My Submission for RMP redesign

[bohica9]

Years ago, when the job had a sense of humor, I submitted the following suggestion for a new logo design of the RMP's (I think it was around 1994 or 1995, when a Dept. Order asked for employee suggestions of new logos on the cars).  It is even more appropriate now as it could help pay for longevity, retro and raises.

I suggested that the department shrink the patch on the doors to the same size as our shoulder patch. 

I envisioned the RMP's looking like professional race cars.

This would enable the County to sell advertising space on the doors, fenders, hood, trunk and roof.  You even have space on the inside of the car (think of todays modern taxi with TV screen advertisements on the headrests). 

Think of the revenue that could be generated by putting the logo of "Peter Lugers" on the trunk of 614 

OR

 "DSW Shoes" on left front fender of 313  (You could even put a six foot high shoe on the roof)

OR

"The Coral House" on the left front door of 120 

OR

 "Zackary's" on the hood of 104

OR

"Starbucks" on the rear window of 217

OR

"DWI Attorney David P. Gallison" on the back of the right front seat headrest of a Highway car (for the drunks)

OR

Actually, the helicopters could also drag airborne banners. 

Maybe the PBA can run a "Vote for Cuomo" banner  with YOUR PAC money (Oooooops, did I just type that?)

OR

the Ambulances have room for premium size adverts, which could command double the normal rates

OR

while we are at it, mind as well sell space inside and outside of the precincts and booths.

THE SKY IS THE LIMIT FOR INCOME POTENTIAL

and

Of course, any restaurant sponsoring a RMP must take care of the post guy (no poachers)

OR

Heck, I would wear a "Hooters" hat for a 10% raise...

I never did hear back about my suggested design, submitted through Official Channels. 

Too bad, I thought it had potential and I thought I would get a day off for suggesting it as the powers then still has a sense of humor.

That's a lot better idea than the billboards. Also retire the helicopters and buy blimps, more noticeable and a lot more Ad space.

I think you could add an advertisement to the victim Crime Reports or Accident Reports printed at the Pct. Don't charge the residents, charge the sponsors. Although it might be uncomfortable at first, a small advert from Billy Deans in Bellmore on an Accident Report might be more tolerable than a tax increase on the residents. Just a thought....

In fact, imagine the revenue derived for the County if you gave an advert for a scumbag traffic lawyer with each piece of paper you drop. The County makes money to enable longevity payments with every package you drop. In fact, make it all equipment violations with correction forms. You get longevity, the County gets a taste and the lawyers get f'ed

Your problem is that you didn't go far enough. Why stop at putting decals on the PD's. We could sell the naming rights for all Departmental Facilities and wear advertising patches on the uniforms just like NASCAR. We could even sell the naming rights to everything we do, "This summons brought to you by Coca Cola", " this Arrest courtesy of Cuomo for President". Think about it. How about "The Barclay's Third Precinct" , the "Metropolitan Life Police Headquarters" or a big "Ford" patch on the back of the uniform shirt. The possibilities, as well as potential revenue, are endless.
