NY State Police at bridges and tunnels |
|
|
Posted by LuchAAA on Sat Jun 28 15:53:30 2025 They seem to have replaced the MTA Police at NY bridges and tunnels over the years.Anyone know more about this? A guy in my old neighborhood was a police officer at the Whitestone and Throggs Neck. He once shot at a car during a dangerous high speed chase. And, yes, he went to Catholic school. |

Cuomo wanted to emphasize that the TBTA was a STATE agency. He changed the uniforms and painted the vehicles to resemble state police. |

Um, no!The point is he was a cop and attended Catholic school in Queens. My observation is that the Catholic school system cultivated and socialized generations of Catholics to be police, firefighters, teachers, or some position of authority. Kids who attended Catholic school seem more likely to get married, have kids, and stay married. Um, =almood |

I was in the new academy the other day for a meeting of the Retired Sergeant's Association. A huge building. It was like a quarter mile walk from the entrance to the elevators. Too modern, seemed like a resort hotel!! Big waste of money, nothing wrong with the old one on E.20th Street. |

I'm glad I went to 20th Street "City" Academy! Hop on the N express to Union Square, always took me about 45 minutes. I have some friends who tell me that they haven't seen groups of recruits waiting for the express busses on Staten Italy like they used to 15-20 yrs ago. I'll go out on a limb and say one of those reasons is making the location 2 hrs away from everyone in Southern Brooklyn, Staten Italy, Orange and Rockland counties. |
