  1. FYI.... The Yorktown Heights holiday lights parade has been moved to Sunday due to tomorrows weather. Parade starts at 6:30
  2. Love this! I think this a awesome idea that should have been done a long time ago. Wish i had it when i was in school.
  3. So when local departments get taken over by County PD, what happens to the Town officers? Did the work under their exisitng contract? Do they work for the County? What uniforms do they wear? Do they use same patrol cars and markings?
  4. Thats an interesting thought. If the Lohud or Snooze12 did a story it might stir up some controversy. Unfortunately it will probably take some high profile tragic incident for that to happen and maybe get politicians involved.
  5. I agree with you Seth. I hear the same thing all the time with calls not being covered and I find it very scary the response times for many agencies. Something needs to be changed but as we all know, change is hard if not impossible in these parts.
  6. Whats the story behind the Mack? Is it being restored?
  7. Response time being whatever it is, shouldn't at least one squad be positioned closer to Northern Westchester for a quicker response? It might take an hour for Squad 4 to assemble and respond to a incident in Yorktown or Peekskill? Unless Putnam County has a similar system?
  8. My nephew just took the trooper exam today. Does anyone know how long it takes to get the results?
  9. Thanks for the response.
  10. Wonder what car ID's they'll use on dispatch? Tuckahoe car numbers or will the County assign different unit designators?
  11. Very interesting article. Any thoughts from those on the job? http://car-advice-for-you.blogspot.com/2013/03/chevrolet-caprice-ppv-chance-in.html
  12. Found at Bear Mountain this week.

  14. Very nice. Love to see more if you have them.
  15. Love this show!!! I'm surprised you just discovered it Seth?!!!!
  16. also a question of where? I believe County runs Kensico Dam specifically
  17. Do you have freqs for Mohegan VAC and FD? Also Yorktown PD and Yorktown VAC? Those are the main ones obviously. Yorktown DPW on 45.200 but only hear activity in winter mostly.
  18. Is White Plains PD using digital encryption full time now? Hearing only "interference" on their frequency.
  19. Happy Anniversary and keep up the good work Seth and your dedicated staff
  20. I'm no expert but it seems to be the biggest issue with Narrowbanding is the reduction in audio,especially with high band frequencies. My Uniden BCT 15 has a volume offset control which allows me to raise or lower a particular frequency audio according to how loud or low it is. This seems to help a lot especially with The County police and Yorktown PD as well. I don't know what other radios have this feature though.
  21. Now that's something you don't see everyday! Great pic! Thanks.
  22. Wow! Who knew Lord Vader and the Imperial Forces were going to be there! Hope Luke and Yoda weren't far behind
