And we just received funding for equipment, and it's approximately $4,160.50. I can give you an explanation of what we're going to purchase, if you'd like. Okay. Two radar units, one's going to be a laser, the other will be a handheld unit. A PBT, which is a portable breath test. It's just another sobriety test that an officer would give in the field. Four tint meters for tint on glass on motor vehicles, windshields, rear windows, side windows, etc. And then two fatal vision goggles, basically they simulate a person under the influence of alcohol. We'll use those at community meetings or in the schools. And that comes out to approximately $4,160.50.
