Other airports require a finger swipe to gain access. Congressman swallow has identified companies that provide technology that could help secure the airport.

What im going to do is try to find the funding necessary to make sure that passengers are protected.

New at 6 00 tonight, neverbeforeseen success in San Francisco. Thats how the sheriff is describing whats happening at his jails. The number of inmates 1 down. But how. And what does that mean for plans to build a new jail . Nbc is live in San Francisco where theyre starting to see, really, the impact of keeping people out of jail. Stephanie . Yeah, good evening, jessica. The focus is really preventing inmates from returning, keeping them out of jail like the two that are here in the San Francisco sheriffs department. Now, even the sheriff is asking will we need to build a new jail. This is one of the lowest jail populations ever per capita which makes our jails one of the most undercrowded in the united states. Theres another number, the sheriff says, is just as important. 1460. Thats the number of people serving a sentence outside jail walls today. Here is where San Francisco is a pioneer. If Substance Abuse is the issue, theyre getting the treatment and they dont have to incarcerate. If people had access to residential treatment, if people had access to good, mental hemt care, if people had access to affordable housing, they wouldnt be in jail in the first place there have been talks about building a branld new jail with one plant putting the cost to 600 million. The two costs are too unsafe. It begs the question because of a declining jail population, will we need a new jail . I think thats open for discussion. Today, the sheriffs ufs had its first hiring. The police saying more officers on the streets means more arrest. This will not translate into an increase in population as long as they stay the course. Nbc bay area news. All right, stephanie, thank you. Up next here at 6 00, moving in. The latest big name event . Coming to levi stadium. Those things are necessary for pronunciation.

Thats caused by a semitruck crashing into a funeral home around midnight. The rig xgw burst into flames scaring neighbors. I was on the phone with a friend. I had just hung up and all of the sudden, we heard bam, pow, pow. And he said oh, my god, did you see that . What he saw, the driver, hes unbelievably okay. Authorities may think that may be a mechanical failure. On the peninsula, keeping memories alive of some Fallen Heroes 234 the bay area. Palo alto police dedicated three redwood trees to the three fallen officers. They will now been known as Memorial Grove for officers gene cliffton, theodore mazinga and lester cole. They were killed between 1969 and 1974. The cash that lawmakers are attempting to grab and how it can im÷oo you. Your students and staff and your faculty, they feel the investigation didnt go far enough. They feel that justice didnt take place and where is the justice . How does a dean answer accusations of an investigate ef cover up . Im tony kobalesky. Tonight, a question of justice in justice studies. We investigate. [ barks ] whoo mmm oh, yeah [ whistling ] [ male announcer ] discover your new orleans. Start exploring at followyournola. Com. [ woman ] and i love new orleans new questions abtsd whand inside this department. Thousands of dollars of school money spent on one man. Tonight, conflict and questions at san jose state. Did the university droop the ball . San jose state is in the spotlight after its own investigation into questionable spending on one of its Department Heads. Tony, students and faculty say they just want accountability. Accountability because University Department head got caught using things for personal use. Many tonight are saying thats simply not enough. We investigate justice in justice studies. Inside this building, inside these classrooms principals talk about equity, justice. Shes a professor in the department. If san jose state yumpblt thinks that what happened at the department is done with and justice was served, i openly disagree with them. Did tdid the university do te right thing here . In my eyes 1234 no. For me, it just seems like everything got swept under the rock and was aokay. Questionable spending and this investigation. Im really alarmed about it and im alarmed that San Jose University isnt concerned that it looks like tens of thousands of dollars are doing. The nbc Investigative Unit obtained a copy of this letter sent by the Department Head dr. Carea to dean charlie bullock. The investigation seems to me to be a bit of a cover up. It found that the head of justice studies has used nearly 7 rks 7,000 for personal expenses that included an ipad, plane tickets and parking charges. He gets caught, he reimburses the money. Apparently, nothing else happens. Is that justice . Absolutely not. Thats theater, basically. After he was questioned about the unait rised Checking Account after he closed 2 account and admitted to spending 6800 on personal items and exz penszs, the doctor returned the money. But san jose concluded there was no indication of fiscal impro pryty. They declare that no fiscal impropriety occurred, its an oxymoron. It doesnt make sense. Oh, absolutely. And even more so because it following the investigation, san jose students organized an online petition. So far, more than 300 signatures calling for a more thorough investigation. If youre a faculty or high position employee on this campus, you can get away with anything. Thats the message thats being perpetuated. Some student, staff and faculty want the university to dig deeper. Their concern centers on tens of thousands of dollars in some of these contracts they say the doctor awarded to Close Friends there were favors that were given. Theres a long list of financial abuses that were never dealt with. The accusations were included in this 16 page whistle blower report sent to the california state auditor last year. We contacted san jose state to answer the concerns of student, staff and faculty members. Hey, tony. After declining our request for an interview, we met shawn bibb on campus. Hes the yumpblts Vice President of administration and finance. His department conducted the investigation. Are you satisfied with your investigation . Im satisfied the university the investigation concluded that there were no funds used from an unauthorized Checking Account. Were made whole, if we didnt lose any funds, and we did not, in the end,no fiscal impropriety occurred. Are you satisfied with the conclusion of this investigation . If i werent, i would be doing more. I think i just told you, it seems to me what i thought needed to be done, was done. Hes in charge of the justice studies department. We met him at the san jose air port. But does it add up . Unauthorized Checking Account . Your students, your staff and the investigative students. So ultimately, the universitys investigations called for no discipline and the findings were not turned over to police. The only corrective action the yumpbt called for was a reque
