Babe's former headquarters is now vacant. I believe it is to be knocked down to make room for a new GWB ramp.

Alpine Garage Taxi Dispatch
Originally uploaded by davidjdiller.

Advanced Transportation runs out of Alpine, NJ. It took over Tenafly Taxi a few years ago. For a while it dispached from TT's old base across the street from the Tenafly Bus shelter but then moved to the Old Alpine garage. (The Tenafly Taxi storefront is now a physic reading shop!) Advanced Trans uses strictly Nextel (and cell phones) to dispatch. BTW I know all this because I now drive a cab for them. More about Advanced Transportion and the Alpine Gargage here.

"The fuzzy picture of Otis Air National Guard Base's future became somewhat clearer yesterday, nine months after it was spared from the chopping block.

Otis Air National Guard Base was targeted for closure last year, but a review panel spared the base.

An F-15 fighter squadron will move from the base next year to a facility in Western Massachusetts.

F-15s from the Cape base were the first to respond after the terrorist attack on New York on Sept. 11, 2001.

Guard leaders say an intelligence mission, as yet unspecified, could help overcome job losses.

A likely new mission at Otis could involve interpreting data from unmanned surveillance aircraft.

The military has made increased use of Predator and Global Hawk aircraft in the war against terrorism.

Any new mission would begin around October 2007, in concert with the move of the F-15 squadron.

More than 200 of the Cape-based soldiers whose jobs will vanish when the base's F-15 fighter jets leave the Cape will be absorbed into a new Guard intelligence unit, state Guard leaders announced.

The so-called Distributed Ground Station unit's mission will include the processing and distribution of intelligence data collected by, among other sources, unmanned surveillance vehicles." More...

Men use police scanner, UHF radios to steal parking meters

The Advertiser (Australia)
"Meter thieves in court
Friday, 7 April 2006

A GROUP of Bendigo men used a police scanner, UHF radios and a host of tools during a covert operation to steal parking meters from the city earlier this year.
The Bendigo Magistrates Court yesterday heard that the men stole 24 meters from the central business district between January 13 and 21.

Although police claim the thefts only netted $500 for the men, the machines were valued at $990 each, putting the total cost of the thefts at more than $24,000." More...

Police probe whether profane call made by officer

2006-04-24T19:46:00.000-07:00

From the Morning Call(PA): "Police probe whether profane call made by officer
Dispatchers said they recognized voice over emergency channel.

Bangor Police Chief Glenn Kerrigan is investigating whether a borough police officer went on a profanity-laced rant over Northampton County's 911 emergency radio channel three months ago.

''I'm looking into that transmission,'' said Kerrigan on Friday. ''With people feeling it possibly could be one of my officers, I want to be positive.''

Kerrigan said he discussed the bizarre radio transmission two weeks ago with Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli. Morganelli was unavailable for comment.

Since then, Kerrigan said he has been waiting for help from a voice analyst ''from another agency,'' which he declined to identify." More...
