00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,640
>> Our special agent in charge

2
00:00:01,640 --> 00:00:04,390
at the time was the last person
in the building,

3
00:00:04,390 --> 00:00:08,240
and he was rescued
by firemen.

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,530
That day was a long day
responding to the scene,

5
00:00:11,530 --> 00:00:13,690
helping out any way you can
with the New York City

6
00:00:14,230 --> 00:00:15,790
fire department
and police department.

7
00:00:16,690 --> 00:00:18,260
The perception of law enforcement

8
00:00:18,260 --> 00:00:19,740
on that day,

9
00:00:19,740 --> 00:00:22,260
because the nation was, in essence,

10
00:00:22,260 --> 00:00:25,350
under attack for the first time
in generations,

11
00:00:25,350 --> 00:00:27,530
law enforcement was appreciated,

12
00:00:27,530 --> 00:00:28,870
respected,

13
00:00:28,870 --> 00:00:31,480
and the general
public were pleased

14
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,150
that law enforcement
was there to help out.

15
00:00:34,150 --> 00:00:35,630
It was the same
with federal employees.

16
00:00:35,630 --> 00:00:37,460
There was a great
appreciation for the work

17
00:00:37,460 --> 00:00:40,810
that federal employees do
to keep our country running,

18
00:00:40,810 --> 00:00:42,210
to keep our country safe.

19
00:00:42,210 --> 00:00:44,000
So it's almost been 15 years now,

20
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,620
and we've come a long way
in a very short period of time

21
00:00:46,620 --> 00:00:48,980
to get to a point where we, A)

22
00:00:48,980 --> 00:00:51,210
communicate better, and B)

23
00:00:51,210 --> 00:00:55,090
work much better
as federal law enforcement

24
00:00:55,090 --> 00:00:56,580
with our state
and local counterparts.
