Wow, what a thread. Obviously what this kid did was morally reprehensible and illegal. Clearly Sleepy Hollow needs to better restrict who has access to the building and the keys. I would like to know what possesed him to go and steal the vehicle in the first place. Something else that is morally reprehensible and should be illegal is how far some fire/ems vehicles end up out of their response district. Yes, I know that there are various meetings and training events that may be some distance away, but sporting events, beach trips and so on? But while reading this thread, several comments jump out at me. Why anyone would admit that they have driven a car while impared on a public website? Another one was someone saying they had recorded conversations about this kid involved and another person. Brilliant. And what about everyone gushing with care and concern about how he is sick and needs help and it's not his fault? If you can't control yourself when you drink, DON'T!

Another great looking truck from SWS!

Right, I forgot that Bush and Cheney created the hurricane. If John Kerry would have been the president, he would have rode on down the Mississippi on a swift boat to save the people. With Fat Ted right behind him to look for anyone who may be in the water, since we know how much expierence he has rescuing people who have somehow fallen into the water. Remember that FEMA was not, and is not, supposed to be responsbile for evacuating people who are in the path of a hurricane. That is the responsiblity of the state and really the local government. In this case, both the the state and the city were run by incompetent and corrupt idiots. Chocolate City Ray should have had a plan ready to evacuate the city. But yes, Bush was 100% correct to declare a state of emergency. While I'm not sure I agree with the money coming from the FEMA budget, the federal government does maintain authority over DC. So yes, it is the right thing to do.

First of all, I don't have an investigator yet. I haven't decided if I want to do NYPD in July or wait and see how I did on the Westchester County exam. But while looking through the APD-5 booklet, at section VII, question 21, they ask about license record, and all summonses that I received. I have received three. One was for speeding, and was reduced to Failure to Obey. That was 2005. I got another speeding ticket in 2007, but that was dismissed. There was also an illegal u-turn ticket that was just reduced to an 1101. My question is, do I still have to list the one that was dismissed and the other which was reduced to a non-moving violation? Thank you.

I believe the money goes into the court fund, which goes to the municipality. Not sure, however, what happens in Rye and Pelham town courts. Anyone know how it works with the TVBs?

Greenville is one of the three fire districts in the unincorporated town of Greenburgh, with Hartsdale and Fairview being the others.

All that needs is a Roto-Ray and chevrons on the back.

let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! I hope this one isn't another letdown.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I thought that Ladder 2, the stick, was OOS.

Hudson, Is TL-1 the Mack or the Seagrave?

Not if it's ice.

Like Chris192 said, there are three sides to this story (and every other similar one). It would be nice to know the entire story and then comment. But this is EMTBravo......

I'm glad to hear Yonkers helping FDMV out. You can't possbily be serious with this, can you? Because we.......wow. This beats your posts on "regionalization" (which I actually support) by miles.

When I went to sign up for the Police Officer exam, I parked in that garage right at City Hall......some of the offical vehicles in there were older then I am (23). Plus the decrpit looking police cars so covered in dirt and dust on the bottom floor was scary.

I had noticed the Explorer a while ago, very sharp. Looks similar to the Port Authority scheme. Thanks for sharing the pics and info. Will they still have Crown Vic's or will they be getting different cars?

Very nice looking van! Looks clean and very functional. One question, why blank out the plate numbers?

No, I don't believe that my interpetation of this speech is the only correct one. Do you believe that *your* interpetation of the speech is the only correct one? All he said was "civilian domestic security force." I don't know what that means. History gives one possible interpetation. My research into that (yes, I said research) didn't turn much up. I don't know if his plans to increase the size of various citizen service corps that you listed above. I hope he does, I think it would be excellent. But only he can clarify what he meant. And I've always been part of the problem....

ok that's great but...... The media didn't make this up. Obama actually said it. I did my research on the canidate and I found the clip of him saying it on youtube. But I guess that makes me ignorant.

I'm not ignorant, I'm scared. This came from the Messiah's own teachings back in July. I'm not making this up. And until the Messiah clarifies these teachings, there is no way to know what he means. Homeland Secuity is to protect the country from terrorists. Having done my homework, other countries have had "security forces." Some of those fine nations inclue East Germany, Nazi Germany, and The Soviet Union. .........Hmmmmm........

Before the Village of Rye Brook was incorporated, did Rye Town have its own police/fire/DPW?

Some towns have a full-time supervisor (Eastchester), while others have town administrators (Mamaroneck). Villages are generally run by village managers. Some cities have full-time mayors (White Plains), while others have city managers (New Rochelle).

There are no population requirements for a town, village, city or even a county. As for criteria for what is a town, village, or city, it depends how that municiplaity was incorporated. A hamlet is essentially just a a census designated place, again with no population size requirement. The way the town, villages, cities and counties are supposed to be run in contained within NYS law.

It comes down to the Good ol' boys. They did it back in 1776, and hopefully they are ready to defend us again now. We'll need the Second Amendment to protect us from tyranny.

While I may or may not agree with you, the Second Amendment is still in the Constitution, and until it's changed, the government still has to uphold it. So therefore a ban on assult rifles, or a city (or district) banning handguns is unconstitutional. And the Supreme Court has held that the Second Amendment does apply to individual citizens, not just the militias.
