Straypuft got a reaction from Reddington in Westerville OH - 2 Police officers killed responding to hang up callThere may have been around 500 vehicles in the procession today according to a city street worker I staged near as he was directing traffic, He was nice enough to let me know when the procession finally started moving as it started about an hour after the funeral service ended. The procession was around 65 minutes long from where I was standing which was around the halfway point.
I am an avid emergency vehicle photographer, It excites me to get the chance to see emergency vehicles I have never seen before or may never get to see since my mobility is limited by not having a personal mode of transportation. That being said, I was excited to be able to get a chance to photograph vehicles at a place I never get to visit. but some moments of sadness did get to me when the fallen officers service vehicles and the vehicle they were in came by :'(

Straypuft got a reaction from Wstlndwarrior in Gaming SetupIt wouldnt be impossible, but one would need to create something from scratch to hook up a control box to a computer, then create drivers for the peripheral to work with Windows, From there it might be as simple as assigning functions to each switch, Would possibly be easier using the kind I have as apposed to the SmartSiren posted above mine as there is less electronics to be dealt with in making each button function. But the bottom line is you need to know how to connect and solder wires and program stuff, but the process might not be cheap.
It might be possible to buy a current generation federal signal box and an interface adapter/card(I think its similar to an RJ45 cable) for computer that can be used to program the box, but there is still the matter of programming it to work in game.

Straypuft got a reaction from JonRodSleepy in >Post your local PD/FD/EMS pics here<I dont get to travel much, But I was thrilled to have been able to photograph one of these in my city of Akron Ohio back in 2014, I hold a special place in my heart for out of state police cars, My holy grail(cars i want to photograph) for the longest time was a current generation police car from California Highway Patrol, Got to photograph one last year in Cleveland :)
But I welcome all cars from all over the continent to come say hi in my neck of the woods :)

Straypuft got a reaction from TrentMU in National Police Week - Cleveland Ohio - VideosPresident John F Kennedy in 1961 declared that the week of May 15 every forthcoming year will be known as National Police/Peace Officers Week to honor those in Law Enforcement who have paid the ultimate price in protecting their communities, May 15 itself is National Peace Officers Memorial Day.
This day is honored all across the country in various forms ranging from Memorial Services in major cities to a Major Service held in Washington DC, Some of these communities might even have parades consisting of Pipes and Drums, Mounted Units, motorcycles, bicycles, and even police cars.
I am honored to live near a city that has a parade every year, That city is Cleveland Ohio.
Every year, Peace Officers from around the region and even Canada come to Cleveland to honor the fallen and disabled in the line of duty, The parade is followed by a memorial service where all the officers who came pay their respects.
Last month I got my first camcorder and todays parade was the major event I wanted to record for the first time.
I present to you the full parade:
And for those who dont have time to watch a 30 minute video, Here is the parade compressed into 1 minute:
