As a former employee of American Armored Car that owns American Gun & Uniform and the American Check Cashing all in Elmsford I can tell you that the company (all of it) has been sold. Lease is up? May be true but they are restructuring with the new management on all levels of the company. Armored Car, Check Cashing, and Uniform Shop. Since the store does sell Firearms I am sure the new people have some red tape to go thru with licenses, etc. They do want to re-open... When? Unknown....K

and... better seats at a Yankee Game! lol

xfirefighter484x, I think I am gonna race down the Taconic Parkway sometime tomorrow so I can see this sweet LED lightbar up close. Hopefully the Trooper will understand I was only doing a LED Lightbar study! LOL I am very happy to see the New York State Troopers getting the much needed new LED Lightbars, obviously a lot safer on the roadways when motorists can see you miles away. Red, Blue, Amber combo to the rear is great! New Lightbars will go great with the AMAZING Siren the Troopers have had for many years.

Federal Signal PA300 comes in 58/100/200 Watt Siren. Most common in the 100 Watt. I believe FDNY rigs (at least some of them) have 200 Watt units. I know this because a few years back while riding with FDNY Rescue 2 we went to the shop and they put a new siren in because the old one died. I know for a fact it was 200 Watts because I was like WOW! If you listen to FDNY rigs the pitch of the PA300 is slightly different than others and some do appear to be louder. I am a BIG fan of the PA300!

Chris192, I was involved in the initial demo of the units to WCPD with Motorola. The units you have are set up very much like a Radar Unit, they can be changed from Car to Car as needed. That was a special request made by WCPD. I believe the Remington units the State Police have are permanently affixed to the vehicle. (as seen in the photos)

Fleet Maintenance for Troop K is done at Troop K HQ SP Poughkeepsie. I think each SP Troop has it's own. I know they do work on Cars, Lights, Radios State Police also has local Authorized Repair Shops for Oil Changes, Autobody work, Etc. Vehicle problems that are still under warranty go to area Ford or Chevy dealers. I am sure some of our EMTBravo State Troopers can add to this or correct me if I am wrong.

NYSP Hotline MCI Drill FILE 1 - 88B2 ?? LOL!

Seth, They are Low Profile LED bars. Watch out, they will sneak right up on you! haha

This Pastor has guts!! Thought you might enjoy this, it’s very interesting. This is a Prayer given in Kansas at the opening session of their Senate. It seems Prayer still upsets some people. When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, Everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but this is what they heard: "Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem. We have abused power and called it politics. We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from Every sin and set us free. Amen!" The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked out during the prayer in protest. In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church, where Rev. Wright is pastor, logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls responding negatively. The church is now receiving international requests for copies of this prayer from India, Africa and Korea. Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, "The Rest of the Story," and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired. With the Lord's help! , may this prayer sweep over our nation and whole heartedly become our desire so that we again can be called "one nation Under God." If possible, please pass this prayer on to your friends. "If you don't stand for something, you will fall for everything."

New York State Police use the Remington Automatic License Plate Recognition a/k/a the "Bug Eyes" http://www.remingtonelsag.com/mobile-system.htm The information below is about the Motorola Automatic License Plate Recognition. They both do the same job. Automatic License Plate Recognition ALPR The Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) technology installed in police cars “reads” vehicle plates as they enter the view of a vehicle-mounted or roadside infrared camera, and checks them against a database for nearly instantaneous identification. The system runs continuously, automatically capturing images of license plates with a camera that works in nearly every lighting condition. Overview Enhance your officers’ safety and productivity while maximizing your department’s revenue with Motorola’s Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR). ALPR uses infrared cameras to automatically and continuously read vehicle license plates. It then checks the plates against an installed database for rapid identity verification. Your officers are free to focus on other police work knowing that they will be alerted only when a “hit” occurs. Automatic, Fast and Accurate Automatically locate and match vehicle plates against wanted lists Conduct surveillance in any environmental setting, under varying light conditions Provides 130 mph relative capture speed with 90% accuracy New Back Office System Server (BOSS) Software Database formatting including ability to customize PAGIS screens and alarms based on system “hits” Import of national and regional databases Ability to map all locations related to a single license plate to track movements Ability to cross reference perpetrator ID number (driver’s license, social security, etc.) with license plate database Wireless database updates with AirMobile Integration Update hot list database wirelessly with AirMobile over an 802.11 or MESH network No manual intervention is needed – when a vehicle drives into a hotspot the list is updated Benefits With Motorola’s Automatic License Plate Recognition, safety and productivity go hand in hand. While your officers are busy focusing on the demands of being in the field, ALPR is automatically checking license plates to alert them to potential felons, or other wants or warrants for various violations. Officers will know when to call for back up, and they are more easily able to identify parking scofflaws, stolen vehicles, license violations, etc. Increase Situational Awareness Officers are alerted if they are dealing with an armed felon They know when to call for back up When they approach a vehicle, officers know who and what to expect A Force Multiplier Automatically matches vehicle plates against wanted lists Facilitates Amber Alert and Be-On-The-Lookout tracking Identifies other wants and warrants Generate Additional Revenue Enables parking ticket enforcement Increases funds from collection of delinquent violations Helps recover money from drug interdiction Identifies stolen or wanted vehicles Details ALPR offers programming flexibility, reliability in varied conditions and situations, and the speed and accuracy that your officers demand in their daily work. ALPR boasts a 90% accuracy rate and 130 mph relative capture speed. In addition to NCIC databases, the ALPR database can be programmed to include state and local wants and warrants for various violations. Officers also can enter plate numbers into the system for Amber Alerts or other immediate alerts. ALPR allows officers to conduct surveillance even under varied lighting and weather conditions. ALPR uses ruggedized, infrared cameras that connect to leading-edge optical character recognition (OCR) technology software. AirMobile integration provides automatic wireless database updates over an 802.11 or MESH network. Back Office System Software (BOSS) enables formatting of the database with customized PAGIS screens and alarms based in system “hits.” National and regional databases can be imported through BOSS. BOSS facilitates cross-referencing of perpetrator’s ID numbers (driver’s license, social security number, etc) with the license plate database. BOSS also enables officers to map the location and track the movement of a single license plate. Results ALPR Technology Trial Nabs Wanted Suspects The Pennsylvania State Police recently tested the ALPR system, which was pivotal in an October arrest on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. During the first week of the test, a car was observed speeding on the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Chester County. While the trooper was pulling up behind the vehicle, its license plate was automatically “read’’ by the camera mounted on the cruiser and processed through a database installed in the trooper’s onboard computer. The ALPR system showed the vehicle as stolen, which alerted the trooper to call for backup before he even approached its occupants. The State Trooper then conducted a further check on the state database, which showed that the three occupants of the vehicle in question were wanted in connection with an earlier kidnapping and attempted murder case.

Eugene Malone Investigator James Cuffe 4 Dana Road, Valhalla, New York, 10595 (914) 231-1850 OUR MISSION The mission of the Arson Zone Plan remains the same as originally envisioned some 16 years ago, to provide local fire chiefs, upon request, with trained experts to assist in the determination of the cause and origin of suspicious fires. Naturally, by brining police and fire professionals trained in fire investigation together in teams, benefits would be realized in cause and origin matters, as well as the subsequent criminal investigations undertaken by local police departments. OUR GOAL The primary objectives of the Westchester County Cause and Origin Team include the following: 1. Establish and maintain a quality service to assist fire chiefs in the determination of cause and origin of suspicious fires throughout the county. 2. Establish and maintain standards for training and experience of police and fire professionals engaged as cause and origin team members. 3. Establish and maintain standardized call-out procedures and dispatches for cause and origin teams. 4. Establish and maintain standardized forms and report writing procedures for cause and origin teams. BACKGROUND The Westchester County Cause and Origin Team is composed of 30 fire investigators. These thirty, New York State Certified Fire Investigators are grouped into five teams of six investigators. The teams are assigned geographically so that we can provide these investigative services throughout the county. Our investigators are career and volunteer fire fighters or police officers. The Westchester County Cause and Origin Team Frequently works together with other agencies such as local police departments, the District Attorney’s Office, Medical Examiner’s Office, Department of Labs and Research-Forensic Lab, Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, to name a few. The investigators are supervised by two area Deputy Fire Coordinators who are responsible for the provision and the coordination of fire investigation services on scene, securing and coordinating additional resources to assist in the work of the cause and origin teams, interagency relationships, education programs to emergency services and other groups, coordination among the teams, recruitment of team members and other functions as assigned by the Commissioner of the Department of Emergency Services to support the efforts of this program.

If a MOBILE CANTEEN TRUCK has RED LIGHTS and SIREN I think some Con Ed vehicles should. Electrical and Gas problems are often a REAL EMERGENCY. Maybe a Vehicle like this and or Supervisors. How often do we need a rush on Con Ed? A LOT! What is more important having leaking Gas shut down or a cup of Coffee? Think of all the political "hook up's" with RED LIGHTS.

HAHA!
