DID IT RIGHT WHO, JOSH. WE NEED TO KNOW IT WAS JOSHUA WEBB AT NORTHVIEW MIDDLE SCHOOL, RIGHT? WAS IT JUST JOSHUA? OR WAS IT JOSHUA AND MICHAEL AND WILLIAM? RIGHT WAS IT MORE THAN ONE SUSPECT? OR WAS IT JUST JOFFREY? WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE? WELL, JOHNSON WAS A BIG, BALD HEADED MAN OVER THE BOOTY AND EARRING RIGHT. GIVE US AS MUCH DESCRIPTION AS YOU CAN. UM WHAT ARE THEY WEARING? WHOSE CLASS OR THE END? WHAT PART OF THE BUILDING ARE THEY IN THE NATATORIUM? ARE THEY IN THE LOCKER ROOM IN THE CAFETERIA? ARE THEY IN THE LIBRARY? WHEN DOES IT HAPPEN? RIGHT? IS IT GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT WEEK? IS IT GOING TO HAPPEN BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS TOMORROW? IS IT GOING TO HAPPEN AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR? RIGHT. PLEASE GIVE US AS MUCH DETAIL AS POSSIBLE. SO THAT OUR INVESTIGATORS CAN HAVE AS MUCH DETAIL AS MUCH INFORMATION AND ACT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
WE NEED TO KNOW. WHERE DID IT HAPPEN? IS IT A PARTICULAR SCHOOL? UM AND AGAIN BEING SPECIFIC ABOUT THE SCHOOL? IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO JUST SAY OH, WHAT'S HAPPENING AT SMITH? RIGHT WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING AT JOHN Q. SMITH ELEMENTARY IN SPRING BRANCH, RIGHT BEING ASKED SPECIFIC WITH THE SCHOOL NAME THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IF IT'S IF IT'S MISS HOBSON, SPEAK, PERIOD ENGLISH CLASS, RIGHT? LET US KNOW EXACTLY WHEN AND WHERE IT CAME. AS I MENTIONED A LITTLE BIT EARLIER, THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT WAYS TO REPORT IT TO HIM AT CRIME SOLVERS, ABUSIVE NUMBER ONE, THE QUICKEST AND EASIEST, PROBABLY JUST PICKING UP THE PHONE AND CALLING 713 TO 2 TO T I P S, UH, THAT'S 222847. WE HAVE A MOBILE APP AS WELL FOR PHONES AND TABLETS CALLED CRIMESTOPPERS IN HOUSTON AND THEN OUR WEBSITE CALLED CRIME. DASH STOPPERS DOT ORG. THE GREAT THING ABOUT ABOUT BOTH THE END WEBSITE, AS I MENTIONED IS THAT YOU CAN INCLUDE PICTURES AND VIDEOS WITH YOUR TIP. SO IF YOU HAVE SCREENSHOTS OF ANY THREATS THAT SOMEBODY IS SENDING YOU ON SNAPCHAT, OR YOU HAVE A VIDEO, SOMEBODY SETTING OFF A SMOKE BOMB IN THE HALLWAY, RIGHT? YOU CAN INCLUDE THAT IN YOUR TIP JUST TO GIVE OUR INVESTIGATORS AND MORE INFORMATION GO OFF OF A AH, ACTUALLY THIS VIDEO BECAUSE OUR SOUND IS WORKING, BUT THIS IS JUST A QUICK VIDEO ON HOW TO USE THE APP, BUT IT IS PRETTY SELF EXPLANATORY. ONCE YOU LOG ON, IT IS VERY SIMPLE AND EASY
[00:40:01]
AND USE. THE APP WILL GIVE YOU A CODE TO MAKE SURE THAT NOBODY, UM, IS ABLE TO GO INTO YOUR PHONE AND SEE ALL THE DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES SUBMITTING IT IS PASSWORD PROTECTED. UM JUST TO AGAIN, MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE KEEPING YOU ALWAYS SAFE AS POSSIBLE COURSE. AS I SAID, OUR WEBSITE FRONT DASH STOPPERS DOT ORG, THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF THE SCREEN. THERE'S A BUTTON THAT SAYS REPORTED TIP, AND THAT IS WHERE YOU CAN GO TO LET US KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW IT WORKS. WE ALWAYS GET ASKED. WELL, IF IT'S ANONYMOUS, HOW DO WE GET OUR MONEY? WELL, LET'S START WITH THAT ANONYMOUS PART AGAIN. WE WILL NEVER, EVER, EVER EVER ASK FOR YOUR NAME, PHONE NUMBER, PHYSICAL ADDRESS, EMAIL ADDRESS OR ANY OTHER KIND OF IDENTIFYING INFORMATION. NOT ONLY IS THAT JUST OUR ORGANIZATIONAL POLICY AND THE WAY THAT WE WORK, BUT THAT'S ACTUALLY TEXAS STATE LAW. WE WOULD ALL ALL OF US HERE AT CRIMESTOPPERS WILL GET IN TROUBLE. UM IF WE COLLECTED ANY KIND OF IDENTIFYING INFORMATION OR SISTERS AND EVEN IF A TIPSTER DOES ACCIDENTALLY SLIP UP AND TELL US WHO THEY ARE, WHAT'S FOR THEIR AT THAT INFORMATION GETS DELETED FROM THE TIP BEFORE IT GETS PASSED ON TO THE INVESTIGATORS. SO AGAIN, WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN CAN TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KEEP YOUR IDENTITY, UM, ANONYMOUS. TO MAKE SURE THAT NOBODY KNOWS WE DON'T HAVE CARDI. YOU DON'T WORK OR PHONE CALLS HERE. CRIMESTOPPERS FUSION AGAIN. NOBODY'S GONNA KNOW THAT YOU CALLED US UNLESS YOU TELL THEM YOURSELF. SO YOU DECIDED? SUBMIT YOUR TIP OF MY CALLING US USING THE APP FOR USING THE WEBSITE.

YOU GO TO ANY OF THAT. YOUR STUDENT I D. WE DON'T KNOW ANY OF THAT. ALL WE HAVE IS THAT CODE NUMBER THAT CODE NUMBERS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TIPSTER. IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH A PARTICULAR CASE. THAT'S THE FIRST THING THAT WE'RE GETTING THE SECOND THING THAT WE GIVE YOU IS A SPECIFIC DATE TO CALL US BACK. AGAIN WE CAN'T CALL YOU . WE DON'T HAVE YOUR PHONE NUMBER. WE DON'T HAVE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. YOU HAVE TO CALL US BACK ON THIS DATE THAT WE GIVE YOU WITH THAT CODE NUMBER AND WE WILL LET YOU KNOW IF YOUR CHICK DID HELP US SOLVE A CRIME. LOCATE A FUGITIVE HELP SOLVE SOME SORT OF ON CAMPUS DISCIPLINARY INCIDENT.

IT SEEMS CASH IN AN ENVELOPE FOR YOU GUYS BECAUSE YOU DID THE RIGHT THING AND REPORTED THE CRIME STOPPERS AND HELP KEEP SOMEBODY SAFE. SO JUST IN THE YOUR 40 OR SO YEARS THAT WE HAVE BEEN IN EXISTENCE, WE'VE SOLVED ALMOST 2000 CAMPUS CASES RIGHT? THAT'S EVERYTHING FROM STUDENTS HAVING WEAPONS ON CAMPUS TO ASSAULTS AND OTHER STOLEN PROPERTY. WHICH HAS LED TO OVER 1800 STUDENT TIPS, OR IT'S JUST LIKE Y'ALL THAT HAS BEEN PAID AGAIN. THERE'S NOT AN AGE LIMIT ON WHO CAN GET PAID GUYS. UH IF WE GET A TIP AGAIN FROM A FIRST GRADER ABOUT SOMETHING THAT'S GOING ON THAT FIRST PLAYERS TECHNICALLY ELIGIBLE TO GET PAID UP TO $5000 OVER FIRST TRADE IS GONNA DO IT $5000, BUT THEY EARNED IT RIGHT. SO THERE'S STUDENTS JUST LIKE Y'ALL THAT HAVE GOTTEN PAID BECAUSE THEY DECIDED TO REPORT THE CRIME STOPPERS. UH ALMOST $300,000 IN CASH REWARDS PAID OUT. MHM UM AGAIN. WE DON'T KNOW THAT WHO? WE DON'T KNOW THEIR NAMES, RIGHT? BUT WE HAVE RECOVERED STOLEN PROPERTY BIKES, GAMING COUNCILS, CALCULATORS, COMPUTERS, PHONES. WE HAVE SEIZED THE DRUGS THAT WERE BROUGHT ONTO SCHOOL CAMPUSES, WHETHER IT'S PILLS, MARIJUANA, UH THEY OTHER KIND OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS. UM BUT MAYBE MOST IMPORTANTLY, GUYS, WE'VE REMOVED ALMOST 300 WEAPONS FROM CANVASES BEFORE THEY BEING ABLE TO BE USED RIGHT INCLUDES EVERYTHING FROM FILMS AND KNIVES TO NINJA STARS AND NUNCHUCKS. PEOPLE BRING ALL SORTS OF STUFF TO SCHOOL, RIGHT, BUT YOU CANNOT HAVE WEAPONS ON SCHOOL CAMPUSES. AND IF YOU EVER DO, HEAR OR SEE WITH YOUR OWN EYES THAT SOMEBODY HAS A WEAPON AGAIN, YOU CAN CALL CRIME STOPPERS MOVIE THAT WILL BE ABLE TO HANDLE THAT IMMEDIATELY. THERE ARE SOME CASES THAT MAY TAKE US A DAY. BUT IF WE HEAR THAT SOMEBODY HAS A WEAPON ON A SCHOOL CAMPUS THAT IS A TIP THAT IS HANDLED IMMEDIATELY. RIGHT SO IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THERE IS A SHORT TIME FRAME. IF YOU CAN REPORT THAT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, AND YOU LET US KNOW IT'S A LIFE OR DEATH EMERGENCY, WE WILL BE ABLE TO RESPOND TO THAT IMMEDIATE. FRAME SO 11 SUCCESS STORY. ONE FINAL SUCCESS STORY THAT I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH. THEN I WILL GET OUT OF[00:45:02]
