Thanks for the ad and the comment on the trucks. The brush truck is our baby and is still in active service. It has 19,250 miles on it. It is jsut on the verge of going into parade sertvice status as we have a large brush area to cover and need a more modern unit like into the 80's I hope. We are a small department with minimum financial resources so need to grow slowly. The other 3 trucks are new to us in the last 3 years.
Thanks again for the comment and stay safe.

on may 8th a year and a half ago we had a mentally disturbed teenager armed with multiple firearms including assault rifles storm our police station. He first hit MPO Michael Garbarino who was in his cruiser without a ballistics vest on logging off before going on vacation with his family, Detective Vicky Armel returned fire and was struck multiple times, she died onscene. MPO Garbarino was able to get a radio report out before losing cxness and succumbed to his injuries may 15th. The shooter was neutralized by a k9 officer who had a m13 and died onscene.
