ARFF to begin operating seperate from PAPD at NY/NJ Airports

[emshighway]

Based on internal memos from the PANYNJ the Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting units are to begin operating as an independent unit from the Port Authority Police beginning March 31st 2014. The ARFF units will report to PANYNJ Operations. The majority of the ARFF personnel are PAPD Officers who have chosen to more over from the Police Department to this new group. The PANYNJ doesn't expect any change in the performance of the emergency response capabilities to the airports.

Let me guess... retire from PAPD, start collecting a pension, and immediately start working for the Port, just in a different capacity.

Not yet, they are current PAPD who are giving up the gun to move over to firefighter.
