Four new dispatchers, 649-652, started a little over a month ago.

That is correct. NYSP Troop "F" Haverstraw covers the PIP in NYS.

The*** has great legislative news for our members - the Senate and the Assembly have passed the “blue light bill.” The bill was sponsored by Sen. Nick Spano and Assemblywoman Joan Christensen. We are thankful that members of the New York State Legislature recognized the value of this bill, passed it and agreed to send it to the Governor, who will decide whether the bill is signed into law. This bill would authorize police vehicles to display blue lights; a combination of blue and red lights; or a combination of blue, red and/or white lights. The blue light or lights would have to project toward the rear of the police vehicle, and such lights could be displayed when the vehicle is engaged in an emergency operation. The *** has been pursuing this legislation since the horrific death of one of our own members, ***, in December 2002. *** was completing an accident investigation in a Ford Crown Victoria parked along the shoulder of the *** when an uninvolved sport utility vehicle crashed into the rear of the patrol car. The patrol car burst into flames.Since then, the *** has been working to educate members of the New York State Legislature about studies that have shown that blue lights attract the attention of drivers better than any other color. In this way, blue lights, in combination with the current emergency light configurations, would further enhance the safety of *** and all law enforcement officers.

The motorist mails in the ticket (or if a Misd, appears in person) by the date on the bottom of the UTT, pleading guilty or not. Then, if pleading not guilty, depending on how backed up the Court is (up to 2-3 years in some Courts), you receive a Court date and have a pre-trial conference with the Trooper where you try and make a deal. 99.99% end up coming to an agreement, 0.01% go to trial. And as long as you are a Trooper with more than 2 weeks on the job, you will win 99.99% of the time at trial.

As a NYST, you can take my word for it. The rational in New York is reducing overtime costs.

Ok, here is the short version of the story: NYSP Administration are attempting to cut back on Court overtime. Although they claim it is to be 'more fair to motorists.' They're plan, as of September 1st, 2006 is to stop having Troopers go to Court to plea bargain the cases and instead have the local DA's and Towns/Villages/Etc hire prosecutors instead. The problem is most DA's offices will not handle the V&T Calendar, and since the State is not actually providing any funds to hire hundreds of new ADA's, this issue is far from settled. This will be a long drawn out battle between the PBA and SP Administration.

Why would Indian Point be in one Battalion and Verplanck/Buchanan in a seperate?

Thanks NRFD. I had already been thru those. I was wondering if anyone knew anything more.

Anyone know anything about University Hospital EMS in Newark, NJ?

After spending four weeks in Louisiana with the State Police, you would not believe what jobs are done by inmates. It seems to work for them, as they've been doing it for many, many, many years.

Sean is also the nephew of Deputy Commissioner John E. Jackson, WC DES.

What is the point of the criusing lights? I know personally, at night, my goal is to NOT have anyone see me coming.
