It sounds obvious – with a river like the Hudson River hugging the western border of our county - that we have to have a significant police and rescue presence along the river – but I seldom gave that presence much thought. Recently there have been a couple of “jumpers” – people threatening to jump off the Tappan Zee Bridge. But even then – I was more preoccupied with the plight of someone who would go over the edge like that. I wasn’t necessarily thinking about the police presence on the river specifically. I just assumed that “they” -whoever “they” were would try and talk that poor soul out of ending it all. No more. A few weeks ago I was walking on the Tarrytown River Walk – I happened along some of the police and rescue boats. There they were – solid proof of law enforcement and rescue workers on the River…
It just goes to show you that there will always be the need for a public sector and the maintenance of infrastructure….
