    This is the company that lowballed Montefiore and destroyed Our Lady Of Mercy EMS, which was a great EMS service, putting profits over people, and causing people to lose good paying, stable hospital jobs.

    They sure did. They ruined one of the best EMS departments around with some of the best EMT'S & Medic's I ever worked with for over 10 years. A lot 

    of peoples lives changed due to Transcare coming into  Montefiore (Our Lady Of Mercy) and destroying  that department. It was a end of an era.

    In the Westchester County Police Academy we spent 2 days doing active shooter training. 1st day was all classroom 2nd was hands on training inside of a school. IMO it was good training but not enough of it. In Yonkers about 50% of us went though 2 days of active shooter training given by Home Land Security. IMO by far the best training i went though so far as a cop. YPD goal is to have the whole department going though this training.

    I would pay twice what we pay now per year for a career firefighter/paramedic staffed department, and triple that to add in a uniformed policeman in each public school in my township. Happily.

    I asked not to play the vollie card because we preach until we are blue in the face that we are no different than a career fireman,,(not true BTW), then we ask for special perks because we are "volunteer"....sorry - you cant have your cake, and eat it too..

    AMEN to that. I would do the same to know when I dial 911 a cop from a town job would be here in minutes for the suspicious male in my yard or , a Paid EMT & Firefighter would be here too instead of 3 re tones for a crew while some one is having a heart attack. You can put a price on safety

    Congrats to everyone who gaduated from this class and will be serving their community.

    Congrats to Pete Rovida on his appointment to Ardsley PD! It seems like ages ago when we worked at Empress together...and Pete is a longtime Greenburgh PD EMS medic amongst other places. It's rare Ardsley PD sends someone through the academy, and I'm glad he's serving in my former hometown and the same department where my father and grandfather retired from.

    Is the Frank Califano from Yonkers PD THE Frank Califano x701?

    Quick one before I go for the night....sitting on Post 1 - up at Dunwoodie Gold Course before they kicked us out of there (running a "private company from a county property").......nice afternoon...working with my favorite partner ever - Billy "The Hammer" Rothschild...

    It is quite - he is napping and I am reading a magazine, enjoying a dip of Skoal....spitting into a bottle...

    We get alerted for an E-Job, so I start off down the hill..Billy awakes and takes a drink from his bottle....except.....he actually picked up my swill bottle....and took a big gulp of my chewing tobacco spit...

    Without skipping a beat - I pass him my full bottle of Gatorade, and he downs it.....not a word was spoken...

    He kept lunch down....amazing!~

    I remember when he got back to post 7 he was pissed!!!!
