Gated Wye said:FYI Just to clarify-
Before anyone starts getting the impression that this is an NYPD Vehicle... It's not. The total opposite. It's "Shomrim" (If you look at the edge of the windshield).
Not knocking on them- But Shomrim is Hatzalah's Auxillary PD Cousin, who is also heavily funded. A few videos-

FireEMSPolice said:Not trying to sound racist here but whats with the Jewish organizations in NYC needing their own EMS and PD organizations? Is the NYPD and FDNY not sufficient?? Whats next, their own fire departments?
Respondcode3 said:The difference is the KJ FD is the only FD out there on their Village. They are not within the borders of a established city.
Respondcode3 said:I can see the Hatzholah being registered with the state and being authotized to use red .. But on the local level does the NYPD authorize a neignborhood watch unit to use red lights and sirens?

Hatzolah is only a big thing in New York because there are tons of Jews there. Any big city with a large Jewish population is going to have a Hatzolah service - I even saw one of their ambulances, complete with Hebrew writing, in Mexico City. Couldn't get my camera out fast enough though.Station 3 said:I dont understand the whole deal with "Hatzolah" and them having special EMS,FIRE,PD services because of a specific race or religion? If thats the case why dont they just do that here in South Texas and have Special Police cars,EMS,FIRE units ,and instead of having POLICE decals have them say "POLICIA" and fire department say "GRUPO DE BOMBEROS" and EMS say ""AMBULANCIA" and have the Virgin mary decal on all those units and only have Hispanic employees.?? New York is something else

anystrobe said:Rescue operations during snowstorms, Search and rescue for missing people on NYC beaches.
EMT-BLS said:Okay, point by point. First off, what rescue operations? Shomrim is not a EMS organization, they have no idea how to mount a rescue operation. Second, search and rescue on beaches. Shomrim is not a lifeguarding operation. They are a community patrol. They have absolutely no training, despite their claims to the contrary. I have nothing against them, but they have started making themselves into a bigger deal then they are, and are legally allowed to. And now, before a mod gets upset, Im starting a Off-Topic thread, to de-clutter this Install thread. Nice job, the install looks pretty good.
anystrobe said:haha, Don't get so worked up over stupidity, so what if some people walk around acting like cops and getting away with it. The main thing is that their emergency lights should be installed professional and they should have really nice neat looking jobs, Like this one lol.
(ps cheer up, it aint that bad as you make it)
