    Now here's something more macho. It turns out there's no less than 6 variations of this Ford ambulance that NYC*EMS used. I'll try to make as many of them as I can. The other team members will be doing livery work on this, unless there's any takers looking to help.

    So for those at home wondering NYC EMS purchased off the shelf fords in 1989 after the EMS fleet was falling apart at the seams. These 89s were mainly Collins and Wheeled coaches and there were a handful of variations. At the time NYPD Motor Transport Division (the precursor to modern day Fleet Service Division) took on a lot of the EMS overflow because EMS fleet services couldn't keep up with the work. The fleet situation in EMS was so bad that in 1987 a citation bar was issued to anyone working during the ambulance shortage. Below are a handful of 1989 Ford Buses

  2. Hey everyone. I want to take the time to introduce myself. Ive been a member on EMP since 2007, Longer than most of you have been alive. But I wouldn't say I'm an active poster until now. I am the primary researcher for the NYPD and EMS side of this mod as well as doing some of the skins for the vehicles. Aside from being a member of the mod team here I have been a first responder in NYC for many years. I am also in the process of restoring several police cars and I collect and restore vintage emergency lights and sirens some of my collection may make it into the mod.

     

    If anyone has any questions about NYC police or EMS vehicles from the 70s to now feel free to ask in this thread!

    Some really good news. The LAPD Caprice wagon has been found. Based on news articles, it was in service in 1988, but I'd like to imagine it made it to the early 90's.

    I'll be including this in the upcoming updates, along with more LAX airport police units, and the previously mentioned LAPD Bronco.

    From my understand of the LAPD at this time they had a very old fleet. I know of one 1986 caprice that was in service until around 2000. It would not be out of the realm of possibility for a late 70s wagon to still be in use in the early 90s

  4. This is my NYPD streethawk, Fully restored by me. This was suspected to be at ground zero because during the breakdown process a white debris was found. When I showed my mother who was a 9/11 survivor she confirmed that it looked exactly the the debris found in her office located across the street from the WTC. This particular bar also had a date code of early 1997.

  5. First off I love the mod. I have a few suggestions for this mod.

     

    • Change the sirens for the later LAPD cars. When they switched from the Aerodynic to the MX7000 they switched siren from the 480k to the Unitrol Omega
    • Can you implement the shotgun script from the Montana Mod. The LAPD used shotguns in this era
    • Bring in a random vehicle script for spawning in patrol cars. IIRC Newfoundkings NYC Mod did this
    • The Caltrans van is a late 90s/early 2000s model
    • Can you add LASD deputies and CHP officers for the unmarked car?
    • The LAPD fleet was a mess up until the late 90s and during the time period of the 80s there would be some B body furies and the rare AMC matador  left in the fleet are these going to be included in the mod?
    • LAPD Supervisors station wagons?
    • Can you put the Unmarked impala from colors in lol

    BLS because its the most likely training they would have for the area. Beaverhead county also have a private EMS agency that has ALS qualified medics so it would seem redundant to have both as ALS.

    Will beaverhead be on map or off?

    Thank you for your post. I appreciate all the kind words and I'm sure itchboy does as well.

    I apologize if I offended you with my previous comments, I believe I mistook what you were saying to be demeaning/demanding as opposed to just making suggestions.

    As for your suggestions, I'm not sure if we have any Caprices or older Crown Vics planned but I do know Itchboy is doing that Dodge Intrepid and we're going to keep the existing older units already in the mod. Version 3.0 will have new models that are both retro and modern day, but most importantly it will be more accurate to the real life units found in that area.

    So the old impalas are still going to be playable vehicles?

     "Monida Pass Public Works" would fit in well on the door panels of the truck. A halogen light bar and strobe headlights would fit, too.

    An old school code 3 lp6000 or a federal aerodynic would look good on this

    for the swat team try the Metropolitan Law Enforcement Council style set up



    Metropolitan Law Enforcement Council
    Covering Southeastern Massachusetts
    Metropolitan Law Enforcement Council is multi agency law enforcement association of over 40 local police and sheriff departments in the south metropolitan Boston, Massachusetts area. The agency is staffed by officers of the member departments. The agency has a Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team, a Crisis Negotiation Team (CNT), a Tactical Emergency Medical Support unit (TEMS), a Regional Response Team (RRT) for search and rescue, a motorcycle division, K-9 units, and more.

    I agree with this, Regional Tactical teams are pretty common in rural areas. 

  10. Ok cool, And if it means anything I would suggest to do one lumina, one caprice. Lumina's weren't really great cars in general and were terrible police cars.  My department bought luminas in 1998 last one I saw in front line service was 2000, Most were repainted dark blue got transferred to school safety shortly after they were deemed unfit for patrol they lasted another few years before they started blowing head gaskets before they hit 50k. Our caprices lasted up until 2007 when they started retiring them due to age.

     

    That being said it would still be cool to see one in game. And good call on not doing the catfish taurus the next generation looked a lot better

  11. If were still talking about 90s Police vehicles a lot of small towns still have old caprices and crown vics in there fleet.  Even on gov deals now there are about 10 1992-1997 Crown vics and 1 95 caprice waiting to be auctioned off. A lot of these cars tend to either been former police cars turned fire department cars or detective cars however it wouldn't be entirely out of the question.

  12. Also I have a suggestion. Give MPFD a volunteer BLS ambulance and replace the hospital ambulance with a fly car. It would make sense since most EMS is volunteer and in addition it would be more challenging for resource management. Rural areas with limited resources generally benefit more from a tiered response system with fly cars.
