Too old school. LOL. Now if that was the new body style yes.

I think Charger is #1 followed not too far behind Interceptor in my book, if I had to pick. Never Chevy.

Best part of the job working at HPN Ops was snow removal.

Lucky and happy all OK. Guess they get a new engine out of it.

Bronxville PD only has these in their fleet.

Was that the crash on CPA under the Thruway near the old Ground Round? Remember that one.

I used to drive that ARFF Truck. Old Airport 7.

All should be free, period!

Hearing officer hired by the fire district, LOL, yeah, that is a non-biased opinion!

It could be as simple as giving him a pay and rank bump before he leaves. Not sure what they did when VOPD merged. Maybe they leave, fully knowing they will be out of a job, and if so, trust me, they are not walking away empty handed.

And they will get better cars, based on what I have been told about MK's current vehicles.

Not what the article says. The merger is still a possibility. There are other reasons that this could have been done that does not have anything to do with if they merge or not.

www.fdnytrucks.com might be a start.

As for the level of service, I am referring to manpower, not equipment, special services, etc.... The Town can so whatever it thinks is best for the Town, but, somebodies math is incorrect. If that's how they want to sell it,well, so be it. None of this affects me either way, FYI.....

Not sure what the position is, I doubt the above, but, you can not cover a Town 24/7 hiring 5 guys. They said they will cover the uncovered by paying overtime. Sure, they save over 4 years, but that savings will be gone after all the overtime.

Simple. Hire 5 guys to patrol 24/7??? If VOPD has that many guys to spare TOPD then they are overstaffed. They will be taking away manpower from VOPD, sure the residents would love that. Come on here, this is simple math. it takes more guys to cover a Town 24/7 than 5, without taking resources from another, and/or adding overtime.

It is accurate. Maybe they had some left over vehicles around or paint, but that paint is no longer made. The paint is made by 1 company, not by each car manufacturer. I know, trust me.

Thereby eating up the savings of the contract difference, so there will be no savings. VOPD said they will only hire 5 officers. Sorry, in the end, there will be no savings, and they will not get the same level of service.

The dark blue paint is no longer made so they have gone to black.

According to Lohud, the ones that closed were owned by a particular franchise. They are the only ones affected. J&B Restaurant Partners was the franchise for Rockland and Westchester Friendly's and have shut down all of the locations they own.

Ones in Orange County open, maybe a franchise location went under.

There have been issues with those SUV's. It was referenced in an article about the State Trooper who died a few months back upstate. SUV's are great, but, honestly, they can get squirrely at with the center of gravity so high. I know the NYSP revised their training a few years back when they increased the use of SUV's and I know they are lower to the ground then the average comparable model but they are still SUV's. I am not saying any of this had to do with this accident, but attention has been given to SUV's by the NYSP.

Excellent, goos luck. Some advise for the future..Go corporate if you ever get the chance! Aviator70.

Not a chance. The military can not even shot down any aircraft without an express verbal authority and approval from the President. While the military has been given some leeway in making this decision without approval, I can tell you there is not a chance in hell that the NYPD has any authority. Think of this, where would that aircraft, or its parts, land if it was shot down over NYC??? Sorry, the ramifications would be like ones we have never seen before. Leave the job where it falls at, the military, not the NYPD.
