What is the government's burden of proving a defendant is a danger to the community?

The government bears "the burden throughout the proceeding to show by clear and convincing evidence that no condition or combination of conditions would reasonably assure . . . the safety of the community." United States v. Moore, 607 F. Supp. 489, 497 (N.D. Cal. 1985). "A [court's] finding that a defendant is a danger to any other person or the community must be supported by 'clear and convincing evidence.'" United States v. Hir, 517 F.3d 1081, 1086 (9th Cir. 2008) (citing 18 U.S.C. 3142(f)(2)(B)).
