For example, in the 1980s the NYPD has used Model 10 and 60 revolvers, but for 1993, it would make sense to change to the Beretta or the Glock, and for ESU in the 1980s I would suggest M16's and for the 90s, the MP5. If you would like me to send some 80s and 90s ESU stuff i'll definitely give it a shot. 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeFireman2500 Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 Question, considering it's both NY and 1993, will we have a bomb squad related call, for example, "Bomb alert! the bomber is fleeing, arrest and take them away, you also need to extinguish all fire and if nessecary treat any casualties."

AwesomeFireman2500 Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 The 1993 World Trade Center bombing was a terrorist attack that had been carried out on February 26, 1993 when a van bomb had been detonated below the North Tower of the World Trade Center complex in the parking garage killing six people in the process of it all.

itchboy Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 It's been slow going for progress from me. I've sadly, not been able to do very much. This is one of the 87-89 Mack Pumpers, early WIP. More to come in the future, but I make no promises. 5 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johhnnyy Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Hey @itchboy, here's an unmarked LAFD tactical medic unit, in case you're looking for an example of an unmarked LAFD unit that has L&S. Please note that the rear light is red and amber, as opposed to the red and blue on unmarked and slicktop LAPD units. https://youtu.be/LuWlSLwd2S0?si=51iaQ0v6Rs61ccq0&t=97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercurygrandmarquis1 Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 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 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unmarked LAFD tactical medic car could be used in LA Nostalgia for arson investigators, or even higher ranking officers that can outrank the Battalion Chief.

AwesomeFireman2500 Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 @mercurygrandmarquis1 Can we atleast have some FDNY units in the FD category for Mutual Aid? Because I know for a fact FDNY has sent units to Jersey City for mutual aid a BUNCH of times, So there's not reason to NOT add them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AwesomeFireman2500 Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 But, it's not to say that the FDNY has not been to different parts of New Jersey, they have been on scene for incidents involving bridges, tunnels, and airports. For example, if a fire occurs on a bridge or in a tunnel connecting New Jersey, the Port Authority of New York and the FDNY are notified to respond to the scene. So, in conclusion we could still technically add FDNY units considering Jersey City is a part of New Jersey.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
