NYCPD inspections prompt recall of 36000 police cruisers across the country

1,613 Chevy Impalas in the New York fleet need to have a defective part in the cars’ front ends replaced. 2008-2012 models are effected.    By Joe Kemp   — Friday, August 17th, 2012 ‘The New York Daily News’ 

The NYPD prompted a nationwide recall of Chevrolet Impalas used as police cruisers after city cops spotted a defective part, officials said Thursday.  The recall, which covers more than 36,000 police vehicles across the country, is expected to begin Aug. 21, officials said.

General Motors announced the recall of 2008 to 2012 models after the NYPD alerted the automaker that the vehicles’ front lower control arms, which support the front wheels, were cracking, officials said.  There were no reports that the defective part had caused any accidents or injuries.
The NYCPD has 2,366 Impalas in its fleet and 1,613 are subject to the recall.

Veterans group is disappointed in $5 million tab for two events.

In a statement released after news broke Monday that human resources employees at conferences in ,Orlando Florida in July and August 2011 may have accepted thousands of dollars’ worth of gifts that included alcohol, concert tickets and spa visits, the department also said it is conducting new ethics training for all personnel involved with the planning and execution of conferences and recertification of contract specialists.

“While the inspector general has stated that the conferences were for legitimate training purposes, that would not excuse the misconduct or poor judgment that is alleged of even a few individuals,” the department said in a statement on the Florida events.    full article

Officer Phillip Cardillo

That Stellar Symbol of Chicago Values, Rahm Emanuel, is working with Louis Farrakhan, purveyor of hatred and bigotry, on the Chicago crime wave.  Meanwhile, Farrakhan is being allowed to block a Harlem memorial for murdered police officer, Phillip Cardillo. It was Farrakhan’s own people who killed the officer.

Be sure to read about the startling cover up after Desiree’s story. You won’t regret it.

The following story about Phillip Cardillo was written by Desiree Moore earlier this year.
