I know from satellite photos I have seen an old FDNY Seagrave parked outside the hanger.

Massachusetts State Police is testing the new Explorer and Taurus already. Been seeing a lot of departments in the MidWest and South getting them.

There was a 60 Minutes episode a while back interviewing Raymond Kelly about the capabilities of the NYPD. They showed a Marine unit that had the detector and it was set off by a passing boater who just had KEMO.

Urban Renewal!

Oh, eight years old, I thought it was an 06 Ferrara as most pictures I have seen says it. A HAZMAT truck is totally a complex and advanced apparatus, I just called it a rescue because I would thought most people would compare it to one, lol. It is kinda the oddball look compared to all the new rescues with a different cab. Thanks for the reply.

I see HAZMAT Company 1 is getting a new rescue from Ferrara. I was wondering about the life expectancy for apparatus in NYC as I thought 10 years was it. I know that the old rescue was a 2006 Ferrara so I'm just wondering if it was due for replacement or they had something wrong with it?

Because there is nothing hybrid or more fuel efficient out there that is designed to be a police vehicle. Yes the NYPD uses Altimas, Volts, Fusions, and Priuses but patrolling in NYC is more different then other places and they have the money to buy them. Not to mention all the support is needed for those vehicles like maintenance, where you're going to fuel it, etc. Stick with the police packages.

NYC is NYC. It isn't Newburgh, or any of the other small violent cities up here, with limited manpower and resources. I think the people who work for and make decisions for these departments have researched, and decided what works best. Without knowing where you work, or what you do for a living, I would still bet they know what works better than you do. Maybe my fire department could get by with a couple mini-vans and step ladders and portable pumps. That would be alot cheaper and get better mileage than our aerials and pumpers, but would they work as well? Sometimes efficiency and safety outweigh fuel economy. While I don't know much about the way the PD operates, I trust that they are making the right decisions when it comes to spending money to keep their officers and the rest of us safe in this city.

Maybe you should take the test to be the next police chief......you seem to know what's best for this city

Altimas and Fusions are not police rated. NYPD has a lot of problems with the Altimas, they are way to small, to the point that a few holsters have been broken. Forget about putting any equipment in the back of an Altima, the battery takes up most of the trunk. Also very few of the NYPD cars have radios or computers mounted in them. When the NYPD first started getting the Impalas we had trouble fitting our required equipment into one of those
You have can have all the "better" guns you want, but you will still only be able to use them in a narrow set of circumstances.Just look at the news to see all the outrage when a police officer is involved in a justified shooting.
