INIT915, maybe in your Troop or Zone thats the case, but where in mine we all get bounced around like ping pong balls due to manpower and other issues. I'd love a steady work schedule. Be safe!
-
The schedule rotates from days to nights, the NYSP does not have a designated or permanent shift policy and all members are required to work days and nights.

Actually Johnstown, NY is in Fulton County, not Montgomery County which is to the south. I thought that old Grumman in Margetville looked familiar.

An article by Retired NYSP EVOC Instructor Robert J. Faugh that Cites the Studies I am still looking for that show slicktop vehicles and vehicles with less lights are safer (when stopped).

I will find the study I am looking for and post it when I do. Less is more when stopped. Be seen, be safe.
I would agree that less is more when you are stopped. In the NYSP we have a low power option on our LED light bars or we just use the wig wag option or the rear deck arrow stick. But I work a complaint station and being seen is key when responding to a call and I don't see that happening with an old gumball. But then again maybe Michigan SP does only highway patrol so it may suffice there. But I know that now it is hard to make people see me and that is which a modern light bar and siren combination.

I am a trooper though I work in western nys and don't do much interstate work. But I will say this, more often than not it is the individuals trooper's ego or attitute that causes these sorts of problems. I for one have never argued with a fire service or IC about opening a road back up. I would gladly have the road remain closed until it is safe to re-open. Not to mention I am incredibly appreciative of the rigs and manpower provided by the FD to handle traffic control and scene safety. I have never had a problem with any FD and I have been to thousands of incidents. I guess all I am saying is don't let a few bad apples spoil the bunch because we are not all like this hothead.

This is costing tax payers a fortune and leaving Upstate NY short on Troopers. Stations are struggling to meet staffing levels and are paying overtime consistently to cover the shifts or Troopers that are patrolling NYC.
