The newest patrol vehicle for BPD is this 2018 Ford Police Interceptor SUV. 
It replaces a 2011 Ford CVPI and has been assigned Car 267. 
 
 

Not trying to sound like a d**k, but either;
Remove the lights and get over it, leave them in and don't use them or become an officer in a VAC/FD that will allow you to use them. 
 
It's hard enough to get people to pull over for marked emergency vehicles (i.e. Police cars, fire apparatus, ambulances). 
 
I'm aware that other states allow the use of RLS. In some areas, I could see the benefits. However, in the metro NY area, not so much. 
 
I'm sure you spent lots of money on your lights and equipment. Perhaps you could sell them to try and recoup some of your money? 
 
Either way, best of luck to you and happy holidays. 

Just leave the state of NY...best thing i've ever done

join a hatzolah ambulance corps they run red lights 

You could volunteer as an EMT, but your corps would need to have the state certify your personal vehicle a a corps fly car. of become a Chief officer of an FD or Ambulance corps

Lots going on there in Chester!

The question about Echo responses is really up to the department. The thing about non traditional resources responding is really for paid departments that have a lot of staffed apparatus. This way if there was a CPR call across the street from a rescue company or Hazmat company they would respond along with the assigned box. 
 
I never got the BLS hot / ALS cold thing on the Charlie responses either, but that is thr model in the EMD training guides. Again it is probably designed for paid systems that have many more BLS units than ALS.  This way the closer BLS unit responds hot and assesses the patient and can make a decision on cancelling the ALS unit or upgrading them to an emergency response. 
 
Charlie level calls are most ALS calls that are not imminently life threading. (I.e.  Diabetics but conscious, Abdominal pain over age 35, Difficulty breathing but still alert and able to speak in full sentences; Stroke symptoms without airway compromise; Chest pain without altered mental status or severe diff. Breathing )

 

Maplewood Engine 32, from Maplewood FFs fb

It is a "temporary replacement" (company's words) for E-920, the 2008 Pierce Velocity, until the new one comes in.   Not sure what all is exactly on order, but they had a legal notice a while back regarding the sale of four engines as "surplus", plus they have the two tankers that are 21 years old now.   
 
New tanker is currently under construction - Pierce Contender to be built on a Peterbilt chassis - which, based on the colors listed on the instructions, I am guessing will go to the Sugar Loaf station.   

Actually it is a M1078..   the 2.5 ton variant.    If it had a 2nd rear axle, it would be a 5 ton, the M1083.

NYS OEM also has some M900 series ex military 5 tons.

There are a half dozen of these Stewart & Stevenson mil surplus trucks in the cache now for use as high axle vehicles. Photos on my website.

That’s cool did not know that  Thanks
