Todays NYstalgia Spec post. Very few 1991 caprices were purchased by the NYPD and they were bought in two batches. The first batch of 1991 Caprices had the same striping from the original 1973 design. The second batch introduced the NYC POLICE livery which was used until 1993 with some variations through the 3 years

Is the building ok?

Oh no is the building still there?

What happened at the trade center in 1993?

I believe that's built into the game

So the mod takes place in 1993, At least as a starting off point. In 1987 the NYPD switched to DAO stainless steel revolvers (Smith and Wesson Model 64 with a bobbed hammer) which were used until 1993 The NYPD field tested ruger semi autos prior to 1993 with special units getting them before patrol. These were all recalled prior to the roll out of Semi autos (Sig, Glock and S&W) which were rolled out in the July 1993 police academy class which hit the streets in January of 1994. During this time ESU had Mini14s and MP5s. No NYC agency ever issued a Beretta pistol to police officers. Transit is a different story. The chief of police for transit who later became the commissioner for the NYPD and the Chief for the LAPD modernized Transit faster then most agencies in the NYC area, Introducing Glocks in 1990 which caused a disagreement between Transit and the NYPD and as a result the NYPD denied them use of the department range

Division chiefs used sedans up until the early 2000s.

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

Dozens

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!

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

Do you have any R bodies in the works? LAPD Gran Fury or CHP St. Regis?

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.

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
