A butterfly flies beside us like a sunbeam, and for a brief moment it's glory and beauty belong to our world. But then it flies on again, and though we wish it could have stayed, we feel so lucky to have seen it.
May those who left before us,
rest in peace

An open letter to Commissioner Kelly and the PBA
Will you believe that a police commissioner and a drop out assistant district attorney, William DeProspo both agree on putting officer’s lives in danger by agreeing on headlights and cameras on the police officers guns? It will not only make the weapon more unwieldy to aim and fire but it will give away the position of the officer in any kind of light.
Example: lights on, on all moving vehicles, WHY? because they will be easier to see even in the daytime.. Bus companys and long haulers found that out years ago.
An officer removes his weapon from the holster when he feels he may need it, now he is being forced to leave the weapon holstered or give his location away.
An officer has to make a possible life ending decision in about the time it takes to read this sentence. Nothing should deter him from making the right decision, most of all from someone who has weeks, if not months to make a decision in a lesser consequence situation.
I call on the PBA and every other police organization everywhere to oppose this measure,
The police officers gun should be equipped with laser sights instead of cameras, the cost to the city would be the same, the officers location would not be compromised, less shots would be fired, that should make the mayor happy and at the same time allow the officer to place his shots where they will effect the desired results.

Handgun Qualification, required by federal law
Tony "Snake", Jimmy Picco and I visited the site below to take the qualification combat course which gives you a photo identification card to carry with your pistol carry license. It meets the federal requirement to carry in all 50 states. It's at the Rockland County State Police Academy Range. It cost $50, It takes less than 45 minutes, the hosts were great and helpful and as soon as your finished shooting, pick up your photo I.D. card and leave. No waiting , We started at 0800 and were on our way home at 0850. Great time.
ps. Snake showed us up with an almost perfect score
The group photo of the 2008 reunion is on the "Group photos" page.
We have a new page, it's listed on the menu above and is called "Multimedia" click on it to activate it. It has a clip of the 2009 reunion.
HR-218 Final Decision from NY State
To New York State Resident Retired Law Enforcement Officers. I have some bad news.
The State of New York has confirmed what I thought was the case. If you are a retired law enforcement officer residing in New York State,
YOU CANNOT GET HR-218 QUALIFIED BY ANYONE OTHER THAN THE DEPARTMENT YOU RETIRED FROM.
That means that everyone who took a firearms course with the understanding that they were being qualified for HR-218, whether or not it was by a private instructor, a retired or even an active NYPD range officer, a federal agency or a security guard employer, the course of fire WAS NOT VALID for HR-218 certification.
Until the state of New York changes its mind, only the NYPD can certify retirees for HR-218 and they have said, "NO ONE, NO WAY"
Comment: I still beleive that having the NY Rockland County State Police qualification valid or not, is an affirmative defense should the occasion arise.
In contrast to the above paragraph we have the opinion of the 10-13 club of Broward County, FL posted below, and they may be right . While the Rockland County State Police read it otherwise, we still have more research to do. I will keep you posted.
This is Broward's 10-13 release
My conclusion to the above question:
It is always better to be judged by twelve, than carried by six

The Rockland County Police and Public Safety Academy can not predict how this card will or will not be honored by law enforcement officers in any state. The card does, in fact, attest to the fact that the retired officer has qualified and the date and circumstances of the qualification
A new page has been added to our web site, to keep members updated on how our representatives voted on Health Care, the 2nd Amendment and Social Security changes.
