It's amazing the lengths this family is going in this case. The lawyer is even more amazing though, I really wonder if he's coming up with what he's saying or having some pre-law freshman write his press releases for him. "the officers could have served the warrants the next day but created danger when they rushed inside (the apartment)", Really? what are they doing, playing tag, "Home Base!, you can't get me, na nana nana na". Also, he was on PCP at the time of the shooting, but he'd taken it before, so it was hard to tell if the level of PCP in his system was significant? So PCPs like alcohol now? You just need to be able to handle your PCP and you're good? And then to say it doesn't matter if he was on PCP, it just matters if he acted aggressively? Well, I'd say lunging at police officers with a knife is acting aggressively, but, that's just me. Hopefully the Grand Jury finds the shooting justified next week, and these 4 officers can go on with their lives, at least until the civil suit we all know is coming gets filed. http://www.recordonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20120616/NEWS/206160331

I was wondering what your opinions were on the currently proposed renumbering plan is. I'm not familiar with fire department standards, but I was surprised to see such a specific list of required equipment for each type of apparatus. It also surprised me to see almost all apparatus would be required to carry ems equipment, including oral airways, nasal airways, and O2, which I always thought required a minimum certification of EMT-B in NY, since a large chunk of departments in the county don't run medical calls or have EMTs. Is this an attempt to get more departments to run medical calls to counter the dwindling response from volunteer ems? Apparatus Numbering and Radio Identifier Plan Fire and Rescue Services Standards

On the NYPD psych exam, what do they ask about previous psychological history, mainly seeking professional help? Is it through out your entire life, within a certain time period? Also, is it true that if you answer yes to having seen a psychiatrist, you're pretty much screwed in terms of getting hired? I've been hearing a lot about this exam lately and between what I'm hearing about the psych test as well as some of the things I hear about the NYPD in general such as the new "officers can't wear anything with the NYPD logo off duty" policy is starting to turn me off a little bit to taking the NYPD exam, which has basically been my first choice department since I decided I wanted to be a cop.

I understand that, but there are departments do not do run medicals at all, ever. My local department runs three engines, a ladder, a rescue, a brush truck, a tanker, and a utility that would not fit into any category based on the current proposed system, and possibly has 10 emts at the maximum out of approximately 150 members. Each one of these kits would cost approximately $450, so how would you justify to the tax payers spending $3,150 on equipment for "just in case" that only 10 members can use and to certify more people to use it would cost $750 a person and take 6 months, and even then they could fail. I'm not saying that there shouldn't be any medical equipment on a rig, but I would think that a cpr mask would be more cost effective if the entire department can use it rather than just 10 people.

New York already does require a minimum of 1 EMT on an ambulance, including volunteer corps, and does do inspections of all ambulances statewide. All agencies that are New York State certified are held to state standards no matter if they are career or volunteer.

The last time I was on their website they actually had the unit type of that rig listed as TAC, so I'm gonna go with yes.

I've been looking into doing the same since I already have my NY certificate and live only a few miles from NJ and have not heard anything about a change in the NJ curriculum. Currently, NJ uses the National curriculum, which NY actually does a slightly more advanced course, including a full cpr course within the class. The date on your NY card won't matter, you'll be subject to the NJ curriculum that's in place when you apply for reciprocity. If they do lengthen the course to 250 hours in NJ, they'll likely make you go to the classes in their EMT course that cover whatever material they add to the course, but I think it's highly unlikely that they would make you go through their entire EMT course if you have an NY certificate.

Yonkers ESU is the same as NYPD ESU. They do rescue work and tactical operations.

Last I heard, In Orange County it was $12 an hour for EMTs and $19 an hour for medics, so I would assume somewhere around there.

For some reason, they still operate on Orange County radio systems as regional too. I've seen them show up in a care 1 rig, with one crew member wearing a regional ems uniform and one member wearing a HVP uniform.

I'm pretty sure that it's illegal to intercept encrypted transmissions.

Under the current NYS protocol, you can refresh at what ever the highest certification you had was no matter how long you've been expired.
