Toulon Jr., along with Undersheriff Steven Kuehhas, Undersheriff Kevin Catalina, Deputy Sheriff PBA President John Becker, and Suffolk County Correction Officer Association President Lou Viscusi hosted two consecutive ceremonies recently to pay tribute to several fallen law enforcement officers in the most unique way. At the center of attention was K9 Reis, a two-year-old dark brindle colored Dutch Shepherd from the Netherlands. He is a high-drive, strong-willed dog who exhibits a uniquely high level of courage. It’s not surprising that his handler named him Reis, a tribute to a beloved Sheriff’s Correction Officer, Andrew Reister, who was killed in 2008 while working an off-duty job. This morning, the family of Andrew Reister gathered at the Sheriff’s Office to participate in a formal naming ceremony and watch Reis demonstrate some of his talents.
Toyota taps Apex.AI for its autonomous vehicle operating system
Automakers shifting to all-electric and tech-laden vehicles have discovered that software and more aptly software that is free of bugs and can be updated wirelessly has become a consistent speed bump on the road to attracting customers. It is an issue that plagued Volkswagen’s launch of its all-electric VW ID.3, the 2022 Volvo XC40 Recharge and the Ford Mustang Mach-E.
Apex.AI, a startup founded by Bosch veterans and automated systems engineers Jan Becker and Dejan Pangercic, has spent four years rewriting the robot operating system that will give automakers the tools to integrate software within the vehicle and make sure all the applications run reliably. Now, freshly armed with a safety certification that validates its software development kit (SDK) is sophisticated enough to be used in production vehicles, Apex.AI has landed Toyota and Japanese tech startup Tier IV as partners.

COLUMBUS – A new law allows Ohioans to have liquor delivered to their homes, but it could be a while before that option is available.
House Bill 674, which took effect Monday, allows Ohio Division of Liquor Control vendors to deliver liquor in the original container. But the Liquor Control superintendent must create rules on how that will work, then vendors need to accept those new rules. That process is expected to last at least until the end of summer.
Ohioans won t need to wait as long on other changes. The new law also allows travelers to consume alcohol in more areas of Ohio s airports – if the airports governing bodies approve the change.
