I may or may not wear those in tandem whenever I get the chance. #AddMeToTheLawsuit

This works. CHiPs is the show, don't call us that. Most chippies will give you a weird look if you call them trooper/staties. Haha.

I lurk mostly. I'll admit I'm a few days late and haven't read the whole thread but you can't deny that donuts are delicious. As others have said this incident was several years ago so I don't recall the specifics and don't want to spend a bunch of time getting back into it. Here is my...

I've heard them called worst responder more than once. They did lots of IFT when I left the Sacramento area. Have to agree with @gotshirtz001 on this one.

Talking to guys who have been in our program for awhile that have been in both Long Rangers and our current A-Star the A-Star is quite a bit smaller.

I mean, Thermal is pretty ghetto...

Feel free. Either I don't have enough posts to message yet or I can't figure it out on mobile. Haha.

@exodus If you message me we can talk ride along. Sorry for the double post. We patrol at a minimum of 500 feet AGL during the day, 700 at night. We don't usually stay that low during routine flight. If we're working a call where we need to be closer we can move down lower to get what we...

Yeah, H60. We're glad to help. Generally the helicopter is from 0730 to 0200 with a crew change at 1630/1700. We also have 2 airplanes that are available during the hours of daylight. We're supposed to be getting a plane with a fancy camera that will make them operational at night as well.

Yes, it is tough to get much done once we're all loaded up and on the go. With the way we're set up during a medevac I pretty much only have access to the head and chest if I don't want to try to crawl around inside a flying helicopter. This is correct. All of our AirOps units that do...

Done.

As mentioned above the sounds themselves are standardized in California. As for equipment, the siren speaker itself is a Whelen. I do not recall the brand/model of the in car computer and integrated light and siren controller. The crown vic's only have the wail and alternate to the yelp with a...

It's all good. I hope my initial reply didn't come off negatively and I apologize if it did. And I agree! While we train with plenty of other agencies for hoist/search and rescue missions it's unfortunate we don't do anything for medics that are picked up and expected to provide ALS care and...

Yes, been lurking for a long time and saw a tread I could contribute to.

While this is true there is only 1 out of the 4 people who is an EMT still and he has been around for awhile. 75% of the time there is a paramedic on board and you will not get hired into the air unit on the helicopter side these days without being a medic. To do any job with CHP air ops you...
