"I want to say that the teachers, the unions, they have a right to protest, but they must do so within the context of the law. And for all that I have known, the unions have always done a peaceful demonstration. So they are within their rights."

"Right now they're very close to the event, though. Have they been sanctioned to be here?"

Dr Richard Rosado, Commissioner of Police
"The event has concluded. So they are not in breach of any of the conditions of the bonds."

Reporter
"And then the security threat is at minimum at this point?"

Dr Richard Rosado, Commissioner of Police
"Yes, the security threat here is at minimum."

Reporter
"Talk a bit about what it took to organize this event. We saw police officers scattered across the ring road today. That's a lot of resources."

Dr Richard Rosado, Commissioner of Police
"Well, honestly, we were anticipating a larger crowd. We were anticipating a larger crowd, but it did not turn out to the size that we were anticipating. But our policing effort are based on our threat assessment."

"And based on the threat assessment, then we would post our police officers to police the event to ensure that they can protest and they can protest doing so peacefully. Whenever we have a demonstration, our first approach, and I have emphasized this with them, that they must approach the protesters, the unions, the teachers, or whoever is protesting in a diplomatic manner."

Reporter
"What's the instruction at this point in time now that they're so close to the building?"

Dr Richard Rosado, Commissioner of Police
"It's the same thing? It's the same thing. We will allow them as long as they are doing it within the context of the law."
