All fire and police vehicles (not sure about NYC and Buffalo) have official plates assigned, however they are not required to display them. 
I remember the fleet manager having boxes of plates in a store room and going crazy when the vehicles were being disposed of.
I believe that one of the fire departments had official plates on the deputy chief's suburban but removed them when they started getting bills for running the ezPass lanes when on thruway calls.   

 
 
From what I've heard, once NY allows all EMTs to draw epi from a vial, the cost will drop dramatically for agencys that go that route. However you run into the problem of agencies that have volunteers and/or staff that work one or two shifts a month and then have a regular job in some office the rest of the time. Half of them don't know how to use an epi pen, and now we're going to train them in an advanced procedure, and expect them to do it the first time five years later in a life threatening situation? I know in my one agency, half the volunteers don't know how to use the nasal narcan, meanwhile we've had it for how many years now, it's super simple to use, and I feel like I'm using it at least once a week at this point.

Currently the department of health is doing a pilot program that allows EMTs to draw up epi from a vial. Hopefully it will be common place soon, as I think it's ridiculous that an epipen could cost $100s. Unless I'm missing something, I wouldn't think anything in the epipen, including the drug, come close to equaling the cost, especially for something you have to replace each year.

So maybe I'm missing something, but why is this vehicle such a big secret? No specs, only one interior shot. Lenco has the medcat, and I'm sure the military has similar vehicles. Plus, there's a reason most EMS agencies have "MEDIC" all over there tactical gear.

I think that's probably the village of Colonie. The Town of Colonie had a population of 81,951 in 2010

According to what I found old news paper articles, I believe the station was owned by the fire company/department, and then the fire district was paying rent to store equipment and whatever else there, which was a source of contention between the two

I think the brush truck/mini-pumper is over at the ambulance bay in the spare bay. Supposedly the new FD is building a fire house next to the ambulance bay, and the apparatus is being kept in the fenced in area until the fire house is built

I have heard rumors that there's a new fire department in Greenville and they were given all of Greenville's apparatus and equipment

Town of Warwick PD has had a motorcycle unit for quite a while now and it seems to work well for them. They have three motorcycles and as soon as the weather is nice enough, they usually have one or two guys a shift on the cycles. It's not a full time unit, so anyone in the department can go to their motorcycle school, they do their own, and I've seen all ranks riding the motorcycles, including the chief.

Does anyone know the frequency(ies) that State Police aviation operates on? I thought I remembered that they had their own set of frequencies, but I can't anything

Nope, In NY, a fly car fits into the category of emergency ambulance service vehicle, which is any vehicle that is not a transporting ambulance that's used by an agency other than an aircraft or boat. This is either accomplished by meeting the minimum equipment requirements for an emergency ambulance service vehicle, which is less stringent than an ambulance, or you can obtain a waiver from DOH to exempt it from requirements as long as you show how the vehicle will be used within the agency. So if you meet the ambulance requirements, you should be more than good to use it as a fly car
 
 
I don't know why leaving an ambulance somewhere would seem to be an issue. As long as it's locked up and everything, and usually if the medic's on another ambulance, all the drugs and stuff are with him. As for having a someone from a different agency alone in the back of your ambulance, NY does not care. The only thing NY cares about is that the person providing patient care is an NY certified EMT/paramedic, not what agency they're from, who's driving, etc.

I've seen it done all the time. Why wouldn't they be able to? 

After doing a little research the phones are being made by a company that licenses the caterpillar brand. And i don't think it's that weird. If the phones do well, the next thing will be the caterpillar laptop that's their version of the toughbook, and before you know it everything on a construction site will be made by caterpillar and they'll be rolling in the profits
