I have read this on a facebook page june 28 : Congrat's to E\-One and Absolute Fire for the NYPD contract for 8 Custom Stainless Steel Rescue

[Guest]

According to my sources NYPD has a bid out with E\-One for 8 "Rescues" on Cyclone chassis with an add-on for 4 additional units. As of this date the bid has not yet been awarded.



Hope this helps

Interesting to see a TARU vehicle and hear what they do, I have seen them on TV at the Occupy Wall St protests and all they seem to be doing is videoing protestors. Any idea what they might be doing this for based on your description NJMedic?

[Guest]

Keeping video records of protests help IF the issue goes to Court. By showing acts from the civilians before a confict with PD arrises,or showing the wrong level of force taken by police... kind of a big brother thing...

It will also be evaluated to see if there are any deficiencies is the police response to the demonstration, and if training or planning for future protests need to be updated or changed.

Does anyone know about NYPD's tactical medics? Are they officers that are medics? From FDNY? Appreciate any info you have.

[jquest6368]

The NYPD Tactical Medics are ESU officers that received Paramedic training - many of them were already EMT's or Medics prior to joining ESU. There have been a few "turf wars" between them and the FDNY and hospital-based EMS units, but for the most part it has worked out well.

Thanks for the info!
