Anybody know anything about Sean Penn filming "Fair Game" in a Battle Hill house the other day? They were also at the Westchester Medical Center. Saw this posted on Imdb.com, but no details on www.onlocationvacations.com. Angelina Jolie's "Salt" film was to film weeks back at either the County courthouse or nearby office building, but maybe those plans were scrapped. Anybody know?? Thanks

Has anybody ever been aware of plainclothes K-9's on a permanent basis?? This came to mind after remembering that Yonkers PD briefly did plainclothes K-9 detail going way back when northeast Yonkers was drowning in daily house burglaries and I believe they did the detail in the Crestwood part of town with the PO in plainclothes "dog walking" walking through the residential neighborhood, including use of a non descript anti crime car that might have been a green Chrysler Newport. But since K-9 in a marked car alone is such a tremendous deterrent, maybe plainclothes would not be practical. Thanks and Stay Safe!!!

I lucked out yesterday and my car battery died in my driveway. I do keep a phone book page of towing companies in the car, but wondered which companies in lower Westchester are the most reliable. Thanks and Stay Safe Dr. Zuki Lawrence Hospital

They have returned today to the same area as last Friday-Van Cortlandt park Ave @ Radford Street. Not sure if they are filming inside or outside. Dr. Zuki Lawrence Hospital

What type of stunt were they filming Friday night on Van Cortlandt near Radford Street?? The star's detective car had a hose and a device rigged to the outside of the passenger door. Was it for a very minor explosion??? The Journal News today said the car was to explode, but I doubt it having worked in these projects before and seeing the car with it's original roof still intact. If the car was to totally explode Friday night, then they would have had the effects guys rigging it hours ahead of time. Leave it to the Journal News to get it work. Anti-cop Ernie Garcia must have written it... The other night I had the 11PM re runs on and it looked like a scene was shot outside the NY State thruway rest stop just above Stew Leonard's.

I just happened to be driving by Sunday night's Greenburgh PD job at Amazing Savngs and can't help but to wonder why none of the major media showed up....maybe Breaking News Network did not broadcast this incident to them ??? Regardless, great job by all involved who saved the day!! Dr. Zuki Lawrence Hospital

Did I hear this one correct last night that a paving machine on Riverdale Avenue was impounded??? How were they able to put it on to a big flatbed tow truck without turning it??? These machines have those army tank wheels and treads...do they roll without the machine turned on??? So what other unusual MV impounds have been done over the years??? What happens if you have to impound a truckload of refrigerated food, etc during the summer time??? I remember a truck load of live bees overturning on I-287, White Plains, in the mid 1990's. LOL Dr. Zuki Lawrence Hospital

What's up with the YPD doing alert tones several times per hour followed by nothing broadcasted??? Maybe this is an laert for laptop/ MDT data being sent out??? Thanks and Happy New Year to all.

Would there be any sense in merging the Yonkers PD citywide Sreet Crime Unit into the precinct anti crime units which perform the same plainclothes duties?? Correct me if wrong, but doesn't citywide SCU basically confine itself to southwest Yonkers?? Is it a duplication of the precinct level anti crime teams??/ Regardless, they all are doing a bang up job... just wonder if there is any sense merging citywide into the precincts or not. Many Thanks Dr. Zuki Lawrence Hospital

These so called community leaders blame everybody else but themselves. They are eternal victims. Put the blame where it really belongs--on absentee fathers and the entire harmful culture of illegitimate fathering. Dr. Zuki Lawrence Hospital

Anybody on this board know any firefighters assigned to Battlion 19 in De' Bronx??? Curious as somebody I used to know years back is a Lt. there and won themselves a nice award from the FDNY Commissioner. Thanks.

Judges will not order internet providers to divulge IP addresses, the internet providers won't give them out either. Yonkerstribune.typepad.com already won a case like this that was brought by the head of the Independent Party in Westchester. BUT....he still had to file legal papers at his own personal great expense. And I can tell you for a fact that even private investigators cannot get IP addresses. And what happens if the IP address comes back to an internet cafe or a public library that does internet access with library cards??? Dr. Zuki Lawrence Hospital www.whatsmyipaddress.com

FYI: Back in the early 1980's or so, Yonkers had an agreement with the Greenville FD to cover any fires at the nursing home located on the corner of Jackson Avenue @ East Grassy Sprain Road, Greenburgh. Iit was written up in the newspaper along with mentioning that YFD Station 14 would also respond to the Fountainhead condos on Central Avenue @ the Greenburgh border. Not sure if this agreement still stands or not... Dr. Zuki Lawrence Hospital

P.S--The city is also forfeiting vehicles seized during dumping arrests and that is a damn good deterrent. I think they can also legally seize cars belonging to street whore customers, but not sure if they are doing so. YPD Rent a cop: Movie crews are also using them. Tons of guys were hired during the "Freedomland" riot scenes up at Mulford.

Good postings by both Chris and Toybuff 911, The newspaper also failed to mention in detail that much overtime comes from the private sector paying the city $68.00 per hour for rent a cops. Stop and Shop in Cross County has one assigned each and ever night. ToyBuff, How many cars and boats were seized via forfeiture/ seizure laws by YPD Narco? And were they auctioned off or being used for undercover purposes??? Thanks Dr. Zuki Lawrence Hospital

Heard that once YFD HQ is demolished for the Cappelli project, they are planning to temporarily locate into an industrial building off of nearby Elm Street. This issue was presented by YFD guys at a recent city council committee meeting and there are concerns regarding the length of time in the temporary location. Where exactly is this? There are industrial buildings around the corner on St. Casimirs. For their sake, don't even consider moving into the YPD HQ annex on St.Casimirs-it's an asbestos ridden rat hole. Would it be at all feasible to use some type of construction type trailers??? Dr. Zuki Lawrence Hospital

What's up with the proliferation of gravity knives ( sometimes known as CAT knives) being found on so many perps lately? I know they recently busted two gas stations in Yonkers on Central Ave in the 2nd Pct sectors for selling them. But they are still too common.... They seem to be much more common lately than back in my day. Supposedly back then, if the knife blade was longer then the width of your four fingers held together, it was illegal!!! Actually, I think that was a NYC code violation and the story traveled north to our county. An outdoorsmen friend told me that you can legally buy unassembled switchblades via mail from Soldier of Fortune type magazines and switchblades are actually LEGAL in some states, believe it or not. If a folding knife does not open with the flick of a wrist, like a switchblade, is it legal to posess if concealed.??? Thanks and Stay Safe. Dr. Zuki Lawrence Hospital

The Bronx location on Waters Place is an office complex located right next to the Hutch southbound below Pelham Pkwy. It used to be Bronx Psychiatric Center and now houses Mercy College and some other office tenants with two new medium height buildings being planned. Office jobs are long, long overdue in the Bronx, and with cheap rents, this project will fly. Dr. Zuki Lawrence Hospital

And don't forget these two jurisdictional messes: Electra Lane which borders Yonkers, Mount Vernon and the Bronx--all three jurisdictions will respond. Midland Avenue Scout Field @ the Bronxville line: It's county property, but borders in Yonkers, Mount Vernon and Bronxville. Dr. Zuki Lawrence Hospital

So again yesterday the Journal News reports the alleged gang summit consisting of 300 gang members and taking place weeks back at the vacant Glenwood power station. This story sounds quite exaggerated considering there may not even be a total of 300 gang members citywide. The other quoted number of 17 gang bangers sounds more credible. Can anybody give us the scoop please??? Many thanks Dr. Zuki Lawrence Hospital EMT BRAVO RULES

Well to clarify---when they say gang members, is this term used to just describe a bunch of friends or do they actually mean actual members similar to made members of the Mafia. Big difference.....any group of kids can be called "A Gang." Or better said, how many are estimated to be in the recognized gangs such as Latin Kings, Bloods, Crips, etc in Yonkers??? You also have some locals like the Arab Knight Possee, Hoover Road Boys, Party Harty Killers, Elliott Avenue Troopers, Mexican independents, etc. Many, many aspiring members out there. It's like comparing made mobsters with associates. The entire story still sounds exaggereated in numbers... Dr. Zuki Lawrence Hospital

Greenwich, CT had an ad in the Westchester newspapers about 2 weeks ago which means nobody up there wants the job. Not sure if they want an experienced person and if you have to move to CT after being appointed. Call or check their town and police/fire websites. Good Luck to you. Dr. Zuki Lawrence Hospital

A friend called 911 and was transported by Empress in Yonkers from the area of Midland Avenue @ Bronxville Road to nearby Lawrence Hospital for a charge of $400.00. Does Empress and the others have fees based on the mileage from your home to the hospital requested, similair to taxi cab zone charges???? Do volunteer ambulances charge either residents or non residents for emergency trips to local hospitals ? And what about the Town of Greenburgh PD ambulances? Statflight charges $4K for a trip to the County Medical Center??? Thanks. Dr. Zuki Lawrence Hospital

My home smoke detectors have reached their expiration dates and I want to buy new ones which are combo units with carbon monixide detection included. So what do you recommend? I once heard that you should get those which are both photoelectric with ionization. Your valued advice please !!!! Thanks Much. Dr. Zuki Lawrence Hospital

And the YPD and others in the USA have picked up some nice vehicles through drug seizure and forfeiture laws. Check out the next City of Yonkers auto auction for those vehicles being retired from police service.
