3) Once the officers are in, it will take another six months to develop and then survey the pilot group and figure out what they want, based on the DPA survey
4) Once those results are known, another six months to craft an opener.

Frankly, I think those are best case times - so two years is probably optimistic. Meanwhile, the rest of us tread water and watch the world go by living under "status quo" conditions.

No thanks.
