08:27 am - Update Time
Greeting and salutations from the Fall. Seems that summer just got turned off all together without petering out this year. I was in the Mid-Atlantic this week after the end of Ida turned into a Nor-Easter and all I could think was "Who turned off the heat, and left the fan running?" Weather aside, I hope those of you who proudly served our country had a good Veteran's Day this week. My dad was in the USAF, and my grandfather served in the U.S. Army. So I thank them and all of you who served.
This update is over 220 photos, with 55 new agencies and 2 complete counties. I'll be in Central PA this week coming up tagging along with my fiancee as she goes to a nursing conference. So if your around Lancaster and need to have your newest car photographed to show off your new design, now's your chance ;)

01:29 am - Something A Little More Sizable
This update is back to a more normal sized load of 200+ photos, and 53 new departments. Major beneficiaries of new agencies are Florida with 17 (also 5 more completed counties), and Michigan with 13. With the newly added photos in the Sunshine State the completion total is 82%.
Beyond that we've just been plugging along editing photos, taking care of back room items (bad picture links, spelling errors and the like). Hope those who had a Holiday today had a good three day weekend.

07:49 pm - NPCA Updated 09/16/09
Just a quick one for tonight. Want to thank everyone who e-mailed me this morning in response to last night's posting. I didn't mean for it to be a whoa-is-me pity party for my ego, but it is nice to know so many of you actually do follow what goes on with the website.
This is a (relatively) small update of 66 photos, and 16 new agencies to distract y'all with something shiny and new so you don't notice how long it's been since I last updated the site for a few more days ;)

02:22 am - Somebody Else Wanna Do This?
Holy crap people! Look I appreciate how terribly frustrating it is to send in photos to the website and the wait for what seems like forever to get them actually added. However there's a FAQ section for a reason, and the first questions "How long will it take my photos to get onto the website?" It says 8 months, and right now it's actually a little longer than that. It's not like I'm shafting the people who contribute, my own photos are backlogged from the WINTER of effing 2008!!! You know how many of my OWN photos I need to add? Glad you asked! Over 2,000!
So where exactly do any of you get off thinking that somehow you have the greatest photographs since sliced bread and you get to skip that line of people who are waiting? When I say I will try to work your photos in, that's exactly what it means "TRY".
I mean if someone else wants to run this thing, so be it. If you think you can work a 60+ hour a week job, and then put another 30-40 hours a week keeping things running on this website FOR FREE, then by all means. Contact me and we can work out a nice substantial price you can pay me to buy me out.
Until then, I do the best I can, with what time I have to provide all those who are passing by, fans, or rabidly faithful the best law enforcement vehicle photography experience I can. If you think it's been to long, a gentle prodding can help motivate me. But don't send me snide e-mails demanding action. Nobody died and made any of you popes of this dump.
We have, and will always use every photo that we get that isn't stolen, or just useless. When, well that's a different matter, but it WILL get up sooner or later. Yeah not tonight, or tomorrow, or even this month, and maybe you can't stand that fact...tough. When we use the photo, we send out e-mails letting you know that it will be included in the next update.
I sincerely appreciate everyone of you who take the time to help expand this website by sending in photos, even those who feel the need to get a shitty attitude about it. However patience is a virtue around these parts, and blowing up and demanding I add your photos (especially after a preposterously short amount of time like less than a week), or sending me a snide ass e-mail "thanking" me for never using your photograph doesn't help.

04:06 pm - Fighting Through
As most of our more tech savvy, or just informed visitors know there have been a spate of hacking attacks on major websites in the past several weeks. While these attacks never effected our site directly, or the ability to access it, it did effect my abilities to get into both our photo servers as well as the "back rooms" of the website to directly edit it. But we have persevered through the troubles and I have been able to finally complete the update I have been working on since the beginning of the month.
As always it seems I have to do this every 6 months or so...We can't accept, nor will we knowingly use photos that the contributor did not take him/herself. Their are exceptions when a contributor has direct permission to forward the photos from the original photographer, but these exceptions are rare, and most be cleared through me via direct contact with the original photographer. So in closing. STOP STEALING STUFF!! Sheesh! You get as tired of reading it, as I do of typing it, but every so often we need to remind the handful of people who don't grasp the concept.

11:45 pm - Happy Birthday to MEEEEEEEEEEE!
Greetings everyone! It's time for the annual July Birthday update! Yes, every year instead of raking in the cash & prizes it seems I give back to the people who support the website by adding another update to the system. This update has photos from several contributors, as well as over 130 photos from a trip I took to South Texas in February of 2007. So for everyone who sends in photos and they take awhile to get up, don't feel bad, I'm over 2 years behind on my own photos ;)
Of special notice in this update, we welcome Tracy Wilson (guy) to our Pick of the Week Crew. Also in this update Rebecca (not a guy) took her first foray into web editing this weekend, and added most of those 130 Texas photos.
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!

01:17 am - Over 25,000!
Well folks we have creaked across yet another impressive milestone this evening. Within this update the photo content of the website exceeds 25,000 photos! I've been working odd hours, am half asleep, and I can't think of much more to say here other than THANK YOU to everyone who's helped make that number possible. We also crossed over the 6,500 agency mark as well. Heading into summer, time for those roadtrips! I will be doing a little cross-state searching this weekend myself in the Reading, PA area, finally nice weather and long daylight hours here in the Commonwealth.

Hope everyone is enjoying the un-official start of summer. Also hope everyone took time today to remember those who gave their lives for this country so you could enjoy this long weekend. Thanks to all those who visit this site who have served or are serving the United States.
My long weekend has allowed me to get another update up for everyone. We took about 200 photos down in D.C. this year, that's about 1/2 of the normal amount. The impacts to municipal budgets was very evident.
Anyway in between BBQs and getting some laps in your freshly opened pools enjoy this update.

11:21 pm - A Vermonting We Will Go!
Hello everyone and welcome to Pre-D.C. Week Update. That's right time has flown around the calender nearly 365 days and it's almost time to head back down to our nation's capitol for National Police Week. We'll be down for a customary week, although a business week rather than a full week this year. Economy being what it is, I couldn't get a 9 day break this year, only 6, so we'll miss the Law Ride, but be there for everything else. The missing 2 days is only really going to effect our ability to work outside of D.C. events in Maryland & Virginia, and I'm still working on what things would have priority.
This update is a big dose of maple-ly goodness in the form of Vermont. 17 new agencies from the Green Mountain State, as well as some other stuff spread around to keep the flow of photos going along.

Please keep in mind this blog exists soley to inform users and viewers of this website on what has been updated on this site. I keep my beliefs and views off of here as much as possible. You're political statements, views, stories of abuse, complaining about getting a ticket, or just being anti-cop/anti police in anyway are not and will not be tolerated.
You want to do that, make you own blog, and get your own viewership. I'm a benovelant dictator, not your beacon of 1st Amendment rights ;)

11:18 pm - Something Smaller?
Hey everyone, this is the first update in an experiment to make the size of the update smaller, and therefore more often. The problem lies in uploading the photos to our server and then making sure the "slot" they are saved in is stable and can be linked onto the site without the photo disappearing. Of course all of this can be undone by my sloth ;)
We attended the public memorial in Pittsburgh last week for the three officers we lost. I say we, because I am a resident of SW PA, and these senseless killing really hit home that this type of tragedy really can happen anywhere. I took over 700 photos prior to attending the services, and this was by far the largest funeral I have ever seen/photographed. Excellent job by the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police & Philadelphia who organized and pulled off this event in a crowded downtown area as smoothly as could be expected. The support from law enforcement was overwhelming, and I am proud of my fellow "public" citizens who came out 3-4 deep in some places to see the procession.

10:25 pm - Overdue Update...Coming Thru!!
Greetings from the 6th Anniversary of the National Police Car Archives! Time flies when you're having fun, and it's hard for me to believe that another year has come and gone. Once again thanks go out to everyone who both contribute photos, and just visit the site for making us the most successful, most visited Law Enforcement Vehicle website around.
In just the last few days I have noted that we are now a reference source for several Wikipedia pages, as well as being the #2 result on Google for "police car". Can't be those kind of examples of growth!
As we go through our 6th year I would like to remind everyone, yet again, that we don't accept photographs from "internet sources". This is the easiest hobby in the world, all it requires is a camera, a mode of transportation, and the ability to ask a police officer if you can take a photograph of a police vehicle. It's not hard, it's not illegal, it's not rocket science, it's also not a hobby for the lazy...nor will you be recognized here for you laziness. Especially when you send me photographs THAT I TOOK MYSELF! *cough*
I'm not going to turn this into a pity-party for me, as I enjoy providing this forum for research, development and enjoyment for both the public and law enforcement. But I am well aware of how much I spent last weekend to spend three days in NW Virginia photographing dozens of agencies across VA & WV. I can extrapolate that to all the Senior Contributors here who go beyond their local cities & counties and travel their states and regions to provide subject matter for this site. It isn't cheap, and it severely turns people off to this hobby when you take their hard work, steal it, and then submit it as your own. There are only so many people out there who are "true" photographers of Law Enforcement Vehicles, you can either become one of us, or take from us. Ask yourself which side of that ledger you'd prefer to be on if you were in our shoes.
On a more positive note, we will again see expansive growth in Year 6. Gas prices have come down substantially from last summer, however the economy is probably keeping more people at home than it did last year from an employment/spending angle. We will be back in D.C. again in 2009, but I don't know what the summer/fall will hold in regards to shows/events we will attend. Our backlog of photos is still as strong as ever. I personally have over 1,000 photos I need to add to the site.
Finally our prayers again go out to the men, women, friends & family of those fine officers at the Oakland, California Police Department who lost their lives this weekend.

11:02 am - An Update Just in Time...
Just in time for Valentine's Day that is!! That's right time to cuddle up with a loved one and check out all that is new and interesting on the National Police Car Archives. Or you can look at it, that while Friday the 13th is unlucky, lucky you gets an update...
*cough*
We done with cliched jokes? Good. In this update we are adding 78 new agencies to the website, the majority being in Florida and New Hampshire. I have almost the entire next update in the can already. I would like to start getting the updates to flow out more than once every 6 weeks. I don't know that weekly is reasonable, but at least twice a month is my current aim.

01:44 am - Happy New Year!
Happy Holidays to everyone out there. I know I missed a rare Christmas update for everyone, usually that is my gift to all of you out there. But it was a hectic month at work (which is a good thing), combined with a massive update and it just couldn't get done in time. But fear not we are still here and kicking! So this turned into the first update of 2009, it is over 400 photos and adds 48 new departments. I already have over 300 photos on deck to be edited for the next update...it never ends...not that I'm complaining.
Our recent updates have taken the site over the 35% coverage mark. For those of you who have recently found our site, this means we have photographs of more than 35% of all law enforcement agencies within the United States. We recently relocated our HQ (which is another excuse for a delay in the update) so our address has been updated to reflect our new PO Box if you need to get things to us via the USPS. All right enough chit-chatting time for the information! Enjoy your weekends, stay warm, stay safe, and let's have a great 2009.

04:08 pm - An Update & Condolences
Hello everyone. In this update I have finally added the photos from National Police Week of 2007. I know!! I'm that far behind in my own photos too. 2008 somehow made the site right of way this summer, but 2007 has been languishing all this time. I was past this on the contributed photos, and felt it was only fair to catch my own photos up to date a little bit.
We're sending out our condolences today to the friends, family and co-workers of South Strabane Township Police Officer Nathaniel Burnfield was who struck and killed in a tragic accident on Tuesday. He was returning from a training session at a local college when he and two fellow officers came acros road debris that had already damaged a vehicle and had stopped traffic. As Officer Burnfield removed the debris and attempted to return to his police vehicle he was struck by a dumptruck that had swerved onto the shoulder to avoid stopped traffic. The driver of the dumptruck was also killed after his vehicle struck the rear of a parked tractor trailer that had been damaged by the road debris. Office Burnfield was also a part-time officer with the Borough of East Washington, as well as a Lieutenant with the Canton Township Volunteer Fire Department. The memorial services will be held Monday (11/10) at 0930 at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Washington, PA. We in the Western side of Pennsylvania have been very fortunate to not have any Line of Duty Deaths recently, Officer Burnfield is the first officer lost in the history of South Strabane Township.
We'll get back to contributed photos in the next update to start thinning that mailbox out again. Hope everyone enjoys this batch, I am on vacation this week. Between the memorial services and a planned 3 day trip to Central PA this coming week I will be loaded back down with photographs by next weekend.

12:18 am - Thanks Everyone!
Just wanted to post a quick message to everyone thanking them for their dedication to the website. From our staff, to our contributors, and especially to those of you who visit the site. We keep track of our traffic, but rather than for advertising, I look at it from a personal pride prospective.
When I say we are the #1 Source of Law Enforcement Vehicle Photography, I want everyone to know that isn't just me tooting our horn, it is fact. We use the same traffic tracking company that Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft and others use to track their traffic and we can back up our claim.
So thanks to everyone who stops by, we get 1-2k people a month more than the other two major police car websites, and you've all pushed us well into the top 250,000 websites on the internet. Not just the PA, or the US, but the world. When I started this website 5 1/2 years ago if you would have told me we would be more popular than Ryan Seacrest's Official Website (the host of American Idol) I think I woulda laughed at you, to be in the top .003% of the entire internet...well I think I would have thrown you out of my house.
Thanks everyone, we wouldn't be this successful without your support!!

09:39 pm - Finally
After a few weeks of laptop problems (looks like it might be time to consider a replacement), going everywhere in the US that doesn't have an internet connection and other excuses you really don't care about, I present an update! Over 200 photos, adding in 65 new agencies, there's something for everyone. Unless you're in a state I didn't update, then you're probably all "He never adds photos from around me"...think about that, and then go use your camera.
I can hear the screams to stop being witty and get to the pictures already...so without further delay...

03:44 am - How Far We've Come
The following is a state-by-state breakdown of how far along we are in completing all the states on the website. These numbers reflect current displayed content, not offline photos. So these percentages tend to skew somewhat to significantly higher. For example Alaska only has 1 department (Alaska State Troopers), whereas we have a new load of photos from Alaska via Samuel Smith and Erik Young. Incidentally congrats to Erik, who got married at the end of July. Someone poke me occasionally and I'll update this list every month or so...
