  1. Only one will. I decided to add a push bar as well. We have two OSP cars. Im thinking about adding a third. The second car has just been lighted to replicate the new cruisers, all thanks to griffy. I lighted the first cruiser to have red and blue on a liberty lightbar.

    Well the new cruisers will be silver dodge chargers with all blue lightbars. They hope to have all (speaking optimistically) the cruisers switched over by 2013. This was told to me by one of our regions troopers at a call last week.

    I believe they're staying with tahoes for the K9 / Supervisor cars but I'm not 100% in that.

    The only red I see on the newest white cruisers that handle the crashes on state roads is in the rear windshield it's alternates between red and blue LEDs. The grille is now all blue. At least where I work on the FD in Geuaga County, Ohio.

    The old ones will remain the white crown vics with either all blue lightbars or the really old ones with the red/blue lightbars. A trooper with an all red lightbar isn't your standard trooper, those are the guys who enforce the truck weights and that sort of thing and they aren't law enforcement troopers.

    Also- side note: Our most recent police chief lived in Ravenna, I believe he worked PD there as well. He's now the police chief in Hiram. Great guy, sad to see him go.

  2. The tutorials section doesn't really work properly, if you go to Tutorials ---> English ---> Emergency 4 nothing is listed. See the screenshot attached.

    And, Welcome back Stan.

    He probably just has to reset the permissions as sometimes those can be reset when upgrading.

    Hey there Emergency fans.

    Since all of us here our fans of the police/ fire/ EMS and other emergency services, I thought this would be a great place to invite new members to come on over and try out a new website by the name of EMERGENCY BRICKS! (http://emergencybricks.com)

    EMERGENCY BRICKS! is a niche community geared towards fans of LEGO® both young and old. There are some amazing creations of police cars, fire apparatus and ambulances already on the site, interact and network with builders, get tips and free template downloads, share your own creations.

    You can even share your non Emergency related creations as well.

    Give us visit and check it out for yourself! Our forum community is located here if you'd like to bypass the Wordpress blog on the front page.

    All of this is free, access to the forums only requiring registration.

    Thanks so much for your time!

    Here's some examples of what people are doing:

  4. NYC don't use gated wye's :s

    Then how do they hook up to standpipes? I have never heard of a department not using them. We use them like their used in game sometimes to split 3 inch supply hose into 1 3/4 handlines, on the smaller connections of hydrants to flush air and on standpipes to gate off into two handlines. Just to name a few.

  5. A lot of people are complaining the the other NY Mod isn't as far along or as up to par as this one. I would just like to point out that the difference between the mods is this one is using LA Mod functionality and game play. The other is based on something different and meant to be more restrictive in units and such to make you think more about what you do. This is by design (from what I understand) Comparing the two isn't entirely fair.

    For those who want a laid back game I'd suggest this submod once it's done in 6 months or however long it takes to redo all the lost data.

    For those who want a more strategically played game I'd suggest the other NY Mod.

  6. haha better still just dont mention the word "release" because most of the moderators on here are idiots and love to show they have "almighty power" :)

    heh I agree that this forum is very strict as far as the moderators go. I come from a background of more clan/console based and graphic design type forums and have had my experience in managing my own over the years and I disagree with the policies these guys use from time to time. But what can ya do? Nothing unfortunately. Voicing your concerns are unlikely to do anything as this forum has a bit of a monopoly on the English speaking Emergency modding community so if you're banned here you can't really find another place to get your fill so to speak. So you just have to mind the rules and keep quiet for now.

  7. Across the United States Public Safety Officers are utilized. These are police officers trained usually to the EMT-Basic level, as well as basic fire training as well. Turnout gear, and a Basic EMS Bag are kept in the patrol vehicle alongside the police equipment. More often than not these will be sheriff deputies driving a SUV of some sort and the purpose is to provide better patient care/ response for volunteer depts.

    There are however places that require all uniformed police officers to be EMTs and even firefighters as well using a combination Police/Fire roster. So all cops are firefighters and vice versa, the shifts are goofy though but it would be fun.

    In remote areas, the police dept even operates as the ALS paramedic provider with a police dept ambulance. Out north west I know this is not a new thing.

    In the suburban areas though, the only place you're likely to find a Fire/Medic/Cop combo is attached to a SWAT team (They work fulltime as a cop and part time on a fire dept to keep their paramedic con-ed up) or aboard a police helo that also does medevac.
