It is interesting to note that on Wednesday, August 10, Police Commissioner Michael Codd was out of town. Not in Europe or China; just out of town. John J. Santucci, district attorney of Queens, site of five of the eight Son of Sam attacks, would later offer this observation: "If you knew beforehand that you had identified your suspect, you just would not make the biggest arrest in the history of the Police Department without the commissioner available. It's simply not done. They didn't know until the very end it was Berkowitz they were after."

Hello teachers!
I've been contemplating this for a while and just want to ask something.
Regarding this particular context, does the sentence:
"If you knew beforehand that you had identified your suspect, you just would not make the biggest arrest in the history of the Police Department without the commissioner available." (2. Conditional)
conveys the same as:
"If we had known beforehand that we had identified our suspect, we just would not have made the biggest arrest in the history of the Police Department without the commissioner available."? (3. Conditional)
In other words, if John J. Santucci had said the second sentence (using 3. Conditional) at that press conference, would it have meant the same?
Thanks!
