This Trooper was also a volunteer firefighter.

Rest in peace, Trooper Todeschini

Godspeed.

Yes, but there still has to be a prosceutor. And who is offering the plea if the Troopers no longer are???

Having never been in the situation, all these reductions from the troopers come on the day the ticket is due back or does the motorist plead not guilty and then before the trial the ticket is reduced?

←

The prosecutor is in court and getting paid one way or the other, whether he is working V&T that day or a Penal Law violation.

As for the reduction in the summons, some places have a prosecutor that offers the reduced deal via mail before the trial date. Some places wait until immediately before trial, where the officer after looking at your driving history will offer you aa reduced charge. It is up to the judge to decide if he is willing to accept the reduced charge.

If there is no People's side, all the tickets are dismissed. So someone has to act as the prosecutor. And if I plead not guilty and get a trial, the trooper is supposed to appear anyway. So where is the cost savings?  The trooper becomes a witness, instead of the prosecutor. But then that is still overtime. It will become another unfunded mandate from Albany to hire Deputy Town & Village Attorneys.

←

Simple, if you decide to not take the plea, they will schedule the actual trial where the trooper will appear.

From Monday to Saturday, 4 to Midnight, the Troopers in uniform, patrol South Central Mount Vernon in their own cars with a Mount Vernon PD partner. They patrol around looking for Quality of Life offenses, wanted individuals and motor vehicles with either suspended registrations, Registered Owners wanted on warrants or 'File One' vehicles. It's Called TRACI, a part of the NYSP's Operation Impact.

OLM will stay OLM the board of directors (BOD's) have "merged" their will be no shared services, all 3 hospitals will still on their own. The BOD's will act as a financial governing body. As for the ambulances OLM just ordered a brand new Type I, in blue,  it will say OUR LADY OF MERCY MEDICAL CENTER and somwhere MEMBER OF THE MONTIFORE HEALTH SYSTEM. OLM will recive one new bus ever 6 months. (as aproved by the new BOD's).

←

About time, those buses are ancient.

Not much can be done to get rid of one or the other, there are not enough OLM EMS people to run Monte and Einstein's operations, and since the Monte/Einstein operation is non-union and the OLM operation is union, Monte can't simply take over OLM...

To tell you the truth, I think that EMS is pretty low on the priority list for Spencer Foreman.

Carrying a EMT off duty is not a big deal, whether he had it in the federal courthouse or not. The issue is that we are obviously missing part of the story here. Being charged with Forgery 2 and CPFI(both felonies, IIRC) isn't something a cop, any cop will lightly charge an EMS provider with. I await the entire story before passing judgement.

There are marked CTSP cars, they tend to exist closer to Hartford.

If you call from a cell phone, its picked up the state troopers, then transferred to where they think the guy is calling from, which usually is right, but from time to time is wrong.

There are several FDNY Brush Units stationed around the city.  If you take a look at FDNY Trucks you can see some of them, there are also some on my site.

Governers Island has one

BFU 1 @ E164

BFU 2 @ E166

BFU 3 @ E156

BFU 4 @ E154

BFU 5 @ E161

BFU 6 @ E321

BFU 7 @ E266

BFU 8 @ E97

As far as the Vollys responding, the Queens job was in there area.

Are you sure about the BFU at E97? I think they have the Thawing Unit there, but I don't remember ever seeing a BFU there.

Thanks JBE.

So basically then the computer system keeps track of all the calls and what priority they are for dispatching? Becuase I have heard Central saying "holding x calls in the xx"

←

The computer system, SPRINT, sends the calls for the division concerned (usually 2-3 precincts are on a division) to the indiviual dispatchers, including all Citywide notifications. It's up to the dispatcher to assign the calls to the sector/s concerned. Yes, they go into 'alert' (holding calls) often, but a 'backlog' (more than 5 jobs holding) doen't happen too often because the dispatcher has the ability to assign up to 5 low priority jobs to each sector.

They really have not publicized this option enough.

Good that the perp was dead, but its a BIG no-no to bring your firearm a bar when you are drinking. Hopefully he doesn't get burned for that.

Greenwich doesn't carry ANY shotguns?

Forget the crime factor for a sec-- what do they do when they have an injured deer?

←

Call for ESU?

What a horrible thing to hear, especially on Christmas.

My condolences to their loved ones.

Yes to all.

Is anyone sure that Aviation is still active? I haven't seen them on the road at all for years. Also, the engine that is next to the 43 Pct. is E96.

Does Lifeline still have the agreement with OLM to do the private transports (not 911 - OLM EMS does that)?

←

Yes.
