Who's the boss tonight?
In here or where at?
Wherever.
This is 36-1.
Yes, I know.
You do, huh?
Yeah.
Oh, nice.
What's the shifts matter tonight?
On the PD?
I'm sorry, what did you say?
What's the shifts matter on the PD tonight?
I got Lieutenant Johnson right here.
I speak out?

Yes.
Mike?
Yeah.
I'm Bob Johnson.
How you doing?
All lousy.
They're moving EOC right now.
Okay.
Okay.
That's going to UND.
Yeah.
UND plant services.
That's the fallback position, I guess.
They're doing it right now.
We got water around the PD.
It came from like River Street.
Reeves Drive.
That area just kept pushing and pushing.
A lot of it.
I just talked to Jim Campbell less than a minute and a half ago.
A lot of it.
Some of it has come over land, yes, from the river.
And a lot of it's the storm sewers backing up.
Okay.
We did the siren thing and announced to people, yes, you can leave.
And they're humving them out.
We had four buses at United Lutheran Church parking lot.
And I just ran upstairs, sorry.
And they're taking them from their tour shelter.
From their what shelter they're taking them, I do not know.
And that's about all they know.
You know what I know.
I can't, until I find where I've been running here, so.
Yeah.
Are you guys planning on maintaining your position at the PD?
I'm not sure what you mean.
Are you going to stay there?
I think Dale will be safe here.
PSAP will be safe.
And I don't know about our basement.
Dale Sibendal is here, our building guy.
And I got to check with him and see what he wants.
Okay.
Our place is getting all pretty close to getting water in it.
Yeah.
We're a lot lower than you are.
Yep.
I'm wondering if we could bring our weapons over and store them in your weapons storage facility.
I'll take the H4 if I'm wrong.
I'll let you do that and you just tell them I said so.
And then if they want to choose you on me, okay?
Okay.
And then in the meantime, we've got about three guys on.
Yep.
If you need them for any type of assistance at all.
They've been standing around kind of, you know, wanting something to do, so.
Okay.
If you need them for something, they need help going to an area to help evacuate or whatever the case may be.
Don't hesitate.
Give me one.
Should we call your building or call them on the air?
Call them on the air.
All right.
Do you know what the three that are on shift?
Yeah.
I'll remember that.
3612 is the target.
I'll keep the 3612 number in mind.
If you need anything, give them a holler and I'll have them come over with the, with those items.
You get them over here and we'll store them for you.
Good.
I don't want to have them.
I understand completely.
It's on a date.
We got you covered.
Thank you, sir.
Yes, yes.
Any time.
Good luck.
Yep.
