How my NYPD records work....

From 1965 to 1967 I was a NYC "Transit" Cop, we qualified at Rodmans Neck in the Bronx, in 1965 they put through 2 academy classes of 400 recruits......I worked in Manhattan, 42nd and 8th (below the Port Authority Bus Terminal), it was like a combat zone.

Always good the hear from "The Mole Patrol"! :)
 
Just wondering if any NYPD in attendance remember shooting at the Park Ave. Armory range. I think it was for Detectives as that is all I ever saw there. My high school rifle team (Stuyvesant) used it as our home range while I was there from 1955-1959. If we showed up early before the instructors left they would let us shoot their snub nose revolvers.

I remember that range on Park Ave very well although I never shot a round in it.There was some free ammo available there if you chose to visit.It was in my are of Patrol when I was at ESU Truck 1
I went to Brooklyn Tech from 1956-1960.We had our own range in the basement of the school.Maybe we shot a match together in 58 or 59?
 
StakeOut, I would say there is a MORE than excellent chance we shot a match together. I was on the Stuyvesant team in 1958 and 1959 and we were in the same league as Brooklyn Tech. I used to practice on Saturday mornings at the Manhattan Rifle & Pistol Assoc. School of Firearms range at 24 Murray St. We would have shot against you on our home range which was the Armory. The guys at Stuy always envied Tech and the basement range and again, if I remember, you folks had Winchester Model 52's and we had Remington 513T's.

I spent my last year in the NYPD(1985) assigned to the outdoor range.

I'm an Article 2 pension guy.

I'm 79 and live in Texas now so I won't be visiting the Outdoor Range but I'd like to.

The biggest change in the NYPD while I was there was women on street patrol.Prior there was a Police Women's Bureau limited to 500 that were assigned mostly indoor jobs with youth,female prisoners and some undercover work.

I'm hitting my 25th anniversary and ending this chapter of my career. Been a Firearms instructor for 6 years at Rodmans Neck and I am very thankful for the training and experience of working there. Wife has 3 years to go. When she retires we will be moving to America. Just bought 6 acres in Tennessee.

I will miss the clowns not the circus lol.

Congrats on getting your retirement.

Please do us all a favor. Don't come down South and try and make it like it was back up Nawth. Try and adapt to the local customs.

Just remember, nobody in Tennessee cares how you did it in NYC.

Otherwise, it is good have another progun ex LEO down in Dixie.

With the amount of nonsense an NYPD retiree has been put through over the course of two decades, the farthest thing away from NYC (both geographically and politically) is usually greatly appreciated.

Best of luck in your retirement.
Moving from the tri-state area to Tenn makes Health insurance choice a more difficult one.
Make sure you have something to keep yourself busy once you leave the job.
My pension was a 20 year retirement but surely didn't keep up with the cost of living since 1985.
The pension system was based on a retiree only living for 7 years.I've been collecting my pension for 37 years.
While I was living in South Korea I had to get a paper notarized at the US Embassy every year that I was still breathing air.

Just be sure to slip on a piece of brass and get your almost-mandatory non-detectable soft tissue back injury so you can get three quarters and out. Seems like every dinosaur I ever met had some LOD injury that cushioned retirement.

Seriously though, if your still at the outdoor range, can you shot an image for me of the display case (I forget which building its in) that has every step in the manufacture of an M&P revolver. It starts with the billet and ends with the final piece. If you could check the frame and see if it has a s/n that'd be swell.

I always meant to shoot an image of it when I was up there and didn't get a chance.

I am going to keep some of the NY in me but I promise not to try to change anything. I want to live in America again.

Use some of that retirement money and join the S&W Collector's Association. Then the next time we have a meeting in the South, we kin all get together & tell LE sea stories. Most of my 25 years was done near Birmingham AL, followed by 2 years in Kosovo and 3 years in Afghanistan. My 7+ years as an armed security officer, working in a Federal office, had a few "fun" times too. :D

Well, I have to wait for the wife to hit her 20 first but after that anything is possible! Being a S&W fanboy I would love to join.
