10 of the new hires are off of a federal grant, the other 8 are to fill vacanies. One of the stipulations of the grant is that staffing levels must remain the same for the life of the grant, which is three years.

They wanted diesel trucks, there aren't any more diesel SUVs available.

It's a done deal. The switchover will be somewhere near the end of the year.

My guess for the 4 door set up is for the 'turnout gear' that is now mandatory to wear to some call types. There really isn't someplace to put it in the current buses.

All CVPIs are now FlexFuel

THe first two answers hit the nail on the head. I could care less if another emergecy vehicle had a blue light on it when it wasn't supposed to, discretion is one of the greatest things a police officer has. I can totally ignore certain laws if I wanted to. The blue light law is definitely one that I will be ignoring, at least in regards to other emergency vehicles.

I agree, I haven't seem CVPIs with the chrome strip on the back and cruise control.

That may actually be too much light, LOL.

Jesus Christ. Godspeed.

AMEN!

Hearing horrible news like this saddens me greatly on an otherwise nice day. My condolences to the loved ones of those lost. I hope that if any of the emergency workers working the scene need PTSD counseling, they receive it instead of bottling it up like we do so much of the time.

Makes business sense to me.

Godspeed Det. DiNardo.

The H2 uses the Tahoe frame and its V8, the H3, uses the Colorado/Canyon frame and its 5 cylinder engine.

My God, what the hell has happened to America? We're starting to live the late 80s-early 90s all over again. My prayers to my brothers in JCPD. I'm also hoping that all is well as I am about to start my tour again today.

The only thing thats missing is the lightbar, what is 'discreet' about this?

This is the US Senate, not the State Senate....

The reason I asked is because if you read his bio on Albany PD's website, it sounds as if he was appointed to the position. http://www.albanyny.org/Government/Departm...taff/chief.aspx

IS their 'chief' a civilian (Commissioner) position or is a UMOS position?

I was told by someone I know that Binghamton PD now has a marked Nissan Altima hybrid and that it is parked IFO the PD/FD HQ. Can someone PLEASE take a pic of it for me?

Thanks a ton!

Little confused here, the thread starter is pretty much asking someone to post an incident alert and you all are getting smarmy with him because he asked? Is this what is occurring or am I misreading this thread?

Thank you very much.

Cool, thanks.

I have an iPhone, iPhone's can't accept MMS.
