Garcia says there's a great relationship with the office and the Bills. He says it was warming to everybody. "We've had that defund the police movement and so forth over the last few years and for people to appreciate the hard working men and women that are doing a very difficult job in the correctional facilities, it was greatly appreciated," says Garcia.
