NEW YORK STATE POLICE 201st Graduating Session Ten residents from the Lower Hudson Valley were among the 168 troopers who graduated Thursday from the 201st class of the New York State Police Academy. The ceremony was held at the Empire State Plaza in Albany. The local residents will serve New York as troopers from several locations, police said. Working out of Troop C in Sidney will be Jean B. Cime of Hartsdale, Peter J. Figiel of Peekskill, Katherine M. Gorey of Somers, Lance Saraceno of Bardonia, Kelechi A. Uba of New Rochelle and Jason E. Ritacco of Waccabuc. Among the new troopers at Troop E in Canadaiqua will be Charles A. Williams of Yonkers. Trooper Martin R. Smith of Haverstraw is among 26 graduates joining Troop F in Middletown while the Poughkeepsie-based Troop K will get eight new troopers including Joseph L. Morrissey of Patterson and Jonathan Sanchez of White Plains. The class also included Jason Zhang of Poughkeepsie, who had waited five years at a chance to be state trooper. He fell one sit-up short in January 2013, but got a second chance last January – and passed. He will be assigned to Troop C in Sidney.

Miami Cop in Trouble after Pulling Over Speeding Driver, who Turns out to be Internal Affairs Lieutenant A Miami police officer pulled a car over for speeding last month, which turned out to be a plainclothes internal affairs lieutenant who shoved the door open on the officer after refusing to provide his drivers license, leading to a struggle on the side of the road that was caught on camera. As the two were on the ground wresting, another three Miami cops who just happened to be in the area pulled up and piled on the screaming driver– only to pull off when they realized the man at the bottom was an internal affairs lieutenant from their own department.

Billy, I own the 1974 Mack CF. It was refurbished in 1999. (Cab enclosed and lighting upgrades) Ex-Cecil Fire Dept in Monroe Township, NJ Engine 2951 then Reserve 2959. Enjoy showing it off in Parades, Car Shows. making some kids smile at Birthday Parties. It was featured in the movie Non-Stop. Any more questions just message me. Happy to answer.

FDNY is very happy with the new KME's This is direct from a close friend who is a FDNY mechanic with 26 years on the job.
