  1. Who cares what we think! We absolutely can come to a compromise, but the governor wants to do it his way or no way.
  2. Good news! Thanks for the info
  3. Woof! Alright then...
  4. I do understand that much, but I meant are only Dutchess Residents are eligible to take the test?
  5. Residency is Dutchess Resident's only, correct?
  6. We are not talking about MNRR, or LIRR, but the NYC subway. There also is no cow catcher on subway cars. But, the platform creates a ledge(by law) that you can fit into if you are small enough...
  7. What a site this has turned in to! Glad to be a part of it!
  8. They have released the name of the murderer. He was a convicted murderer who previously served 17 years in prison. Released from parole officer visits in 2006. I blame the parole board.....
  9. http://www.lohud.com...agerestricted=1 Time for the C word to come out??? This is not a surprise to us that duplication is rampant in Westchester, but hopefully some reporting(if you can call it that) may bring this to the public.
  10. 201/65, What is the hiring outlook with the test? Are there currently open spots, people slated to retire, etc...
  11. None. As far as I know, and from experience, only medics carry monitors.
  12. I truely wonder how the people of Newburgh will spin this story to make it the PD's fault. Because we all know they will.....
  13. Everyone in my company rides in the back, the front is the office of my partner and I. Our personal stuff is up there, and some of the people that ride with us, no way they are going up there. Patients and family members in the back, seatbelt buckled before we shift to drive.
  14. I bet you he knows what a cop car looks like....
  15. Must have been one hell of a stuggle! Good for the two PO's. Best wishes to the injured officer.
  16. Good on you PO. You should be proud.
  17. I guess I spoke too soon, and didn't have a clear statement when I replied.
  18. So are we going to have a turnover of administration every time a disaster hits? I will absolutely say that it was ill-prepared, but is that a reason to get ANOTHER new ems chief?
  19. ' An excert from the alert from the National Weather Service. Pretty much sums it up. An absolutely terrible situation, but they only have themselves to blame.
  20. From Lohud: http://www.lohud.com/article/20121112/NEWS/311120083/Off-duty-Peekskill-officer-killed-upstate-crash Rest in Peace Officer.
  21. We all got sick of bitching about career versus volunteer departments
  22. Great job to the family on the save. Glad everyone was safe.
  23. Do you also think this about the new 4-door FDNY EMS Dodge's??? They are a godsend to the crews using them.
