00:00:03,851 --> 00:00:05,451
- Hey, Mel.
- Hello, Mayor.
2
00:00:05,453 --> 00:00:06,686
- How are you this morning?
- Good, how you doing?
3
00:00:06,688 --> 00:00:08,287
All right.
4
00:00:08,289 --> 00:00:10,389
Tonight, Karen Freeman-Wilson,
5
00:00:10,391 --> 00:00:12,191
the Mayor of Gary, Indiana...
6
00:00:12,193 --> 00:00:13,359
It is my honor
7
00:00:13,361 --> 00:00:14,593
to work with you.
8
00:00:14,595 --> 00:00:16,395
Oh, my gosh.
9
00:00:16,397 --> 00:00:18,264
Attempts to work
undercover in her own city.
10
00:00:18,266 --> 00:00:19,498
Good afternoon.
11
00:00:19,500 --> 00:00:20,966
So you gonna be me for the day, huh?
12
00:00:20,968 --> 00:00:22,468
- You ready?
- I'm ready.
13
00:00:22,470 --> 00:00:24,403
By adopting a zany alter ego
14
00:00:24,405 --> 00:00:25,938
and wild new look...
15
00:00:25,940 --> 00:00:28,441
Fire will be over by
the time I get these on.
16
00:00:28,443 --> 00:00:30,376
The Mayor will go unnoticed
17
00:00:30,378 --> 00:00:32,812
as she meets the people
who make her city work.
18
00:00:32,814 --> 00:00:35,581
You can smell the waste.
19
00:00:35,583 --> 00:00:36,449
This is...
20
00:00:36,451 --> 00:00:37,983
poop.
21
00:00:37,985 --> 00:00:39,452
Miss Sheila, he's
getting away, Miss Sheila!
22
00:00:39,454 --> 00:00:40,886
All right, all right, I'm gonna get him.
23
00:00:40,888 --> 00:00:42,254
You making us look like a punk.
24
00:00:42,256 --> 00:00:44,590
This stuff gonna make me lose my religion.
25
00:00:44,592 --> 00:00:46,092
While undercover,
26
00:00:46,094 --> 00:00:47,860
she'll find out just how hard it is
27
00:00:47,862 --> 00:00:49,128
to keep the city running.
28
00:00:49,130 --> 00:00:50,730
We just need some great leadership
29
00:00:50,732 --> 00:00:51,897
and better equipment.
30
00:00:51,899 --> 00:00:53,366
And what will happen
31
00:00:53,368 --> 00:00:55,768
when she meets an employee
who is disappointed
32
00:00:55,770 --> 00:00:57,236
in her leadership?
33
00:00:57,238 --> 00:00:59,472
Our boss and the Mayor are best friends,
34
00:00:59,474 --> 00:01:00,439
so who can you tell?
35
00:01:02,510 --> 00:01:04,377
Find out next...
36
00:01:04,379 --> 00:01:06,645
on Undercover Boss.
37
00:01:14,871 --> 00:01:16,638
Founded in 1906,
38
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,174
Gary, Indiana, was a leading
producer of American steel
39
00:01:20,176 --> 00:01:21,643
for most of the 20th century.
40
00:01:23,413 --> 00:01:26,481
Immortalized by the Broadway
musical, "The Music Man,"
41
00:01:26,483 --> 00:01:28,983
and birthplace of the Jackson 5,
42
00:01:28,985 --> 00:01:31,286
Gary was once known
as the magic city.
43
00:01:33,156 --> 00:01:35,356
Leading this proud
city into the future,
44
00:01:35,358 --> 00:01:37,258
is one woman.
45
00:01:37,260 --> 00:01:39,127
My name is Karen Freeman-Wilson
46
00:01:39,129 --> 00:01:42,797
and I'm the Mayor of the
city of Gary, Indiana.
47
00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:44,399
- Hey, Jamil.
- Hello, Mayor.
48
00:01:44,401 --> 00:01:46,334
- How are you this morning?
- Good, how you doing?
49
00:01:46,336 --> 00:01:48,369
All right, I'll get in here
and get some stuff done.
50
00:01:48,371 --> 00:01:51,039
I've served as Mayor for five years.
51
00:01:51,041 --> 00:01:54,742
And I'm the first African
American female Mayor
52
00:01:54,744 --> 00:01:56,611
in the state of Indiana.
53
00:01:57,814 --> 00:02:00,415
I was born and raised here
54
00:02:00,417 --> 00:02:02,317
in a working-class background.
55
00:02:02,319 --> 00:02:03,985
My dad worked in the mill.
56
00:02:03,987 --> 00:02:06,821
My mother worked for the NAACP.
57
00:02:06,823 --> 00:02:09,090
Their whole focus was,
58
00:02:09,092 --> 00:02:10,458
"Hey, you need to go to school,
59
00:02:10,460 --> 00:02:12,327
you need to get your education."
60
00:02:12,329 --> 00:02:14,929
And I became the valedictorian
61
00:02:14,931 --> 00:02:17,265
of my high school graduating class.
62
00:02:17,267 --> 00:02:18,499
I went to Harvard
63
00:02:18,501 --> 00:02:20,101
in Cambridge, Massachusetts,
64
00:02:20,103 --> 00:02:22,737
and continued on to
Harvard Law School there.
65
00:02:22,739 --> 00:02:24,372
During the summers,
66
00:02:24,374 --> 00:02:27,709
I would work in law firms
in the city of Chicago.
67
00:02:27,711 --> 00:02:31,412
And there was always the
sense, "Yeah, the money is good,
68
00:02:31,414 --> 00:02:33,748
but this isn't really what
you're supposed to do."
69
00:02:33,750 --> 00:02:35,383
You know, it was always,
70
00:02:35,385 --> 00:02:36,918
"You need to go back home."
71
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:40,722
After graduating, I worked as a prosecutor,
72
00:02:40,724 --> 00:02:44,058
as a public defender, as
a judge, attorney general,
73
00:02:44,060 --> 00:02:46,661
and in November of 2011,
74
00:02:46,663 --> 00:02:50,231
I ran for Mayor because I saw a need
75
00:02:50,233 --> 00:02:52,567
that existed in the city of Gary
76
00:02:52,569 --> 00:02:55,403
because of the decline
of the steel industry.
77
00:02:57,073 --> 00:03:00,541
The city of Gary was
founded by Elbert H. Gary,
78
00:03:00,543 --> 00:03:04,145
who was the Chairman of
the Board of U.S. Steel.
79
00:03:04,147 --> 00:03:07,014
When Gary was founded in 1906,
80
00:03:07,016 --> 00:03:09,984
it experienced exponential growth.
81
00:03:09,986 --> 00:03:14,756
Gary had 180,000 residents.
82
00:03:14,758 --> 00:03:19,093
Of course, with the decline
of the steel industry,
83
00:03:19,095 --> 00:03:20,628
people lost their jobs,
84
00:03:20,630 --> 00:03:22,663
Because people lost their homes,
85
00:03:22,665 --> 00:03:26,834
they just left the city looking
for better opportunities.
86
00:03:26,836 --> 00:03:28,369
And as a result of that,
87
00:03:28,371 --> 00:03:31,305
our population dropped to
88
00:03:31,307 --> 00:03:34,909
77,000 people today.
89
00:03:34,911 --> 00:03:38,713
Our loss of population
has been devastating.
90
00:03:43,286 --> 00:03:45,553
We've lost half of our tax base,
91
00:03:45,555 --> 00:03:48,723
we've seen a significant
increase in crime.
92
00:03:50,126 --> 00:03:52,627
And we have one of the highest
93
00:03:52,629 --> 00:03:54,962
unemployment rates in the country.
94
00:04:00,537 --> 00:04:03,771
Growing up, I saw Gary at its best.
95
00:04:03,773 --> 00:04:08,309
And to know that Gary can be better,
96
00:04:08,311 --> 00:04:12,280
is really what motivates me
as the Mayor of this town.
97
00:04:14,117 --> 00:04:15,750
This is Karen Freeman-Wilson.
98
00:04:15,752 --> 00:04:17,919
This is the beginning
of my second term.
99
00:04:17,921 --> 00:04:19,153
During the first term,
100
00:04:19,155 --> 00:04:21,389
we really focused on the citizens,
101
00:04:21,391 --> 00:04:23,491
on whether we were meeting their needs.
102
00:04:23,493 --> 00:04:26,794
And we had to put out a lot
of fires during that time.
103
00:04:26,796 --> 00:04:30,398
And now they have hope again.
104
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,468
They have a sense that we can be better,
105
00:04:33,470 --> 00:04:36,137
and that we can be the
city that they deserve.
106
00:04:42,579 --> 00:04:46,113
My husband and I live
in an area of the city
107
00:04:46,115 --> 00:04:49,717
that is, uh, traditionally
called the Horace Mann area.
108
00:04:49,719 --> 00:04:51,385
It is not a Mayor's mansion;
109
00:04:51,387 --> 00:04:53,187
it is the house that we purchased
110
00:04:53,189 --> 00:04:57,558
back in 1997 after we got married.
111
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,894
- What's up?
- What you got going?
112
00:04:59,896 --> 00:05:02,096
- Stir fry time again.
- Oh.
113
00:05:02,098 --> 00:05:04,232
My husband's name is Carmen Wilson.
114
00:05:04,234 --> 00:05:07,101
Carmen and I met
while we were serving
115
00:05:07,103 --> 00:05:08,870
in state government.
116
00:05:08,872 --> 00:05:11,272
- That's enough. Ah!
- It'll be all right, trust me.
117
00:05:11,274 --> 00:05:14,675
- Oh!
- Coconut oil is good for you.
118
00:05:14,677 --> 00:05:17,578
- Keep you regular.
- Whatever.
119
00:05:17,580 --> 00:05:19,046
And that it will do.
120
00:05:19,048 --> 00:05:22,517
Recently, we celebrated
25 years of marriage.
121
00:05:25,655 --> 00:05:28,589
I am probably one of the most
122
00:05:28,591 --> 00:05:31,492
visible Mayors in the history of this city.
123
00:05:31,494 --> 00:05:34,695
So I'm inviting a few
members of my staff,
124
00:05:34,697 --> 00:05:36,664
who know what I would and wouldn't wear,
125
00:05:36,666 --> 00:05:38,566
to give me advice,
126
00:05:38,568 --> 00:05:40,468
developing the best disguise.
127
00:05:40,470 --> 00:05:41,536
Hey.
128
00:05:41,538 --> 00:05:43,204
Ready to look at some disguises?
129
00:05:43,206 --> 00:05:45,773
Because I'm really concerned
about being detected.
130
00:05:45,775 --> 00:05:47,241
- Get the wigs.
- Okay.
131
00:05:47,243 --> 00:05:50,478
Yeah, take 'em out, take 'em out.
132
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,046
Okay, okay, it's a little snug.
133
00:05:52,048 --> 00:05:53,614
I don't want to get a headache.
134
00:05:53,616 --> 00:05:55,082
Oh, sister, you don't have headaches.
135
00:05:55,084 --> 00:05:56,350
- You give headaches.
- Okay.
136
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,487
- Yeah.
- Okay, let's see what we got.
137
00:05:59,489 --> 00:06:00,555
Bam.
138
00:06:00,557 --> 00:06:01,689
Whoo!
139
00:06:01,691 --> 00:06:03,157
Okay, let's try another one.
140
00:06:04,627 --> 00:06:06,694
- Now what's her name?
- Uh, Chaka Khan.
141
00:06:06,696 --> 00:06:07,895
Oh, Chaka Khan!
142
00:06:09,232 --> 00:06:11,132
- Okay, we got one more.
- One more.
143
00:06:11,134 --> 00:06:12,900
- Okay.
- I like that.
144
00:06:12,902 --> 00:06:15,303
- I actually like the dread look.
- You like that?
145
00:06:15,305 --> 00:06:17,738
- That ain't that bad.
- So we decided on this one?
146
00:06:17,740 --> 00:06:19,273
- Yeah.
- Yeah, let's do that one.
147
00:06:19,275 --> 00:06:20,341
- Okay.
- Yay.
148
00:06:20,343 --> 00:06:21,375
Whoo-hoo!
149
00:06:21,377 --> 00:06:22,843
I'm going undercover now
150
00:06:22,845 --> 00:06:25,513
because I have a goal that I want to have
151
00:06:25,515 --> 00:06:28,449
100,000 residents in the city of Gary.
152
00:06:28,451 --> 00:06:30,751
And so I want to see what's going on
153
00:06:30,753 --> 00:06:33,254
in the inner workings of the city
154
00:06:33,256 --> 00:06:36,624
to make sure that I am
creating the type of city
155
00:06:36,626 --> 00:06:39,360
that would cause
people to relocate here
156
00:06:39,362 --> 00:06:42,430
so that we can get to the
goal of 100,00 residents.
157
00:06:42,432 --> 00:06:44,498
Throw your hair back
like you just don't care.
158
00:06:44,500 --> 00:06:46,100
In order to pull this off,
159
00:06:46,102 --> 00:06:48,069
I'm disguising myself with big hair,
160
00:06:48,071 --> 00:06:51,205
no glasses, and I'm
also changing my voice.
161
00:06:51,207 --> 00:06:52,940
So you gonna walk like this and...
162
00:06:52,942 --> 00:06:54,208
Oh, how you doing?
163
00:06:54,210 --> 00:06:56,010
Uh, my name is Sheila.
164
00:06:58,181 --> 00:07:00,314
I'll be going undercover as Sheila.
165
00:07:00,316 --> 00:07:03,250
My employees will think they're
on a different reality show.
166
00:07:03,252 --> 00:07:06,721
They have no idea it's
really Undercover Boss.
167
00:07:06,723 --> 00:07:09,924
Oh, my gosh.
168
00:07:09,926 --> 00:07:11,158
That is cute.
169
00:07:20,036 --> 00:07:22,703
Today, I'm going to be working
as a certified operator
170
00:07:22,705 --> 00:07:25,673
during the night shift at
the Gary Sanitary District.
171
00:07:25,675 --> 00:07:28,542
Where, when you flush, things happen.
172
00:07:30,279 --> 00:07:33,114
Essentially, we treat
all of the waste water
173
00:07:33,116 --> 00:07:35,783
that comes from Gary
so that it can be
174
00:07:35,785 --> 00:07:37,518
discharged into a water body.
175
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,087
I'm here all the time for meetings,
176
00:07:40,089 --> 00:07:43,190
but I've never even
toured the larger plant.
177
00:07:43,192 --> 00:07:47,028
I'm hoping to see that we're
treating the waste water right.
178
00:07:47,030 --> 00:07:48,996
Because it's important
to the health and safety
179
00:07:48,998 --> 00:07:50,364
of our citizens.
180
00:07:50,366 --> 00:07:52,600
- I'm looking for Brandon.
- Yes, I am.
181
00:07:52,602 --> 00:07:55,002
- Well, how are you, sir?
- All right, and yourself?
182
00:07:55,004 --> 00:07:56,837
All right, my name is Sheila.
183
00:07:56,839 --> 00:07:58,606
I came to work with you.
184
00:07:58,608 --> 00:07:59,840
All right, so check this out,
185
00:07:59,842 --> 00:08:00,975
this is what we do here.
186
00:08:00,977 --> 00:08:02,476
We basically bring the water in,
187
00:08:02,478 --> 00:08:04,478
raw sewage that's coming
in out of the city,
188
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,281
we clean it up and put it out
into the aquatic life, so...
189
00:08:07,283 --> 00:08:09,450
- Raw sewage from where?
- Everywhere.
190
00:08:09,452 --> 00:08:12,620
You wash dishes at home,
you, uh, use the bathroom...
191
00:08:12,622 --> 00:08:14,755
- So my dishwater?
- Dishwater.
192
00:08:14,757 --> 00:08:16,724
- The other water?
- The other water.
193
00:08:16,726 --> 00:08:18,693
She has a wide, bright smile
194
00:08:18,695 --> 00:08:21,796
but she needs to come dressed for the job.
195
00:08:21,798 --> 00:08:23,364
Yeah, you definitely gonna need a shirt.
196
00:08:23,366 --> 00:08:25,232
She still has on jewelry.
197
00:08:25,234 --> 00:08:26,801
You don't need to be cute here.
198
00:08:26,803 --> 00:08:29,937
We at the first stage of
when the raw sewage come in.
199
00:08:29,939 --> 00:08:30,938
This is called the Headworks.
200
00:08:30,940 --> 00:08:31,839
Okay.
201
00:08:31,841 --> 00:08:33,741
You can smell the waste.
202
00:08:35,278 --> 00:08:37,044
- That's what that is.
- Oh, my goodness.
203
00:08:37,046 --> 00:08:39,246
- I see your facial expression.
- Yes, sir.
204
00:08:39,248 --> 00:08:40,681
It stinks in there.
205
00:08:40,683 --> 00:08:42,550
It's over the top for me.
206
00:08:42,552 --> 00:08:43,784
This is the grid box.
207
00:08:43,786 --> 00:08:45,419
- This thing got the hard stuff.
- Yeah.
208
00:08:45,421 --> 00:08:47,722
- The dirt matter, the gravel.
- Got it.
209
00:08:47,724 --> 00:08:50,024
Everything that's coming
out of the household,
210
00:08:50,026 --> 00:08:52,326
even from our own bodies.
211
00:08:52,328 --> 00:08:53,828
This is poop.
212
00:08:53,830 --> 00:08:55,296
This is, essentially, poop.
213
00:08:56,599 --> 00:08:57,932
So what I want you to do,
214
00:08:57,934 --> 00:08:59,533
is take this rake
215
00:08:59,535 --> 00:09:00,768
and level it down.
216
00:09:00,770 --> 00:09:02,303
All right, I can do that.
217
00:09:02,305 --> 00:09:04,271
'Cause it'll get so high to a point
218
00:09:04,273 --> 00:09:05,840
that it starts to spill over.
219
00:09:05,842 --> 00:09:06,574
Okay.
220
00:09:07,844 --> 00:09:09,844
Yeah, I got it now, baby.
221
00:09:09,846 --> 00:09:11,579
How long you been doing this job?
222
00:09:11,581 --> 00:09:13,748
Uh, about eight years now.
223
00:09:13,750 --> 00:09:15,149
Now, I don't want you to be alarmed,
224
00:09:15,151 --> 00:09:18,085
there be little mice and...
225
00:09:18,087 --> 00:09:19,920
snakes and turtles everywhere,
226
00:09:19,922 --> 00:09:22,757
so just be careful.
227
00:09:22,759 --> 00:09:25,593
If I see a snake, I'm out
the door, I'm telling you now.
228
00:09:26,896 --> 00:09:29,029
This stuff gonna make me lose my religion.
229
00:09:29,031 --> 00:09:31,132
All right, Miss Sheila, that's good enough.
230
00:09:31,134 --> 00:09:32,733
- Is that good enough?
- That's good enough.
231
00:09:32,735 --> 00:09:34,135
So now what we gonna do?
232
00:09:34,137 --> 00:09:35,936
Now we gonna move onto the next area.
233
00:09:35,938 --> 00:09:36,971
Okay.
234
00:09:38,841 --> 00:09:41,876
Right now, you gonna go over
there to the primary tanks.
235
00:09:41,878 --> 00:09:43,611
So as we left the Headwork,
236
00:09:43,613 --> 00:09:45,913
it all comes over here now.
237
00:09:45,915 --> 00:09:47,681
- You see this rake here?
- Yes, sir.
238
00:09:47,683 --> 00:09:48,749
See that rake right there?
239
00:09:48,751 --> 00:09:49,784
Yeah.
240
00:09:49,786 --> 00:09:51,352
That scoops all the sludge,
241
00:09:51,354 --> 00:09:53,888
pushes it in the middle, and we have pumps
242
00:09:53,890 --> 00:09:56,423
that pumps it to another stage.
243
00:09:56,425 --> 00:09:58,692
These little things over here
are called V-notch wheels.
244
00:09:58,694 --> 00:10:01,095
We need to make sure
these are clean every day,
245
00:10:01,097 --> 00:10:03,397
so you gonna take this brush right here,
246
00:10:03,399 --> 00:10:07,668
and go in the backside and
then go in the front side.
247
00:10:07,670 --> 00:10:10,571
'Cause you gonna do
everything from over there
248
00:10:10,573 --> 00:10:11,939
all the way to the end over here.
249
00:10:11,941 --> 00:10:13,207
Okay.
250
00:10:13,209 --> 00:10:15,176
- I'ma get this one.
- Mm-hmm.
251
00:10:15,178 --> 00:10:17,211
And then I'm gonna get 'em on the outside.
252
00:10:17,213 --> 00:10:18,679
Okay, now turn the brush a little bit.
253
00:10:18,681 --> 00:10:21,248
- Okay, I've turned the brush.
- Mm-hmm.
254
00:10:21,250 --> 00:10:23,150
- So you think you got it?
- Yep, I got it, Brandon.
255
00:10:23,152 --> 00:10:25,186
- I'm gonna leave you to it.
- All right, all right.
256
00:10:25,188 --> 00:10:27,288
All right.
257
00:10:27,290 --> 00:10:29,423
Now, I don't see no debris.
258
00:10:29,425 --> 00:10:33,394
I tell you what, I see
enough to stay out of that.
259
00:10:35,565 --> 00:10:39,033
I have a newfound respect
260
00:10:39,035 --> 00:10:41,669
for flushing the toilet.
261
00:10:41,671 --> 00:10:42,937
As far as cleaning the wheels,
262
00:10:42,939 --> 00:10:44,405
I'd give her definitely an F.
263
00:10:44,407 --> 00:10:46,106
- How you doing over here?
- I'm doing good.
264
00:10:46,108 --> 00:10:47,842
She was using the back of the brush,
265
00:10:47,844 --> 00:10:49,710
and there's no bristles on the back.
266
00:10:49,712 --> 00:10:51,946
I thought it was just common
sense, you what I'm saying?
267
00:10:51,948 --> 00:10:53,981
But that's just my opinion.
268
00:10:53,983 --> 00:10:55,950
Stick it on up with the
broom and then just...
269
00:10:55,952 --> 00:10:57,818
yeah, there you go.
270
00:10:57,820 --> 00:10:59,653
So tell about yourself, where you from?
271
00:10:59,655 --> 00:11:01,655
I'm from Nashville, Tennessee.
272
00:11:01,657 --> 00:11:04,158
So, now, you got any kids?
273
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:05,960
I have two... I have two boys.
274
00:11:05,962 --> 00:11:07,561
They both stay in Marysville.
275
00:11:07,563 --> 00:11:09,230
I didn't... I didn't want 'em to stay here.
276
00:11:09,232 --> 00:11:10,764
You know what I'm saying? But, uh...
277
00:11:10,766 --> 00:11:12,833
get caught up in the
environment like I did.
278
00:11:12,835 --> 00:11:15,169
You know how it go, being
a young black man in...
279
00:11:15,171 --> 00:11:16,804
in a poor environment.
280
00:11:16,806 --> 00:11:18,672
I done been to jail a couple times.
281
00:11:18,674 --> 00:11:20,140
Uh, you know...
282
00:11:20,142 --> 00:11:21,542
it teaches you things, you know.
283
00:11:21,544 --> 00:11:23,344
Yeah, yeah.
284
00:11:23,346 --> 00:11:25,446
You been here for eight years.
285
00:11:25,448 --> 00:11:26,714
Yeah.
286
00:11:26,716 --> 00:11:28,549
This sound like a pretty good job
287
00:11:28,551 --> 00:11:29,984
for you to stay that long.
288
00:11:29,986 --> 00:11:33,087
I mean, you know, it's, uh...
289
00:11:33,089 --> 00:11:34,521
it's keeping me busy.
290
00:11:34,523 --> 00:11:35,823
I'll put it that way.
291
00:11:35,825 --> 00:11:38,559
I mean, this place is so crazy that
292
00:11:38,561 --> 00:11:40,895
you don't get a chance to move up.
293
00:11:40,897 --> 00:11:42,396
They have favoritism here.
294
00:11:42,398 --> 00:11:44,298
You got people that's
been here for three months
295
00:11:44,300 --> 00:11:45,833
and they're already a supervisor.
296
00:11:45,835 --> 00:11:47,234
They don't fix nothing around here.
297
00:11:47,236 --> 00:11:48,569
What's broke out here?
298
00:11:48,571 --> 00:11:50,571
Half of the majority of the things you see,
299
00:11:50,573 --> 00:11:51,605
it's not working properly, it's...
300
00:11:51,607 --> 00:11:53,274
they put a Band-Aid on things.
301
00:11:53,276 --> 00:11:55,843
- Well, why don't they fix it?
- Who you gonna tell?
302
00:11:55,845 --> 00:11:58,779
The boss is controlling
everything around here.
303
00:11:58,781 --> 00:12:00,648
- She doesn't do anything.
- The boss?
304
00:12:00,650 --> 00:12:02,483
- The superintendent.
- The superintendent?
305
00:12:02,485 --> 00:12:04,051
- Yes.
- So...
306
00:12:04,053 --> 00:12:06,086
All they want to make sure
is the money keep coming in
307
00:12:06,088 --> 00:12:07,922
and generating... that's
all they care about.
308
00:12:07,924 --> 00:12:09,023
Long as they get they money,
309
00:12:09,025 --> 00:12:10,491
they don't care.
310
00:12:10,493 --> 00:12:12,426
- They don't care.
- Now, that's a problem.
311
00:12:12,428 --> 00:12:13,560
Yes it is, yes.
312
00:12:13,562 --> 00:12:15,162
But who can you run to?
313
00:12:15,164 --> 00:12:17,631
Our boss and the Mayor are best friends,
314
00:12:17,633 --> 00:12:18,966
so who can you tell?
315
00:12:18,968 --> 00:12:21,435
- Is that right?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah..
316
00:12:21,437 --> 00:12:22,903
Well, now.
317
00:12:32,772 --> 00:12:35,640
Our boss and the Mayor are best friends,
318
00:12:35,642 --> 00:12:36,808
so who can you tell?
319
00:12:36,810 --> 00:12:39,010
- Is that right?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
320
00:12:39,012 --> 00:12:41,312
Any y'all think you can
talk to the superintendent?
321
00:12:41,314 --> 00:12:42,613
We... we tried.
322
00:12:42,615 --> 00:12:44,282
- We tried.
- And she won't listen?
323
00:12:44,284 --> 00:12:46,350
Nothing... nothing is
getting done around here.
324
00:12:46,352 --> 00:12:48,419
I mean, it's almost to the point where
325
00:12:48,421 --> 00:12:50,588
you want to to give up...
I mean, it's like, who cares?
326
00:12:50,590 --> 00:12:52,023
You know what I'm saying?
327
00:12:52,025 --> 00:12:53,958
And they wonder why we
walk around here bitter.
328
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,827
And, you know, "I don't
want to be at work."
329
00:12:55,829 --> 00:12:58,462
- You know what I'm saying?
- I understand what you saying.
330
00:12:58,464 --> 00:13:01,766
Brandon really does not feel
like he's a part of the team.
331
00:13:01,768 --> 00:13:02,934
And that's disappointing.
332
00:13:02,936 --> 00:13:05,436
He has no recourse
333
00:13:05,438 --> 00:13:08,272
when he sees things that
are wrong as an employee.
334
00:13:08,274 --> 00:13:09,707
That's a problem.
335
00:13:09,709 --> 00:13:11,409
- I see it coming through.
- Looks good.
336
00:13:11,411 --> 00:13:12,910
Looks good.
337
00:13:12,912 --> 00:13:14,846
I do know the plant superintendent.
338
00:13:14,848 --> 00:13:17,515
And I need to dig into this
and see what's going on.
339
00:13:25,859 --> 00:13:28,359
Today, I'm working at Station 7
340
00:13:28,361 --> 00:13:30,294
with a Gary firefighter.
341
00:13:30,296 --> 00:13:33,965
I know some of our firehouses
aren't in the best condition.
342
00:13:33,967 --> 00:13:37,268
But firefighters are really
important to our city.
343
00:13:37,270 --> 00:13:40,338
We have a large number of
fires and emergency calls.
344
00:13:40,340 --> 00:13:42,840
And I want to make
sure our fire stations
345
00:13:42,842 --> 00:13:44,976
are supported in the
best way possible.
346
00:13:44,978 --> 00:13:47,011
- Good afternoon.
- I'm Nate Carter.
347
00:13:47,013 --> 00:13:49,213
- How can I... how you doing?
- All right, my name is Sheila.
348
00:13:49,215 --> 00:13:50,848
- How you doing, Miss Sheila?
- All right.
349
00:13:50,850 --> 00:13:52,717
So you gonna be me for the day, huh?
350
00:13:52,719 --> 00:13:55,753
- Well, I'm gonna try.
- I'm a firefighter EMT.
351
00:13:55,755 --> 00:13:58,689
So what that means is, I do both,
352
00:13:58,691 --> 00:14:00,258
EMS and fire rescues.
353
00:14:00,260 --> 00:14:01,826
So I'm gonna show you what we do.
354
00:14:01,828 --> 00:14:02,760
And then you'll try to do as I do, okay?
355
00:14:02,762 --> 00:14:04,495
Okay.
356
00:14:04,497 --> 00:14:05,796
Well, first off, I'm gonna
need you to look like one of us.
357
00:14:05,798 --> 00:14:07,865
- So I need you to put on this.
- Okay.
358
00:14:07,867 --> 00:14:10,034
I'm not trying to be harsh, but...
359
00:14:10,036 --> 00:14:12,370
it's... it's gonna be kind of
rough for her, I'll give her.
360
00:14:12,372 --> 00:14:14,538
It's... it'll be really,
really, really rough for her.
361
00:14:14,540 --> 00:14:16,474
So I'm gonna show you
how we put our gear on.
362
00:14:16,476 --> 00:14:17,808
And the reason we put this stuff on
363
00:14:17,810 --> 00:14:19,343
is to protect us from the heat.
364
00:14:19,345 --> 00:14:20,912
And, you know, every second count.
365
00:14:20,914 --> 00:14:22,880
That one extra second
could save somebody's life.
366
00:14:22,882 --> 00:14:25,182
We hear the tone, we come in,
367
00:14:25,184 --> 00:14:26,484
we put our hood on.
368
00:14:26,486 --> 00:14:28,119
Now a hood, like I said, it helps us
369
00:14:28,121 --> 00:14:29,887
protect your ears and
your neck from the heat.
370
00:14:29,889 --> 00:14:31,555
And these shoes are heat-resistant.
371
00:14:31,557 --> 00:14:33,391
You pull up your bunker pants,
372
00:14:33,393 --> 00:14:35,826
then slides our coat on,
373
00:14:35,828 --> 00:14:38,396
and then next, I put my helmet on.
374
00:14:38,398 --> 00:14:40,197
Then, I get my air pack.
375
00:14:40,199 --> 00:14:41,365
This is your lifeline.
376
00:14:41,367 --> 00:14:44,468
This here supplies you with fresh air.
377
00:14:44,470 --> 00:14:46,837
And now, the thing about this is,
378
00:14:46,839 --> 00:14:50,041
to be a fireman, time is
of the essence, all right?
379
00:14:50,043 --> 00:14:51,309
I'm gonna have you do it.
380
00:14:51,311 --> 00:14:53,177
But you got to do it in under two minutes.
381
00:14:53,179 --> 00:14:54,812
I got to do it in under two minutes?
382
00:14:54,814 --> 00:14:56,147
Yes, ma'am. All right?
383
00:14:56,149 --> 00:14:58,082
- Okay.
- We got a house fire.
384
00:14:58,084 --> 00:14:59,083
Go.
385
00:15:02,822 --> 00:15:03,854
Right, make sure you put the hood on,
386
00:15:03,856 --> 00:15:05,423
cover your ear and your neck.
387
00:15:05,425 --> 00:15:07,258
'Cause that's gonna
protect you from that heat.
388
00:15:12,332 --> 00:15:13,698
Well, now.
389
00:15:13,700 --> 00:15:16,467
We got a little problem with these pants.
390
00:15:16,469 --> 00:15:18,869
They might be a little too small.
391
00:15:18,871 --> 00:15:20,705
- Snug is good.
- Yeah.
392
00:15:20,707 --> 00:15:23,274
Fire be over by the time I get these on.
393
00:15:23,276 --> 00:15:24,909
When she was putting the stuff on,
394
00:15:24,911 --> 00:15:26,744
she was kind of
lollygagging, figuring out
395
00:15:26,746 --> 00:15:28,179
how exactly as it goes.
396
00:15:28,181 --> 00:15:29,880
She wasn't, like, trying to really get it,
397
00:15:29,882 --> 00:15:31,849
so I think the urgency, she was lacking.
398
00:15:31,851 --> 00:15:33,985
All right, well, right
now, you're at five minutes.
399
00:15:33,987 --> 00:15:35,553
- Oh, Lord.
- That's all right.
400
00:15:35,555 --> 00:15:36,387
We gonna get you there.
401
00:15:41,861 --> 00:15:43,728
There's your helmet,
now where your gloves at?
402
00:15:43,730 --> 00:15:44,795
They're right by your shoes.
403
00:15:49,402 --> 00:15:51,402
Sheila happened to be
the slowest I've ever seen
404
00:15:51,404 --> 00:15:52,203
get dressed, yes.
405
00:15:55,775 --> 00:15:57,675
All right, you want your time?
406
00:15:57,677 --> 00:15:59,276
Oh, no, I don't want to know my time.
407
00:15:59,278 --> 00:16:01,078
I'll tell ya anyway...
I'm gonna tell you anyway.
408
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,047
- Okay, tell me, then.
- 12 minutes and 42 seconds.
409
00:16:03,049 --> 00:16:04,749
Oh, Lord, the fire be over by then.
410
00:16:04,751 --> 00:16:06,884
Yeah. That ain't gonna cut it.
411
00:16:06,886 --> 00:16:09,153
It don't take long for
someone to suffocate on smoke.
412
00:16:09,155 --> 00:16:10,788
So that's why time is really important.
413
00:16:10,790 --> 00:16:13,657
And plus, just imagine, you
get all that stuff on, right?
414
00:16:13,659 --> 00:16:14,592
You at a fire...
415
00:16:14,594 --> 00:16:16,594
come with me.
416
00:16:16,596 --> 00:16:18,796
You found somebody.
You got to drag 'em out.
417
00:16:18,798 --> 00:16:20,598
They done passed out from the smoke.
418
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,067
Grab them under the arms like this,
419
00:16:23,069 --> 00:16:24,068
and drag them.
420
00:16:24,070 --> 00:16:26,370
- All right.
- Go ahead.
421
00:16:26,372 --> 00:16:27,972
He's really heavy... oh, Lord.
422
00:16:27,974 --> 00:16:29,073
There's that hat again.
423
00:16:29,075 --> 00:16:30,408
Crazy.
424
00:16:32,812 --> 00:16:34,445
Keep on coming, keep on coming.
425
00:16:34,447 --> 00:16:36,113
You still in the house. Keep on coming.
426
00:16:36,115 --> 00:16:37,681
Keep on coming.
427
00:16:37,683 --> 00:16:38,883
You got to get him to our EMTs.
428
00:16:38,885 --> 00:16:39,750
Keep on coming.
429
00:16:39,752 --> 00:16:41,118
Good.
430
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,987
- Whoo!
- You tired?
431
00:16:42,989 --> 00:16:44,622
- Yeah!
- Oh, no.
432
00:16:44,624 --> 00:16:46,824
You got to go back in
there and finish your job.
433
00:16:46,826 --> 00:16:48,459
The fire's still going.
434
00:16:48,461 --> 00:16:50,127
Yeah. Here, here's your helmet.
435
00:16:50,129 --> 00:16:51,829
Don't want to forget that.
436
00:16:51,831 --> 00:16:53,998
I'm feeling a little
inadequate right now.
437
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,066
Grab him by the neck?
438
00:16:55,068 --> 00:16:56,300
That's not right.
439
00:16:56,302 --> 00:16:57,835
Under the arm, under the arm.
440
00:16:57,837 --> 00:17:01,305
This is a good argument
for going on a diet.
441
00:17:01,307 --> 00:17:02,873
How you feeling?
442
00:17:02,875 --> 00:17:04,775
- Tired.
- A little tired?
443
00:17:04,777 --> 00:17:06,777
- Yes, sir.
- Well...
444
00:17:06,779 --> 00:17:09,113
I don't know if I'm
tough enough for your job.
445
00:17:10,450 --> 00:17:12,650
Matter of fact, I don't think I am.
446
00:17:12,652 --> 00:17:14,118
Whoo!
447
00:17:14,120 --> 00:17:15,786
Okay, well...
448
00:17:15,788 --> 00:17:17,288
we on a fire scene,
449
00:17:17,290 --> 00:17:18,189
and we need a ladder.
450
00:17:18,191 --> 00:17:19,290
All right.
451
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,226
This looks like a ladder to me.
452
00:17:22,228 --> 00:17:23,928
I don't want to break the ladder.
453
00:17:23,930 --> 00:17:25,596
Gonna go right here.
454
00:17:25,598 --> 00:17:27,498
- Right here.
- Okay, we gonna go here.
455
00:17:27,500 --> 00:17:30,067
And now I got to get it to tilt up.
456
00:17:32,171 --> 00:17:33,471
Here, now.
457
00:17:33,473 --> 00:17:34,605
Tilt and walk up.
458
00:17:36,843 --> 00:17:38,175
Well, now, I don't know, Mr. Nate.
459
00:17:38,177 --> 00:17:39,310
Here, let me show you, let me show you.
460
00:17:39,312 --> 00:17:40,411
I think you got to be...
461
00:17:40,413 --> 00:17:41,745
Okay.
462
00:17:41,747 --> 00:17:43,781
You a lot taller than me, Mr. Nate.
463
00:17:43,783 --> 00:17:45,716
Boom.
464
00:17:45,718 --> 00:17:47,184
There we go.
465
00:17:47,186 --> 00:17:50,554
Imagine doing that with
all that gear you had on.
466
00:17:50,556 --> 00:17:52,089
We take it very seriously.
467
00:17:52,091 --> 00:17:54,925
We feel like the public
deserves the best of the best
468
00:17:54,927 --> 00:17:57,261
and that's what we look for
and that's what we give 'em.
469
00:17:57,263 --> 00:17:59,864
- That's amazing.
- Yeah.
470
00:17:59,866 --> 00:18:01,432
Now, how tall are you, for real?
471
00:18:01,434 --> 00:18:02,600
For real, for real?
472
00:18:02,602 --> 00:18:04,468
With the hair? I'm 6'8".
473
00:18:04,470 --> 00:18:06,103
Did you ever play basketball?
474
00:18:06,105 --> 00:18:07,638
I went to college playing basketball,
475
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:08,839
that's how I went to college.
476
00:18:08,841 --> 00:18:10,241
- No way.
- Yeah.
477
00:18:10,243 --> 00:18:11,742
Now, how long you been doing this?
478
00:18:11,744 --> 00:18:13,511
About four years, now.
479
00:18:13,513 --> 00:18:16,814
Going to a fire and try
to save someone's house
480
00:18:16,816 --> 00:18:18,949
from completely losing everything,
481
00:18:18,951 --> 00:18:20,718
or even save someone's life,
482
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,887
it's a... it's an amazing thing.
483
00:18:22,889 --> 00:18:25,823
And sometimes, you know,
sometimes the morale around here
484
00:18:25,825 --> 00:18:29,193
might be a little low
because working in Gary,
485
00:18:29,195 --> 00:18:32,997
we expected to do the same
thing as everybody else,
486
00:18:32,999 --> 00:18:35,499
but with not the same kind of equipment.
487
00:18:35,501 --> 00:18:39,136
And, uh, we might get
three or four fires a month.
488
00:18:39,138 --> 00:18:41,906
Compared to another city, they might get
489
00:18:41,908 --> 00:18:43,340
three or four fires a year.
490
00:18:43,342 --> 00:18:44,875
Oh, my goodness.
491
00:18:44,877 --> 00:18:47,778
Unfortunately, Gary, we
don't have as much money
492
00:18:47,780 --> 00:18:49,480
as our neighboring cities,
493
00:18:49,482 --> 00:18:53,017
so we're not able to acquire
494
00:18:53,019 --> 00:18:54,752
newer equipment.
495
00:18:54,754 --> 00:18:56,754
Another thing is, we haven't had
496
00:18:56,756 --> 00:18:59,256
that much updates to our stations.
497
00:18:59,258 --> 00:19:01,859
What do you mean, like,
the bathroom and stuff?
498
00:19:01,861 --> 00:19:05,229
Like... yeah, like the bathroom or
499
00:19:05,231 --> 00:19:08,399
re-tiling or
re-painting.
500
00:19:08,401 --> 00:19:10,134
All that stuff costs money.
501
00:19:10,136 --> 00:19:11,569
And right now, you know,
502
00:19:11,571 --> 00:19:13,070
money, it just ain't there.
503
00:19:13,072 --> 00:19:14,772
We ain't got the money, we can't do it.
504
00:19:14,774 --> 00:19:17,608
When I hear Nate talk
about what they have
505
00:19:17,610 --> 00:19:21,212
in other cities, it makes
me want to work even harder
506
00:19:21,214 --> 00:19:24,148
to try and bring those things to Gary.
507
00:19:24,150 --> 00:19:26,116
I take pride in my job,
508
00:19:26,118 --> 00:19:29,019
I love being from Gary, and
having to work for Gary...
509
00:19:29,021 --> 00:19:31,422
- Yeah.
- It's amazing, it's great.
510
00:19:31,424 --> 00:19:35,893
I was totally impressed
with his enthusiasm,
511
00:19:35,895 --> 00:19:38,062
his commitment to the job.
512
00:19:38,064 --> 00:19:41,832
I feel very blessed as the Mayor of a city
513
00:19:41,834 --> 00:19:44,168
to have a firefighter like Nate.
514
00:19:44,170 --> 00:19:45,636
This is a great job.
515
00:19:45,638 --> 00:19:47,504
Like anything else, it
has its ups and downs,
516
00:19:47,506 --> 00:19:50,708
but there's way more
ups than there are downs.
517
00:19:56,782 --> 00:19:58,649
- Coming up...
- You letting him get away.
518
00:19:58,651 --> 00:20:00,517
- You making us look like a punk.
- It's a lot to do.
519
00:20:00,519 --> 00:20:02,386
Can the Mayor cut it as a cop?
520
00:20:02,388 --> 00:20:04,688
You walking up here like you
getting ready to go shopping.
521
00:20:04,690 --> 00:20:07,057
And later...
522
00:20:07,059 --> 00:20:09,293
Now turn it straight. What're you doing?
523
00:20:09,295 --> 00:20:11,629
She discovers a day at the beach
524
00:20:11,631 --> 00:20:12,963
is no vacation.
525
00:20:12,965 --> 00:20:14,698
And you do this on all the cans, Steve?
526
00:20:14,700 --> 00:20:15,599
Yes, ma'am.
527
00:20:29,728 --> 00:20:31,361
After working with Nate
528
00:20:31,363 --> 00:20:33,463
and hearing that our
firefighters are dealing with
529
00:20:33,465 --> 00:20:36,099
four times the volume of
calls as other cities,
530
00:20:36,101 --> 00:20:38,167
and not feeling supported,
531
00:20:38,169 --> 00:20:40,937
I went to work with a police
officer to see if they are
532
00:20:40,939 --> 00:20:42,672
dealing with the same issues.
533
00:20:44,075 --> 00:20:46,009
We have a large number
of violent crimes.
534
00:20:46,011 --> 00:20:49,879
In fact, last year, there
were over 50 homicides.
535
00:20:49,881 --> 00:20:52,482
I've actually spent a lot of time
536
00:20:52,484 --> 00:20:54,183
working with the police department.
537
00:20:54,185 --> 00:20:56,252
The things I know
about the department
538
00:20:56,254 --> 00:20:57,453
are generally things
539
00:20:57,455 --> 00:20:59,522
that they want the Mayor to know.
540
00:20:59,524 --> 00:21:03,226
So today, I'm hoping to find
out what's really going on.
541
00:21:04,229 --> 00:21:05,895
Excuse me, Officer.
542
00:21:05,897 --> 00:21:07,163
How are you?
543
00:21:07,165 --> 00:21:08,731
- I'm well.
- I'm Miss Sheila.
544
00:21:08,733 --> 00:21:10,300
- Miss Sheila?
- Yes, ma'am.
545
00:21:10,302 --> 00:21:11,801
I'm Shanesha, it's nice to meet you.
546
00:21:11,803 --> 00:21:12,936
- It's my pleasure.
- Okay.
547
00:21:12,938 --> 00:21:14,237
It's my pleasure.
548
00:21:14,239 --> 00:21:15,738
So you want to come and learn the job?
549
00:21:15,740 --> 00:21:16,973
Yes.
550
00:21:16,975 --> 00:21:18,541
Today, I'm gonna teach you safety
551
00:21:18,543 --> 00:21:20,343
about traffic stops, okay?
552
00:21:20,345 --> 00:21:23,012
Traffic stops can be very dangerous.
553
00:21:23,014 --> 00:21:25,281
Because you're going to the unknown.
554
00:21:25,283 --> 00:21:27,417
You really don't know
what you're driving up on.
555
00:21:27,419 --> 00:21:29,852
So we have to be safe at all times.
556
00:21:29,854 --> 00:21:32,288
Up front, we have Jose,
557
00:21:32,290 --> 00:21:33,923
he's gonna be our little suspect.
558
00:21:33,925 --> 00:21:35,191
- Okay.
- Okay?
559
00:21:35,193 --> 00:21:36,659
So, all right.
560
00:21:36,661 --> 00:21:38,528
We got the lights and
sirens here, all right?
561
00:21:38,530 --> 00:21:39,963
This is off.
562
00:21:39,965 --> 00:21:41,631
All the way over, it's gonna be on.
563
00:21:41,633 --> 00:21:43,866
- All right.
- Then for your sirens...
564
00:21:49,174 --> 00:21:51,607
Stay in a safe distance, stay back.
565
00:21:51,609 --> 00:21:52,742
Driver...
566
00:21:52,744 --> 00:21:54,744
pull into the parking lot.
567
00:21:54,746 --> 00:21:57,180
So we're telling him what he needs to do.
568
00:21:57,182 --> 00:21:59,549
- Okay.
- All right.
569
00:21:59,551 --> 00:22:01,217
So now we're gonna get ready to approach.
570
00:22:01,219 --> 00:22:02,819
- Okay.
- I'm approaching, right?
571
00:22:02,821 --> 00:22:04,420
I'm watching, I'm looking.
572
00:22:04,422 --> 00:22:06,255
Has any hands popped up? Do
I see any additional hands?
573
00:22:06,257 --> 00:22:07,523
No.
574
00:22:07,525 --> 00:22:08,558
I'm gonna stay close to the car.
575
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:09,993
Okay.
576
00:22:09,995 --> 00:22:11,828
In the event that he
wants to try to reach out
577
00:22:11,830 --> 00:22:14,797
with a gun and shoot, he's
gonna have to really reach out.
578
00:22:14,799 --> 00:22:16,899
Anybody ever try something with you?
579
00:22:16,901 --> 00:22:18,334
Yes, ma'am.
580
00:22:18,336 --> 00:22:19,736
- Yeah.
- Oh, my goodness.
581
00:22:19,738 --> 00:22:22,005
- So are you looking in?
- I am.
582
00:22:22,007 --> 00:22:23,539
Okay, go ahead with your right hand,
583
00:22:23,541 --> 00:22:25,475
and slowly reach for your driver's license.
584
00:22:25,477 --> 00:22:27,543
You can hand it to me with your right hand.
585
00:22:27,545 --> 00:22:29,012
Thank you.
586
00:22:29,014 --> 00:22:32,081
Shanesha is teaching me to be safe,
587
00:22:32,083 --> 00:22:34,684
to look out at all times.
588
00:22:34,686 --> 00:22:36,819
Can you please keep your
hand on the steering wheel?
589
00:22:36,821 --> 00:22:37,720
Yes, ma'am.
590
00:22:37,722 --> 00:22:38,688
- Miss Sheila?
- Yeah.
591
00:22:38,690 --> 00:22:40,223
- Hands kill.
- Yes.
592
00:22:40,225 --> 00:22:41,924
When you see her walk up to the car,
593
00:22:41,926 --> 00:22:45,028
you know she is a police
officer that means business.
594
00:22:45,030 --> 00:22:47,430
- We back up.
- Okay.
595
00:22:47,432 --> 00:22:48,998
- We're still looking, though.
- Still looking.
596
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,867
- Let him know you play no games.
- That's right.
597
00:22:50,869 --> 00:22:52,201
- All right.
- Yeah.
598
00:22:52,203 --> 00:22:53,736
- Got it?
- I think I got it.
599
00:22:53,738 --> 00:22:55,338
We're gonna go ahead and let you do it now.
600
00:22:55,340 --> 00:22:56,706
I'm ready when you are.
601
00:22:56,708 --> 00:22:58,608
- You ready?
- I'm ready.
602
00:22:58,610 --> 00:22:59,809
Show me what you got.
603
00:22:59,811 --> 00:23:00,943
We gonna get it.
604
00:23:04,849 --> 00:23:06,349
Make sure you stay at a safe distance.
605
00:23:06,351 --> 00:23:07,216
Oh.
606
00:23:08,620 --> 00:23:10,286
- Miss Sheila!
- Oh, Lord.
607
00:23:11,523 --> 00:23:12,588
Miss Sheila, he getting away, Miss Sheila!
608
00:23:12,590 --> 00:23:14,057
All right, all right.
609
00:23:14,059 --> 00:23:15,725
I'm gonna get him, I'm gonna get him.
610
00:23:15,727 --> 00:23:17,493
You letting him get away.
611
00:23:17,495 --> 00:23:18,461
All right.
612
00:23:18,463 --> 00:23:19,796
- Miss Sheila.
- Yes?
613
00:23:19,798 --> 00:23:21,364
So you would be calling it out, as well.
614
00:23:21,366 --> 00:23:23,232
- It's a lot going on...
- It's a lot to do.
615
00:23:23,234 --> 00:23:24,934
I know.
616
00:23:24,936 --> 00:23:27,403
But you have to call it
out where he's going, so...
617
00:23:27,405 --> 00:23:28,771
Oh, oh.
618
00:23:30,575 --> 00:23:32,842
Pull into the Subway, operator.
619
00:23:32,844 --> 00:23:34,877
Thank you.
620
00:23:34,879 --> 00:23:36,279
Where'd she get that from?
621
00:23:36,281 --> 00:23:37,980
Who told you to do that?
Did I show you that?
622
00:23:37,982 --> 00:23:38,714
I ain't think I did.
623
00:23:47,058 --> 00:23:48,724
Miss Sheila...
624
00:23:48,726 --> 00:23:51,127
you walking up there like you
getting ready to go shopping.
625
00:23:51,129 --> 00:23:53,129
I mean, just taking your sweet little time.
626
00:23:53,131 --> 00:23:54,697
Well, I didn't want to bum-rush him.
627
00:23:54,699 --> 00:23:56,332
Well, no, you don't have to bum-rush him,
628
00:23:56,334 --> 00:23:58,801
but you have to have a walk
of authority, Miss Sheila.
629
00:23:58,803 --> 00:24:00,103
They got to know you mean business.
630
00:24:00,105 --> 00:24:02,305
- Okay.
- Let's go.
631
00:24:02,307 --> 00:24:04,707
- Confidence.
- All right.
632
00:24:04,709 --> 00:24:06,109
Good afternoon, sir.
633
00:24:06,111 --> 00:24:08,244
May I have your driver's license?
634
00:24:08,246 --> 00:24:09,378
- Miss Sheila.
- Yes?
635
00:24:09,380 --> 00:24:10,746
Don't go reaching in his car.
636
00:24:10,748 --> 00:24:13,282
- Okay.
- So they can pull you in.
637
00:24:13,284 --> 00:24:15,051
Would you hand it to me, please?
638
00:24:15,053 --> 00:24:17,687
- Here you go, ma'am.
- A little bit further, please.
639
00:24:17,689 --> 00:24:20,523
- Yes, ma'am.
- Thank you so much.
640
00:24:20,525 --> 00:24:22,191
I'll be right back.
641
00:24:22,193 --> 00:24:24,260
Yes, ma'am.
642
00:24:24,262 --> 00:24:25,862
You were a little too far out.
643
00:24:25,864 --> 00:24:27,163
Yeah.
644
00:24:27,165 --> 00:24:28,431
So you got to kind of bring it back some.
645
00:24:28,433 --> 00:24:31,267
Uh, you're very bubbly, you know?
646
00:24:31,269 --> 00:24:33,536
And that's okay. You can be nice.
647
00:24:33,538 --> 00:24:35,371
But...
648
00:24:35,373 --> 00:24:37,106
I think you just come off...
649
00:24:37,108 --> 00:24:38,774
like, a little too jolly.
650
00:24:38,776 --> 00:24:41,110
I had high hopes for Miss Sheila.
651
00:24:41,112 --> 00:24:44,380
But, um, you know, she's all
nice and all grandma, you know?
652
00:24:44,382 --> 00:24:46,516
I don't know if Miss
Sheila has that tough bone.
653
00:24:46,518 --> 00:24:48,117
I'm gonna grab a water,
would you like one, too?
654
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:49,919
- Please, thank you.
- All right.
655
00:24:50,922 --> 00:24:53,623
So you saw a little bit today
656
00:24:53,625 --> 00:24:54,457
about traffic stops.
657
00:24:54,459 --> 00:24:55,992
Yeah.
658
00:24:55,994 --> 00:24:58,060
There's a lot more that
comes along with being
659
00:24:58,062 --> 00:24:59,462
a police officer.
660
00:24:59,464 --> 00:25:01,330
The danger that's there.
661
00:25:01,332 --> 00:25:03,533
The long hours that we have to work.
662
00:25:03,535 --> 00:25:05,835
The side jobs that we have to pick up
663
00:25:05,837 --> 00:25:07,370
to provide for our families.
664
00:25:07,372 --> 00:25:09,038
We actually don't make as much
665
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,340
as some of the surrounding agencies,
666
00:25:11,342 --> 00:25:13,376
which is kind of
unfortunate, because you are
667
00:25:13,378 --> 00:25:15,912
putting your life on the
line every single day.
668
00:25:15,914 --> 00:25:18,347
- Yeah.
- Here in Gary, we work hard.
669
00:25:18,349 --> 00:25:20,683
Some agencies may have two calls a day.
670
00:25:20,685 --> 00:25:23,853
Where I may be averaging 20 calls.
671
00:25:23,855 --> 00:25:25,454
- 20 calls?
- For one shift.
672
00:25:25,456 --> 00:25:27,223
Wow.
673
00:25:27,225 --> 00:25:29,892
This city, what was,
you know, once booming,
674
00:25:29,894 --> 00:25:31,861
and it kind of took a turn.
675
00:25:31,863 --> 00:25:34,664
But I'm so optimistic
that we can get that back.
676
00:25:34,666 --> 00:25:36,599
Now, I'm not sure everything
that it's gonna take
677
00:25:36,601 --> 00:25:39,135
to get it there, but I know that
678
00:25:39,137 --> 00:25:41,704
you have to invest in safety.
679
00:25:41,706 --> 00:25:44,941
Because no one is gonna
want to come here and invest
680
00:25:44,943 --> 00:25:47,577
when they don't feel safe.
681
00:25:47,579 --> 00:25:49,612
- That's true.
- We have a great department.
682
00:25:49,614 --> 00:25:51,280
Our officers are good.
683
00:25:51,282 --> 00:25:52,815
We just need some great leadership
684
00:25:52,817 --> 00:25:54,383
and better equipment.
685
00:25:54,385 --> 00:25:57,286
For starters, we could
use some brand-new cars.
686
00:25:57,288 --> 00:25:58,521
How old is this car?
687
00:25:58,523 --> 00:26:01,123
Um, I want to say this is a 2010.
688
00:26:01,125 --> 00:26:02,491
- Well, it's about six years old.
- Okay.
689
00:26:02,493 --> 00:26:04,126
That's kind of old.
690
00:26:04,128 --> 00:26:06,429
It's just a lot that comes
along with the territory.
691
00:26:06,431 --> 00:26:08,264
You know, we... we know that.
692
00:26:08,266 --> 00:26:11,334
It's just, um, when you have
to work all those hours...
693
00:26:11,336 --> 00:26:15,638
there's supposed to be a minimum
of 12 officers working a shift.
694
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,441
Some days we don't have 12.
695
00:26:18,443 --> 00:26:21,544
I was born and raised in Gary,
I have a lot of pride for Gary,
696
00:26:21,546 --> 00:26:23,446
a lot of... a lot of hope.
697
00:26:23,448 --> 00:26:25,314
I mean, that's... that's
why I'm still here.
698
00:26:25,316 --> 00:26:26,816
I've always known
699
00:26:26,818 --> 00:26:29,585
that police officers have a difficult job.
700
00:26:29,587 --> 00:26:32,221
My experience with
Shanesha confirmed that
701
00:26:32,223 --> 00:26:35,057
it's ten times harder
than I thought it was.
702
00:26:35,059 --> 00:26:38,728
They're literally laying their
lives on the line everyday
703
00:26:38,730 --> 00:26:41,664
with equipment that is not the best.
704
00:26:41,666 --> 00:26:44,000
That's a grave concern for me.
705
00:26:44,002 --> 00:26:46,936
I want to take a look at
what we can do as a city
706
00:26:46,938 --> 00:26:49,605
to improve our police
force and give them
707
00:26:49,607 --> 00:26:51,440
the support they deserve.
708
00:26:51,442 --> 00:26:52,808
How 'bout we go over there,
709
00:26:52,810 --> 00:26:54,243
and I'll show you some other things.
710
00:26:54,245 --> 00:26:55,177
- All right.
- Okay?
711
00:26:55,179 --> 00:26:56,178
Let's do it.
712
00:27:01,819 --> 00:27:03,819
Today, I'm going to be working
713
00:27:03,821 --> 00:27:06,188
with the beach cleanup crew
714
00:27:06,190 --> 00:27:08,324
at Marquette Park.
715
00:27:08,326 --> 00:27:11,527
Marquette Park is one of
my greatest opportunities
716
00:27:11,529 --> 00:27:14,430
to enhance tourism
in the city of Gary.
717
00:27:14,432 --> 00:27:17,400
However, this is one of
the areas, quite frankly,
718
00:27:17,402 --> 00:27:18,868
that we get the most complaints.
719
00:27:18,870 --> 00:27:20,469
The beach isn't clean,
720
00:27:20,471 --> 00:27:22,438
the garbage cans aren't
in the right place.
721
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,173
So I'm gonna see for myself.
722
00:27:30,682 --> 00:27:33,149
Excuse me, I'm looking for Steve.
723
00:27:33,151 --> 00:27:34,617
- I'm Steve.
- Oh, hey.
724
00:27:34,619 --> 00:27:35,985
- How you doing?
- How you doing?
725
00:27:35,987 --> 00:27:38,020
- My name is Sheila.
- All right, Sheila.
726
00:27:38,022 --> 00:27:40,423
I've been with the city for 25 years,
727
00:27:40,425 --> 00:27:43,225
and today, we're gonna be
running the beach cleaner,
728
00:27:43,227 --> 00:27:44,627
we're gonna be working on the beach.
729
00:27:44,629 --> 00:27:46,262
- Oh, my goodness.
- Yes.
730
00:27:47,065 --> 00:27:48,698
Normally...
731
00:27:48,700 --> 00:27:50,533
I would have a bigger machine out here,
732
00:27:50,535 --> 00:27:51,934
which is called a pay loader.
733
00:27:51,936 --> 00:27:54,403
Since the city did not pay the bill,
734
00:27:54,405 --> 00:27:57,006
I don't have it... they repossessed it.
735
00:27:58,543 --> 00:28:01,477
And it's gonna make the job
a little harder than normal.
736
00:28:01,479 --> 00:28:03,979
Well, why would it be easier than this?
737
00:28:03,981 --> 00:28:06,349
Because it has power steering,
738
00:28:06,351 --> 00:28:09,552
and has bigger tires,
and it's easier to steer.
739
00:28:09,554 --> 00:28:11,887
It was my understanding
that we had that pay loader
740
00:28:11,889 --> 00:28:13,255
a long time ago,
741
00:28:13,257 --> 00:28:15,358
and so the first thing I'm going to do
742
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:18,294
is ask, "Why haven't we
gotten that pay loader?"
743
00:28:18,296 --> 00:28:19,895
That needs to be a priority.
744
00:28:19,897 --> 00:28:21,864
- Are you ready?
- I'm ready, Steve.
745
00:28:21,866 --> 00:28:22,965
- I'm ready.
- All right.
746
00:28:22,967 --> 00:28:24,800
To start it, you turn the key.
747
00:28:26,771 --> 00:28:28,637
Throttle up.
748
00:28:28,639 --> 00:28:30,840
Raise the agitator.
749
00:28:31,843 --> 00:28:33,275
All right.
750
00:28:33,277 --> 00:28:36,545
- Just hang on tight.
- All right, I got it.
751
00:28:36,547 --> 00:28:38,314
You slow it down gently.
752
00:28:38,316 --> 00:28:40,015
And then take it back.
753
00:28:43,287 --> 00:28:44,820
Lower to neutral.
754
00:28:44,822 --> 00:28:47,590
So now let's switch spots
755
00:28:47,592 --> 00:28:49,024
and give you a try.
756
00:28:49,026 --> 00:28:50,326
All right, now.
757
00:28:50,328 --> 00:28:52,762
Remember, you got to raise the conveyer.
758
00:28:52,764 --> 00:28:54,397
The other way, the other way.
759
00:28:54,399 --> 00:28:55,564
There you go.
760
00:28:55,566 --> 00:28:58,033
Now throttle up a little.
761
00:28:58,035 --> 00:29:00,603
Take your time. Take your time.
762
00:29:00,605 --> 00:29:02,605
Now you're gonna go...
watch where you're going,
763
00:29:02,607 --> 00:29:05,541
'cause you're gonna keep
going straight back over there.
764
00:29:06,544 --> 00:29:09,412
Okay... oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
765
00:29:09,414 --> 00:29:12,581
- It's ain't that easy, is it?
- Okay... no it is not.
766
00:29:12,583 --> 00:29:14,283
It takes two hands to operate.
767
00:29:14,285 --> 00:29:16,085
You got to steer it with one
768
00:29:16,087 --> 00:29:18,821
and then the controls, you got
to operate with the other hand.
769
00:29:18,823 --> 00:29:21,690
You know, you got to be
coordinated enough to do that.
770
00:29:21,692 --> 00:29:23,759
I don't know, I don't know
if she's gonna be able to
771
00:29:23,761 --> 00:29:25,161
tough it out.
772
00:29:25,163 --> 00:29:26,662
Gonna run into a problem.
773
00:29:26,664 --> 00:29:27,897
Go up a little, go up a little.
774
00:29:29,500 --> 00:29:31,033
Keep it on the grass.
775
00:29:32,470 --> 00:29:34,804
You got to always watch your back wheel.
776
00:29:34,806 --> 00:29:36,739
Now turn it straight, turn it straight.
777
00:29:36,741 --> 00:29:38,574
- What're you doing?
- Uh.
778
00:29:38,576 --> 00:29:40,309
I was, like, so nervous,
779
00:29:40,311 --> 00:29:41,977
because I'm sitting there,
780
00:29:41,979 --> 00:29:44,880
praying that I don't
accidentally hit something.
781
00:29:44,882 --> 00:29:45,881
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
782
00:29:45,883 --> 00:29:47,082
Stop it.
783
00:29:47,084 --> 00:29:49,385
You see, the beach is very clean.
784
00:29:49,387 --> 00:29:50,920
This is our pride and joy.
785
00:29:50,922 --> 00:29:52,788
This is why we pick all the debris up
786
00:29:52,790 --> 00:29:53,856
that's around the beach.
787
00:29:53,858 --> 00:29:55,124
Take the cans...
788
00:29:56,928 --> 00:29:58,194
And we're going to the next one.
789
00:29:58,196 --> 00:29:59,395
All right.
790
00:29:59,397 --> 00:30:00,696
And you're gonna be on your own.
791
00:30:00,698 --> 00:30:02,164
And you do this on all the cans, Steve?
792
00:30:02,166 --> 00:30:05,267
- Yes, ma'am.
- How far does the beach go?
793
00:30:05,269 --> 00:30:07,369
Usually, we go all the
way down to Wells Beach.
794
00:30:09,574 --> 00:30:12,074
Hell, this is a lot of
stuff in here, Steve.
795
00:30:13,444 --> 00:30:14,477
And this is heavy.
796
00:30:17,782 --> 00:30:19,915
Tell you what, if I catch somebody
797
00:30:19,917 --> 00:30:21,951
leaving something out,
798
00:30:21,953 --> 00:30:23,486
they gonna have hell to pay.
799
00:30:23,488 --> 00:30:26,188
These people know good doggone well.
800
00:30:26,190 --> 00:30:29,358
They out here, they see the cans,
801
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,361
they too trifling to use the cans.
802
00:30:36,234 --> 00:30:38,100
Now let's move on to the next barrel.
803
00:30:41,372 --> 00:30:42,671
On to the next one.
804
00:30:44,408 --> 00:30:46,208
You got gloves on; I'm
gonna let you pick that up.
805
00:30:46,210 --> 00:30:47,910
- That's, uh...
- It looks like a little bird.
806
00:30:47,912 --> 00:30:49,645
Yeah.
807
00:30:49,647 --> 00:30:51,914
What we did today is nothing.
808
00:30:51,916 --> 00:30:53,516
Here we go again.
809
00:30:53,518 --> 00:30:55,184
I just don't think she would be able
810
00:30:55,186 --> 00:30:58,254
to handle the beach
for the whole day.
811
00:30:58,256 --> 00:31:00,489
This is not for the faint at heart.
812
00:31:00,491 --> 00:31:02,758
She'd probably quit.
813
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,027
So what do you think about the job?
814
00:31:05,029 --> 00:31:07,229
This is a tough job, Steve.
815
00:31:07,231 --> 00:31:09,465
When I first started,
we had a ten-man crew.
816
00:31:09,467 --> 00:31:10,766
Ten men?
817
00:31:10,768 --> 00:31:12,801
Ten... ten men doing this job.
818
00:31:12,803 --> 00:31:15,905
And now we're down to
two guys doing this job.
819
00:31:15,907 --> 00:31:19,208
And, uh, we ain't had a pay
raise for almost 15 years.
820
00:31:19,210 --> 00:31:24,280
I been making $13.24
821
00:31:24,282 --> 00:31:26,482
since 1991.
822
00:31:26,484 --> 00:31:28,717
- Oh, my God.
- 25 years.
823
00:31:28,719 --> 00:31:31,153
Steve, you are a dedicated man.
824
00:31:31,155 --> 00:31:33,155
That's why I work so many jobs.
825
00:31:33,157 --> 00:31:34,323
To keep it going.
826
00:31:34,325 --> 00:31:37,259
Once I get done with them, I go home
827
00:31:37,261 --> 00:31:39,194
and take care of my wife and all that.
828
00:31:39,196 --> 00:31:40,829
What's going on with your wife?
829
00:31:40,831 --> 00:31:44,533
Uh, she's got COPD, and
gots a heart disease.
830
00:31:47,505 --> 00:31:48,671
How old is your wife?
831
00:31:48,673 --> 00:31:50,339
Uh, 59.
832
00:31:50,341 --> 00:31:53,108
- Oh, my goodness.
- But love her to death.
833
00:31:53,110 --> 00:31:55,978
Trying to get her a heart so
I can keep her around longer.
834
00:31:55,980 --> 00:31:58,180
Fighting to keep her going.
835
00:31:58,182 --> 00:32:00,015
Keep pushing it.
836
00:32:00,017 --> 00:32:03,218
Her medicine, when I,
uh, go to the pharmacy,
837
00:32:03,220 --> 00:32:05,554
runs me, uh, $450.
838
00:32:05,556 --> 00:32:07,756
- Oh, my God.
- So I do my best.
839
00:32:07,758 --> 00:32:12,328
Steve is the poster
child for resilience.
840
00:32:12,330 --> 00:32:16,632
I'm ashamed, because our administration
841
00:32:16,634 --> 00:32:19,501
has really done a disservice to him.
842
00:32:19,503 --> 00:32:21,337
13.25 an hour?
843
00:32:21,339 --> 00:32:25,407
To work in the blazing hot sun
with insufficient equipment?
844
00:32:25,409 --> 00:32:28,410
This just is not fair to anyone.
845
00:32:28,412 --> 00:32:31,347
If I am Steve, I'm thinking,
846
00:32:31,349 --> 00:32:34,383
that I am not a high priority
847
00:32:34,385 --> 00:32:36,285
for the city, for the Mayor.
848
00:32:36,287 --> 00:32:39,054
They don't really care
that much about what I do.
849
00:32:39,056 --> 00:32:40,656
We have to do better.
850
00:32:40,658 --> 00:32:43,392
I have to do better.
851
00:32:43,394 --> 00:32:45,060
What we gonna do next, Steve?
852
00:32:45,062 --> 00:32:46,395
I got to go to all the way to Wells,
853
00:32:46,397 --> 00:32:47,596
it's over 12 miles.
854
00:32:47,598 --> 00:32:48,897
Lord have mercy.
855
00:32:48,899 --> 00:32:51,233
- All right.
- All right, now.
856
00:32:56,207 --> 00:32:57,506
Coming up,
857
00:32:57,508 --> 00:32:59,908
the Mayor meets with her employees.
858
00:32:59,910 --> 00:33:01,610
What's going on, Mayor?
859
00:33:01,612 --> 00:33:02,911
How will they react
860
00:33:02,913 --> 00:33:05,047
when she reveals her true identity?
861
00:33:05,049 --> 00:33:08,350
I just wanted you to know that I'm Sheila.
862
00:33:08,352 --> 00:33:09,218
Sheila?
863
00:33:09,220 --> 00:33:09,985
Oh, really?
864
00:33:21,797 --> 00:33:23,597
What I learned this weeks is that
865
00:33:23,599 --> 00:33:26,066
I need to fight even harder
to give our employees
866
00:33:26,068 --> 00:33:28,201
the tools they need to do their jobs
867
00:33:28,203 --> 00:33:32,572
so that we can make Gary the
city we all want it to be.
868
00:33:32,574 --> 00:33:35,976
I know I can't use taxpayer
dollars to give gifts,
869
00:33:35,978 --> 00:33:38,412
so I've spoken to some
people in the private sector
870
00:33:38,414 --> 00:33:41,581
and raised some funds so that
I can let our employees know
871
00:33:41,583 --> 00:33:44,284
how much I appreciate
their hard work.
872
00:33:46,822 --> 00:33:49,189
- Hey, how are you?
- Ms. Wilson.
873
00:33:49,191 --> 00:33:51,925
Get out of here.
874
00:33:51,927 --> 00:33:54,394
- Are you surprised to see me?
- Yes, ma'am.
875
00:33:54,396 --> 00:33:56,196
What's going on, Mayor?
876
00:33:56,198 --> 00:33:58,031
What did you think about Sheila?
877
00:33:58,033 --> 00:34:00,100
She would need practice.
878
00:34:00,102 --> 00:34:02,002
She wasn't tough enough.
879
00:34:02,004 --> 00:34:03,136
All right.
880
00:34:03,138 --> 00:34:05,172
I just wanted you to know
881
00:34:05,174 --> 00:34:06,039
that I'm Sheila.
882
00:34:06,041 --> 00:34:07,274
Sheila?
883
00:34:07,276 --> 00:34:08,508
Oh, really?
884
00:34:08,510 --> 00:34:11,311
Miss Sheila, aka, Karen Freeman-Wilson.
885
00:34:11,313 --> 00:34:13,213
You look different.
886
00:34:13,215 --> 00:34:16,116
Have you ever seen the
show Undercover Boss?
887
00:34:16,118 --> 00:34:18,852
- I have, yes.
- That's what this is.
888
00:34:18,854 --> 00:34:20,487
So...
889
00:34:20,489 --> 00:34:21,922
You did good with the hair.
890
00:34:21,924 --> 00:34:25,325
Shanesha, I was truly impressed with you
891
00:34:25,327 --> 00:34:28,695
as an officer, and obviously
with you as a person.
892
00:34:28,697 --> 00:34:31,465
I was born and raised in Gary.
I have a lot of pride for Gary.
893
00:34:31,467 --> 00:34:33,467
You know, and again, we
have a great department.
894
00:34:33,469 --> 00:34:35,035
We just need some great leadership
895
00:34:35,037 --> 00:34:36,503
and... and better equipment.
896
00:34:36,505 --> 00:34:38,171
You really hit home with me when you were
897
00:34:38,173 --> 00:34:41,508
talking about the equipment.
898
00:34:41,510 --> 00:34:44,845
So as you know, the city
of Gary really doesn't have
899
00:34:44,847 --> 00:34:46,113
a lot of money.
900
00:34:46,115 --> 00:34:50,517
But I understand the importance
901
00:34:50,519 --> 00:34:52,619
of certain things.
902
00:34:52,621 --> 00:34:56,289
And so, I've made some decisions
903
00:34:56,291 --> 00:35:00,827
that will allow us to
make these investments.
904
00:35:00,829 --> 00:35:04,798
So, Shanesha, the city is going to purchase
905
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,933
50 new police cars,
906
00:35:06,935 --> 00:35:10,670
which is a $1.1 million investment
907
00:35:10,672 --> 00:35:12,339
in our city's police force.
908
00:35:14,042 --> 00:35:15,842
It'll get the guys going.
909
00:35:15,844 --> 00:35:17,210
Yes, ma'am.
910
00:35:17,212 --> 00:35:20,847
And one of the things that also struck me,
911
00:35:20,849 --> 00:35:23,517
the number of people on each shift.
912
00:35:23,519 --> 00:35:26,586
The minimum staffing is supposed to be 12.
913
00:35:26,588 --> 00:35:28,321
That isn't the case.
914
00:35:28,323 --> 00:35:30,223
Because of that experience with you
915
00:35:30,225 --> 00:35:31,825
and because of the fact that
916
00:35:31,827 --> 00:35:35,362
you have ideas that I may not always hear,
917
00:35:35,364 --> 00:35:36,263
that are important...
918
00:35:36,265 --> 00:35:37,464
Okay.
919
00:35:37,466 --> 00:35:39,266
I'm gonna make it my business
920
00:35:39,268 --> 00:35:43,069
to sit down with
employees all over the city
921
00:35:43,071 --> 00:35:45,338
on a routine basis.
922
00:35:45,340 --> 00:35:47,874
You're gonna be first on that list.
923
00:35:47,876 --> 00:35:49,443
I appreciate that.
924
00:35:49,445 --> 00:35:50,911
The last thing is,
925
00:35:50,913 --> 00:35:53,480
hearing you talk about your family,
926
00:35:53,482 --> 00:35:57,083
and even to hear you
talk about a side job now,
927
00:35:57,085 --> 00:35:58,485
that's a lot of working.
928
00:35:58,487 --> 00:35:59,986
Mm-hmm.
929
00:35:59,988 --> 00:36:02,622
So I want to send you and
your family on vacation.
930
00:36:02,624 --> 00:36:04,124
All expenses paid.
931
00:36:04,126 --> 00:36:05,959
Oh, wow.
932
00:36:05,961 --> 00:36:06,993
Nice.
933
00:36:06,995 --> 00:36:10,130
I really appreciate that.
934
00:36:10,132 --> 00:36:12,799
I may have a tough exterior,
935
00:36:12,801 --> 00:36:15,635
but inside, I am just...
I am freaking out.
936
00:36:15,637 --> 00:36:19,239
I'm totally excited about
what's gonna come for the city.
937
00:36:19,241 --> 00:36:20,640
I'm just super excited
938
00:36:20,642 --> 00:36:22,943
to be on the Undercover Boss.
939
00:36:22,945 --> 00:36:24,578
Like, I watch this show.
940
00:36:24,580 --> 00:36:26,346
Nate.
941
00:36:26,348 --> 00:36:29,249
One of the things that you mentioned
942
00:36:29,251 --> 00:36:31,651
was sort of the conditions of the house.
943
00:36:31,653 --> 00:36:34,488
We haven't had that much
updates to our stations.
944
00:36:34,490 --> 00:36:36,289
All that stuff costs money.
945
00:36:36,291 --> 00:36:39,326
And right now, you know,
money, it just ain't there.
946
00:36:39,328 --> 00:36:40,861
We ain't got the money, we can't do it.
947
00:36:42,431 --> 00:36:44,998
One of the things that I'd like to do
948
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,734
is to get the house remodeled.
949
00:36:47,736 --> 00:36:50,437
I mean, any little bit will be great.
950
00:36:50,439 --> 00:36:53,073
All of the upgrades and investments,
951
00:36:53,075 --> 00:36:55,976
the amount will be close to $20,000.
952
00:36:55,978 --> 00:36:57,944
They gonna lose it.
953
00:36:57,946 --> 00:37:02,449
Not only are we gonna do the
station on Grand Boulevard,
954
00:37:02,451 --> 00:37:06,086
for the next six or seven years,
955
00:37:06,088 --> 00:37:09,022
it's my goal to do one a year.
956
00:37:09,024 --> 00:37:10,323
Oh, man.
957
00:37:10,325 --> 00:37:13,493
This will really make the guys feel great.
958
00:37:13,495 --> 00:37:16,930
Nate, there's one more
thing I want to tell you.
959
00:37:16,932 --> 00:37:18,498
I know you played basketball.
960
00:37:18,500 --> 00:37:19,499
Yes, ma'am.
961
00:37:19,501 --> 00:37:22,168
Nate, I want to send you,
962
00:37:22,170 --> 00:37:24,638
all expenses paid,
963
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:28,475
to the NBA All-Star Game.
964
00:37:28,477 --> 00:37:29,776
Oh, for really?
965
00:37:29,778 --> 00:37:31,645
Good tickets, not the cheap seats.
966
00:37:31,647 --> 00:37:33,246
That's amazing. That'd be great.
967
00:37:33,248 --> 00:37:38,184
All of this is worth almost $10,000.
968
00:37:38,186 --> 00:37:39,619
I'm trying to contain myself.
969
00:37:39,621 --> 00:37:41,354
Never would've thought, four years ago
970
00:37:41,356 --> 00:37:42,622
the Mayor swore me in;
971
00:37:42,624 --> 00:37:44,090
four years later, she was telling me
972
00:37:44,092 --> 00:37:45,759
that she was inspired by my actions.
973
00:37:45,761 --> 00:37:46,726
- 6'8" Nate.
- Yeah.
974
00:37:48,564 --> 00:37:50,797
I'm gonna definitely let the
guys know about the remodel.
975
00:37:50,799 --> 00:37:53,099
I'm gonna say, "Yeah, 6'8
Nate, hooked y'all up."
976
00:37:53,101 --> 00:37:54,935
It's a great feeling.
977
00:37:56,305 --> 00:37:57,370
Brandon.
978
00:37:57,372 --> 00:37:59,306
I know that you think that
979
00:37:59,308 --> 00:38:03,043
the plant superintendent
and I are best friends.
980
00:38:03,045 --> 00:38:04,878
They don't fix nothing around here.
981
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:06,212
Well, why don't they fix it?
982
00:38:06,214 --> 00:38:08,682
Our boss and the Mayor are best friends,
983
00:38:08,684 --> 00:38:10,383
so who can you tell?
984
00:38:10,385 --> 00:38:12,786
While I respect her greatly,
985
00:38:12,788 --> 00:38:14,921
we are really not close friends.
986
00:38:14,923 --> 00:38:19,225
I want you to feel like you're being heard.
987
00:38:19,227 --> 00:38:21,561
So we're going to dinner.
988
00:38:21,563 --> 00:38:24,598
Me, you.
989
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:26,533
You get to pick the place.
990
00:38:26,535 --> 00:38:29,102
Whatever suggestions you have,
991
00:38:29,104 --> 00:38:31,171
we are listening.
992
00:38:31,173 --> 00:38:33,873
I was really encouraged
993
00:38:33,875 --> 00:38:37,544
by your discussion about your sons.
994
00:38:37,546 --> 00:38:41,047
- Mm-hmm.
- So here's what I'd like to do.
995
00:38:41,049 --> 00:38:45,051
I'd like to create a college fund
996
00:38:45,053 --> 00:38:46,519
of $5,000.
997
00:38:46,521 --> 00:38:48,888
- Wow.
- For your sons.
998
00:38:48,890 --> 00:38:51,391
Wow. Thank you so much.
999
00:38:51,393 --> 00:38:53,560
And I'd also like to give you
1000
00:38:53,562 --> 00:38:57,130
$2,500 to help take care of your family.
1001
00:38:57,132 --> 00:38:58,398
That's crazy.
1002
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,066
Thank you, Ms. Wilson.
1003
00:39:00,068 --> 00:39:03,970
Here's the thing that I want
you to really understand.
1004
00:39:03,972 --> 00:39:06,906
When you came out of
prison, you had a choice.
1005
00:39:06,908 --> 00:39:08,675
And you chose the right path.
1006
00:39:08,677 --> 00:39:10,143
Thank you.
1007
00:39:10,145 --> 00:39:12,145
I go all over the place.
1008
00:39:12,147 --> 00:39:14,581
Talk to all kinds of folks.
1009
00:39:14,583 --> 00:39:17,250
There are other guys out there
1010
00:39:17,252 --> 00:39:18,084
at a crossroads.
1011
00:39:18,086 --> 00:39:19,219
Mm-hmm.
1012
00:39:19,221 --> 00:39:21,821
The may go left; they may go right.
1013
00:39:21,823 --> 00:39:25,125
And I want to know
1014
00:39:25,127 --> 00:39:27,727
whether you're willing to go
1015
00:39:27,729 --> 00:39:30,730
on the speaking circuit with me.
1016
00:39:30,732 --> 00:39:33,900
I don't have the credibility that you have
1017
00:39:33,902 --> 00:39:37,871
that will really help a whole lot of folks
1018
00:39:37,873 --> 00:39:39,305
turn their lives around.
1019
00:39:39,307 --> 00:39:41,174
I hope so. I got you.
1020
00:39:41,176 --> 00:39:42,842
Whenever you need me.
1021
00:39:42,844 --> 00:39:44,944
- All right.
- Can I get a hug?
1022
00:39:44,946 --> 00:39:46,613
Thank you so much.
1023
00:39:46,615 --> 00:39:48,748
- Of course you can get a hug.
- Thank you so much.
1024
00:39:48,750 --> 00:39:51,484
I really do appreciate it,
you don't even understand.
1025
00:39:51,486 --> 00:39:53,520
I thought the Mayor listened
to everything I had to say
1026
00:39:53,522 --> 00:39:55,088
and I thought she listened to the issues.
1027
00:39:55,090 --> 00:39:57,023
It definitely feels good that she
1028
00:39:57,025 --> 00:39:58,992
recognized that I made a change,
1029
00:39:58,994 --> 00:40:00,794
and it's a blessing.
1030
00:40:00,796 --> 00:40:02,562
It really is, man. It really is.
1031
00:40:02,564 --> 00:40:03,963
It's a blessing.
1032
00:40:05,367 --> 00:40:06,733
Steve.
1033
00:40:06,735 --> 00:40:08,368
You know, we talk about Marquette
1034
00:40:08,370 --> 00:40:09,402
being our jewel, right?
1035
00:40:09,404 --> 00:40:10,770
Right.
1036
00:40:10,772 --> 00:40:12,605
And we've not really treated it that way,
1037
00:40:12,607 --> 00:40:15,375
in terms of giving you the equipment.
1038
00:40:15,377 --> 00:40:17,877
And quite frankly, we're not treating you
1039
00:40:17,879 --> 00:40:19,546
as being very valued.
1040
00:40:19,548 --> 00:40:21,648
And that has to change.
1041
00:40:21,650 --> 00:40:25,452
Normally, I would have a
bigger machine out here.
1042
00:40:25,454 --> 00:40:27,687
Since the city did not pay the bill,
1043
00:40:27,689 --> 00:40:30,290
I don't have it... they repossessed it.
1044
00:40:30,292 --> 00:40:34,594
Steve, we're going to
invest in a beach comber.
1045
00:40:34,596 --> 00:40:35,962
Okay.
1046
00:40:35,964 --> 00:40:39,199
That is much newer than that '91 relic.
1047
00:40:39,201 --> 00:40:41,234
I would love it.
1048
00:40:41,236 --> 00:40:43,069
Guarantee, I'll keep it maintained;
1049
00:40:43,071 --> 00:40:44,571
there ain't a problem in that.
1050
00:40:44,573 --> 00:40:47,674
You told me that you had not had a raise.
1051
00:40:47,676 --> 00:40:49,676
I am going to give
1052
00:40:49,678 --> 00:40:53,179
you and your coworkers
the ten percent raise.
1053
00:40:53,181 --> 00:40:55,148
Thank you. Thank you.
1054
00:40:57,252 --> 00:40:59,419
Might get rid of a couple jobs.
1055
00:41:06,194 --> 00:41:07,961
You talked about
1056
00:41:07,963 --> 00:41:10,230
your wife's health challenges
1057
00:41:10,232 --> 00:41:11,664
and her health needs.
1058
00:41:11,666 --> 00:41:13,900
She was diagnosed with the heart disease.
1059
00:41:18,306 --> 00:41:20,306
So here's what we're gonna do.
1060
00:41:20,308 --> 00:41:22,942
We're going to set up a medical fund
1061
00:41:22,944 --> 00:41:25,545
so that over the next two years,
1062
00:41:25,547 --> 00:41:27,814
you will have $10,000 to use
1063
00:41:27,816 --> 00:41:30,250
for your family's health needs,
1064
00:41:30,252 --> 00:41:32,752
which means that you'll be able to
1065
00:41:32,754 --> 00:41:35,388
pay for any medicine.
1066
00:41:35,390 --> 00:41:38,358
Thank you. So much.
1067
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,094
Thank you for being such an integral part
1068
00:41:41,096 --> 00:41:42,495
of Team Gary.
1069
00:41:42,497 --> 00:41:45,031
You are an inspiration, not just to me,
1070
00:41:45,033 --> 00:41:47,967
but I'm sure to everybody
in the park department.
1071
00:41:47,969 --> 00:41:49,803
Thank you.
1072
00:41:49,805 --> 00:41:51,905
I can't get no happier
than what I am right now.
1073
00:41:51,907 --> 00:41:55,141
I would be able to take
care of my wife more
1074
00:41:55,143 --> 00:41:58,044
and it would make my
life a whole lot easier.
1075
00:41:58,046 --> 00:42:00,647
And I mean, I can finally, finally,
1076
00:42:00,649 --> 00:42:03,316
in my life, I can get ahead of myself.
1077
00:42:03,318 --> 00:42:04,384
- God bless you.
- God bless you.
1078
00:42:04,386 --> 00:42:05,552
All right.
1079
00:42:42,925 --> 00:42:47,925
