1. Kudos to NY's Bravest - they do it all without "pomp and circumstance"

2. Have heard this term dispatch policy for MVA's the last few days - anyone familiar with what is going on here?

They use that term when there is an emergency on a highway. The minimum or "Dispatch Policy" is at least 3 and 2. If most of the MVA's that you are talking about happened on the parkways or expressways, then this is the reason.
