The plaque gives them the right to park by a fite hydrant, the wrong way etc. during an emergency. You need to be an emergency vehicle to have the rights to lights and sirens in your POV. Yes some of these individuals have attitude issues, But dont let them speak for the organizationn as a whole.

Hatzolah is a volunteer EMS service. It is comprised of Jewish EMT's and Paramedics that volunteer their time to help others in need. In New York it serves the 5 Boroughs. They help anyone who needs their assistance regarledd if your jewish or not. anyone can call their emergency number (718) 230-100 and assistance will be there to help. The police are jealous that Hatzolah members are allowed to have Emergency lights and sirens in their cars. Hatzolah uses a two tiered response system. The closest EMT's are dispatched in their personal vehicles in which they have a trauma bag, and medical kit. Another Member heads to the garage to pick up a bus. hatzolah memebers also have plaques issued from the DOT allowing them to park illeagally at the scene of an emergency. The plaques are abused somewhat which gets the police upset.

Hatzolah is a great orgaization. However the wat they operate sometimes draws the ire of the local municipality. What passaic PD is doing is wrong.
