Thanks, appreciate the detailed response. Is the DRB still being used ?

Didn’t NYCdo something similar in the past ? I remember it being called something like DRB. Only in effect during specific hours and specific boxes. I don’t know how long it lasted or if it still exists in some form. Haven’t heard the term DRB on the radio in quite awhile. I could be wrong but...

Would be interesting to see what actually caused the thing to ignite and explode. Seems it survived the initial incident without any fire or explosion. Wonder if the tank breached during the crash and the contents escaped with the liquid or vapor eventually finding an ignition source or did the...

Now for some crazy reason I have to find out why. Is it because that’s the way it’s always been ?, Does it signify anything specific other than it being a COD uniform ?, I figure if anyone knows anything it’s someone on this site so I’ll just wait and see what else turns up.

Seems like a good idea. I can only imagine the economic and political “cooperation” required to get this done. Or not.

At work Box 4545 don’t remember the date.

Comes from the days before the merger when we were somewhat modeled after the NYPD and still using NYPD type language. I’m surprised the term “Conditions” has lasted as long as it has. And yes they used to be called “Patrol Supervisors” . The station located at Lincoln Hospital (currently known...
