Fdny stopped ride alongs for so long. As a kid I woujd buff at 331 and 173 in Howard Beach slow house I would fish and crab with our family friend until it was time to do BI or a Waldbaums run for lunch. They would feed me, give me a spot on truck or engine if there was an empty seat all I had to do was wash the rigs lol. Hard work but they had the Probies help me
