    Mutual aid radio system. Each PD is assigned a station number and that's how they identify themselves on the hotline. It's like one big intercom. the f3 is relatively new within the last 7-8 years. Designed to have a interoperability. at a scene all jobs can switch to it and communicate with each other

    It's used to transmit information such as BOLO's (Be on the lookout), missing persons, pursuits that are traveling through different jurisdictions, and other information that needs to be rapidly disseminated and shared throughout Westchester County's numerous PD agencies.

    Firematic told me they're 15 months from contract signing to pre-construction right now and stopped taking orders for 2022 at one point. We're expecting delivery in May/June but like you mentioned, that could changed. They're having supply chain issues due to having to import the raw material that is used in making axles. They used to make them in the US but I was told that due to the emissions deal in the US, they were forced to have to import.

    Our Aerialscope is currently projected to take 500 days from when we signed the contract because of the supply chain issues. Our Pierce engine however was only delayed a few months and as of now we are expecting delivery in late April/early May but that could change. Total time for the Pierce is approximately 14 months without anymore delays. Not sure if that is now the case though if a contract were to be signed today, it may take longer. With the current supply chain issues the entire industry is facing delays.
