C.F.D

Well, obviously you won't be a painter or interior decorator. And you wouldn't want to be an electrician, or a police officer, a soldier, paramedic, firefighter either. For the most part though, very few careers are eliminated because of color blindness. You will have already adapted to it, and are aware of your own limitations- so you can always make adjustments for the odd situation when color determination is important. Pilots need to know whether other aircraft or coming towards or going away from them at night. They do this by knowing that planes have a different colored wing light on the left compared to right wing. Cops would have a hard time identifying subjects if they couldn't rely on the color of their clothing. Your "blue" shirted bank robber might be wearing gray, or blue and green stripes, according to your description. But there are still lots of other career options that are not color critical, and you will be able to adapt for those few situations when color becomes an issue. Not really a big deal. I'm Deaf here, and according to NFPA Health Standards, i can't join a Fire Department because i wear Hearing Aids...Well guess what? I joined the Calgary Fire Department and became the FIRST Deaf Junior Firefighter/Fire Cadet. After several years of struggling, i got in. Next step: Firefighter Its my dream to become a Paid Firefighter /Volunteer Firefighter. When i got in at first, when CFD found out for sure that I have a hearing ‘disability’ its just pure insensitivity, almost like they are trying to test me to be able to say I can’t do the job. They will turn their backs when talking, make me have to have them repeat themselves, which they give me a look, or lately if i ask if they can repeat it they yell “never mind I’ll just do it”. Its like “Um I can do it.” But now, i have alot more respect from CFD, and i have alot of pride being with CFD as Fire Cadet. Things is now alot easier because they adapted to socialize and to work with/around me. I'm blessed. There are only couple hundreds of Deaf Firefighters in North America (525 million people lives in North America). One of them is a Fire Chief now. Another one is a Paramedic/Firefighter. The list goes on. They're heroes because they busted their balls off just to land the position as a Firefighter, after fighting the challenges and restrictions thanks to the fitly NFPA So I'm busting my ass off to make sure my dream comes true. I know there are people out there who believe deaf and hard of hearing people have no place in the fire service or other careers. But hello, common decency anyone? It’s this sort of infantile behavior that reinforces the notion that emergency responders are a good ol’ boy network. I’m fortunate that I haven’t seen this in my current department. This applies to both firefighters and deaf people alike. Even if you don’t agree with what a person represents, treating them in a way less than you would treat your own neighbor only serves to dehumanize you. So Regardless what other people or organization says about restriction, i say screw em, and be the possible of the impossible. Me Rappelling down.

^ What he said.

I'd rather use a Dog than a gun *wink*

Curious, are you gonna try out k9 now? Lol. Since NY Modification did it, why don't you attempt at it?

Novius, check out this video of a LAPD Traffic stop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcIhIPgfL0g You'll see RED and BLUE hide-a-way lights installed in the headlights.

I AM OFFICIALLY RENAMING THIS SUB MOD TO : PROJECT REALITY LIGHTS. (( I WOULD LIKE AN ADMINISTRATOR TO CLOSE THIS TOPIC, AND GRANT ME RIGHTS ON MY NEW TOPIC. I WILL CREATE A TEAM OF FOUR, BECAUSE WHEN 1.9 COMES OUT, ALL LIGHTS WILL BE BASED OFF LAPD, LAFD AND CITY FIRST RESPONDERS BASED. NO MORE CHRISTMAS TREE, ITS NOW REALITY TIME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND THANK YOU FOR USING THIS SUBMOD! IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE PART OF IT, PM ME!)) Vehicles.rar

Right, i thought you meant Emergency Lights Hazards. I'll check it out.

Forgive me Mike, but i am going to ask one more question regarding Hide-A-Way Lights, since i can't find a post or topic about it... Since the LAPD are using Hide-a-Way lights, to my knowledge, i see them using it for the headlights, but are they using it for rear hazards? Have they installed the Hide-A-Way package into the brake dome?

I don't even have a knowledge or a clue how to "Alter the command of the units". Is it too much to ask that you don't be insular? I removed the CHP Charger's Emergency Lights Hazard Lights because in real life, they don't have any. I am now shifting towards Real life Based lights from the LAPD and LAFD. Also, i never edited the EMS CV. I will check out the BC SUV and CHP CV. Thank you for telling me that i uploaded the Port Police Prototype, my mistake, here is the correct version: Lapd_Update.rar

Yeah, but its not based off real life. It has brake wig wags, Side Window LED ( for intersection clearing) and LAPD does not use em...

Just a very small update: Updated the LAPD Marked Car, making it real life based. Added Hide-A-Way Strobes, and removed corner strobes, brake strobes, updated the Arjent Bar. Enjoy! Real life footage of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcIhIPgfL0g...re=channel_page Lapd_Update.rar

Hey Mike, i just saw a video of a LAPD Slicktop and Marked Unit using Hide-A-Way Lights in their headlights...looks pretty sweet!, So thats why i updated my LAPD unit, comparing to real life units now. If you wana see it, i'll be glad to give it to you.

I think my latest pack has a readme .

The Helmet could be personally owned by a Firefighter, not government issued, i.e LACoFD...

I just checked it out and i gotta say good job! Recommended for download!

Does the LAPD/LASD have some sort of a Cadet/Explorer Program? I do know that the LAFD has an explorer Program designed for Teenagers to experience whats firefighting is all about... And do the CHP have any k9 officers?

Do Transit Cops have same authority as regular beat cops?

Cheers, Mike!

Lol, i figured...i was chatting with a friend of mine, and he said that back in the days, CHP tested Lambos, to see if they're reliable but i said thats BS because CHP wouldn't do that...or use exotic cars for patrols.... One more Question, i heard that CHP used to test Impalas, but heard failed due to poor wheels handling....but again, are they using the newer impalas now?

Is it true that CHP tested Lambos to see if they are reliable for CHP patrols?

Yes, sorry about the virus. I recently been attacked by this dumb MSN virus and its been spreading it all over the computer, and it managed to get in the prototype.rar I apologize.

Cheers.
