About the Ebook
Aviation in law enforcement has never been more critical than it is today. More than once an aircraft—be it fixed-wing or helicopter—has been responsible for isolating the bad guy and keeping him at bay while ground forces close in. With today’s sophisticated and technologically-equipped criminal, every resource must be brought to bear in the painstaking art of gathering evidence and ultimate apprehension.
Aircraft and piloting in law enforcement is a resource that cannot be underestimated. Today, as historically, fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters are utilized in a variety of missions, ranging from surveillance to transporting criminals. Police pilots are a breed unto themselves and are forever endangered not only by the nature of their missions but by the prospect of inclement weather and precarious terrain. From a raid on a marijuana field high in the Siskiyous to tracking an erratic Interstate getaway, police pilots and their aircraft play an indispensable role in achieving desired results.
