TBTA did not merge bc they do not have Police Officer status , only peace officer status. Plus there were issues with seniority and training.

TBTA- first they changed their patch to say NEW YORK STATE. Now they have cars that look like NYSP?? Multiple failed attempts to get them police officer status so they want it to say NYS all over their patches and cars in an attempt to get more credibility.

ever so closer to the nypd scheme. all joking aside, there are a lot of good cops that started with DEP.

Does anyone know if there will be a fleet demo day in Westchester this year?

Sheriffs Office in Westchester handes the civil matters. They also have a part-time unit of deputies who assist county and local PD with additional manpower. Sheriff role was merged with Commissioner through a legal change. Other counties kept the 2 roles separate. Putnam could end up like Nassau County with the Sheriff handling only civil and jail. PD handles LE functions.

I believe this is a false statement. These specialized services are available to any dept in the County that requests it.

they utilize Peace Officers so they are within their right to have marked vehicles like this. albeit a better design could've been used.

Miniatur Wunderland. Those guys are talented. Two brothers founded the exhibit and it cost several million to construct the models and facility. Their latest venture is a model airport. Simply amazing. If you make it to Hamburg, Germany you definitely want to visit it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qz4NcTnQedo

several agencies in the city use "POLICE" in the same colors and font so NYPD was added to identify them as referenced in the story above.

im surprised bronxville, which has no jurisdiction, would handle this. my guess and i could be totally off here is the fear of the town taking over if any power was yielded to them.

Yonkers has some great grant writers. Kuddos

if YFD is going to lose several fire companies bc Empress expands the 1st responder program, then I think there is a bigger problem. I'm pretty sure the fire companies exist for fire reasons and not medical reasons.

they could've just said private ambulance service.

Found this in the Campus Fire Safety file on their website. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...Mayor Spano’s proposed cuts to the Yonkers Fire Department. As someone who would be directly impacted by these cuts we humbly ask that you call Mayor Spano and City Hall and voice your concern about keeping the YPD properly staffed.

black isnt bad either. it goes well with the gray uniforms so its not totally out of whack. cost savings add up when you count how many cars they have. plus the current decals will work on black as well.

horrible. tough times for NCPD.

i think all black with blue/yellow graphics would've been nice.

Not sure if this is a repeat but it looks like NYSP decaled some Caprices: dont see plates or numbers so i'm not sure if its a test car. Photo Credit: http://policecarwebs.../ny/nysp225.jpg

Tragic update: http://www.lohud.com/article/20120501/NEWS04/305010088/Larchmont-police-captain-wife-2-daughters-die-Carmel-house-fire-son-hospitalized?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|Frontpage

NYS CPL Section 2 sub-section 59 59. Officers and members of the sanitation police of the department of sanitation of the city of New York, duly appointed and designated as peace officers by such department; provided, however, that nothing in this subdivision shall be deemed to authorize such officer to carry, possess, repair or dispose of a firearm unless the appropriate license therefor has been issued pursuant to section 400.00 of the penal law. Provided, further, that nothing in this subdivision shall be deemed to apply to officers and members of the sanitation police regularly and exclusively assigned to enforcement of such city's residential recycling laws.

dont believe they are armed but do have Peace Officer powers under the CPL. they are not part of Yonkers PD. employed solely by the Raceway. there's been ongoing arguments about using the term "Police" on their patch, similar to the arguments regarding NYC Homeless Police, Hospital Police, Sanitiation Police etc. dont think its going anywhere and I dont think the regulars frankly care enough to make a big stink about it.

yeah its not news12. patrol cars everywhere.

anyone have any idea whats going on in North Cortlandt (Route 6/Putnam border)? Unidentified (possibly state and pretty sure its not county) helicopter has been circling for the last hour or so.
