I think the nominator is a little too speedy on the delete tag. He should try rewriting the sentences that he thinks are copyrightable instead of slapping on a delete tag. You can't copyright facts, and putting facts in chronological order is not a copyrightable concept either. Copyediting is harder than adding a tag, but more useful. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 06:36, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thats not the way WP works. You are never supposed to add copied articles onto WP in the first place. Wickethewok 06:39, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So long as you edit it down to bare non-copywritable facts you can.

If you are taking care of it, thats great. Wickethewok 06:48, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Papd.jpg

Image:Papd.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ---Security Police?--- Why is the Port Authority Police Department list as "security police agency"? As far as I know they are a full service police agency. Matthewbrownny (talk) 21:38, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple source issues

This article largely relies on information from the organization's own website (and many of those links are now dead). There are only a handful of third party sources. If the self-published sources are removed perhaps 90% of this article about a notable and important organization is completely unsourced. I do not have the expertise to find suitable sources myself so I tagged it so subject matter experts may weigh in. Sincerely, Veriss (talk) 05:33, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Line of Duty Deaths

The date on the death of "K-9 Sirius" has not happened yet. I think you mean September 11,2001 not 2011. Calebjohnston28 (talk) 20:31, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Using the word "brave"

On Nov. 4, 2013, an editor added the line "the Port Authority Police Department suffered the worst loss of life ever in a single event in the history of policing in the United States of America. On 9/11/2001 37 brave police officers entered the World Trade Center and lost their lives saving others." Yesterday, User:CTF83! removed the word "brave", calling it a WP:PEACOCK. I reverted the edit. That editor then reverted my edit, and a discussion continued on my talk page. I'd like to avoid an edit war, and am asking for the input of other editors so that we can reach consensus on whether to include the word "brave" to describe the actions of those dead officers. Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:51, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

PAPD vehicles

Next to the piece about vehicles (Currently, the department utilizes numerous vehicles in its fleet including Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptors, Chevrolet Impalas, Chevrolet Suburbans, Dodge Chargers, and Harley Davidson motorcycles. The department also utilizes numerous boats.), there is no mention of a Jeep being utilized, though the picture right next to this piece is a PAPD Jeep. Should the Jeep picture be removed (since they're going extinct with the PAPD), or should the Jeep be added to the list of vehicles? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Luckiest0522 (talk • contribs) 19:36, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Crown Vics are on their way out as well... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.195.3.64 (talk) 04:30, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

By now (2020) they are gone. I think the chargers are gone. Impalas are becoming rare. Older Tahoes are being replaced with Ford Explorers (PI Utility). Many of those have ghost graphics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.195.3.64 (talk) 20:06, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Question about NJ authority

I know that 40A:14-152.1 specifically talks about how municipal or county law enforcement in NJ have statewide jurisdiction. Would that same statute apply to the PAPD in NJ? They are different from municipal/county police, and I fail to find any answers from searching online. The same question would apply to any institutional law enforcement in NJ. 108.49.119.9 (talk) 14:00, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
