RIP, Doc, always helped me out.

Barry, Pelham and Pelham Manor have been doing more with nothing forever and if what you say is true, it won't be changing anytime soon.

According to article in journal news on 9/30, Chief Everett was demoted to Capt. and Salahuddin was made chief. Was Everett's permanent rank Deputy Chief?

Didn't see it on the cad system. Was a run made out for this?

Bigger city paid jobs have a chauffer school. Small combo jobs the guys are taught to drive from day one on the job. They continue to drive until they are qualified and then become chauffers. They still learn on the job. People need to realize we still have to obey the rules of the road. We just can't blow red lights and stop signs. This is where guys get into trouble.

unfortunately, in small combo depts the paid duty officer has to act as firefighter and officer. He helps stretch in and then has to go outside and act as the IC.
