[-X A recent tid bit has been passed along to me.It seems that 4 photo buffs were caught taking pictures of an unmarked unit parked in the home of the officer. when local PD arrived they claimed they worked for code 3 ( which they do not) they were made to erase all photos and advised that such spy shots will not be tolerated. This happened in central Westchester. BEWARE [-( [-( [-( [-(
  19. When Fire Control was located in the county police Hqs, what was the name of the Sgt. who did most of the radio work during the day??? :-k
  20. I may be wrong but Westchester County was one of the first to plan for emergencies. The Westchester Fire Chiefs Emergency Plan. The grandfather of 60 control. Some older members can bear me out right or wrong. This was originally housed in White Plains Hqs. All the hype and opinions about how we should change to be like other counties may not work. look at the alarm load for Westchester. Fire control is a great resource for the smaller depts who were dispatched on a catch as you can system. (answering service, phones in homes, police depts.) to name a few. From a first hand knowledge the more people involved in dispatch the longer response time. For a career dept a direct dispatch can save 3 to 5 minutes in response time. Do we really need Eng 21-2-1-???. No! What we need is the county to seperate depts on dispatch and operating freq. The current proposed radio system is for mutual aid only ( so I have been told ). My last check is each dept is FCC licensed to operate on a given Freq. We are still waiting for the rip and run system from 1994. Many depts are getting Freq. and installing there own repeater systems. the grass seems always greener over the septic tank. :-k
  21. how about E306 ALF, fall 2005
  22. It is with deep sadness on the Line of Duty death of Jackson Gerhart.
