One on three, let's start working on closing all these businesses down because they're turning into the area that's locked. Nine one six. When you want, I'll send you a photo. Any other CSOs clear? One motion two, so I can start. Ocean 2-2-104. It might be better to shut down at Cuyahia Santa Cruz for all westbound. One question, one copy. Who ended up at Oak Tree in Valencia? One-three to one-time-one: do you need all those units with you or can they assist with traffic control? One-time one, do you need all those units 23[1] with you at the package or can those atom units assist? Move the atom units to traffic control. We've got to get these intersections locked down. I sent you a picture; can we send it to a bomb squad unit? It looks like a transient bag, maybe batteries or hard drives. I'm not getting any indication it's explosive. I'm blocking cell phone traffic. Westbound could be blocked by (name withheld) board for (name withheld). Where'd you end up? I'm at Midvale. Blocking South Park. One-three to the ocean units approaching: when you can, work on blocking between Oakley and Midvale Park for businesses on the north and south service streets. Units are leaking through the businesses going eastbound; I need to stop that. One item two, I'll take a position at the business egress at Blake's and Panda, redirecting traffic westbound. If I need to hold off on shutting down Santa Cruz I can use that unit to shut off another business exit. One-time one: we'll meet someone over here by the Chili's to shut this down. (name withheld) come across. Do I get the photos? I want to send to the bomb squad. Copy. 21 sent the photo to the bomb squad. I'm going to start taping off the business on the south side. Do a hard closure for Midvale and Valencia for now. Get everybody heading southbound on Midvale to clear out and force traffic back north. We need another unit at Supercuts; vehicles are coming out of the Supercuts parking lot and going eastbound. Also clear the bus stop. 7:54. I've contacted the bomb squad; photo sent. Stand by.
