I like the sideview mirror for the crew geting off into traffic. What is that thing that looks like a radar gun sticking out of the passanger side between the officer and crew door.

I know Yorktown, somers and I believe Greenburgh PD has one is there anyone else in westchester that has a active dive team or is starting one.

No I believe Verplanck FD drop there dive team.

oneeyedmic Thanks for the offer for service don't be suprised if you get the call (hope its when your off so you get the ot ha!ha!). The reason for the team start is a little want and a little need members(me foremost) wanted to be able to do dive rescue in the event of a water emergencey. I don't believe throwing a scuba tank on and jumping in the water is safe or a smart thing and it doesn't make you a rescue diver it makes you another victim they have to find later on. only with training, drilling and equipment can you preform a safe dive. the need- Putnam Valley is full of lake and ponds every were you turn thats why it's called the town of lakes with the increase of people on the waterways expecially summer weekends the need is there. yes our neighbors Mahopac Falls have a excellent dive team(still will be automatic dispatch)but getting properly trained divers is a must to preform a safe rescue or recovery this might take three or four teams( maybe even Mt.Pleasent). It's about helping people with a rescue or the family's peace of mind through recovery in a safe manner. Be safe out there.

I'm impressed with the amount of teams in westchester and equipment available out there.(side scan great tool good to know it's available so close). I'm in the process of starting a team in Putnam Valley it's definitely a big undertaking we got about seven divers all advanced certified and dry suit certified. with some rescue diver I certified hopefully the rest will be certified this spring. we just got the agas with coms very nice. I've been recreacional diving for 20 years I started rescue diving about a year ago. rescue diving is a whole other challenge its like starting all over. After diving the mud holes in this area it's nice to hit the caribbean(going to Cozumel end of april can't wait). Alot of training in the future for us if theres any teams out there looking too do some joint training you can e-mail me at kfire94@aol.com thanks stay safe mike
