Airbus Gives Safety Award to Winnipeg Police Pilot

Airbus Helicopters Canada recognized Malcolm Murray, Chief Pilot of the Winnipeg Police Service, as the recipient of its 2019 Innovation in Safety Award. Airbus said Murray, a pilot for 20 years, earned the award by working to enhance aviation safety in Winnipeg and across airborne law enforcement operations.
Murray joined the Winnipeg Police Service in 2011 and assumed the role of Chief Pilot in 2012. Throughout his tenure, he has led numerous cutting-edge initiatives to target threats to aviation safety, enhance interagency communications and develop comprehensive training programs. As a founding member of the Laser Strike Working Group, Murray has helped reduce instances of aircraft being targeted by lasers. For the past six years, the program has resulted in a 40 percent reduction in laser strikes within the Winnipeg Control Zone, as well as the apprehension of multiple offenders targeting aircraft in Winnipeg. Using the same approach, Murray helped develop and implement an information sharing and response protocol to target unmanned aircraft representing a safety threat within Winnipeg. Airbus Canada’s Innovation in Safety Award is presented each year to an individual or organization whose business initiatives have demonstrated a great impact on the overall goal of safe flying operations.

First Leonardo AW169 EMS Helicopter Fleet in U.S. Operational

Leonardo announced last month that the first AW169 EMS helicopter fleet in the United States is now in service. Travis Countyʼs three AW169 EMS helicopters assist rescue efforts in south central Texas, an area with over 1.2 million people that includes Austin.
STAR Flight, Travis Countyʼs air ambulance operator, is the only 24/7 helicopter EMS provider in Texas that performs highly specialized rescues including emergency medical transport, still and swift water rescue, search and rescue, high angle rescue, fire suppression/aerial reconnaissance, and law safety assistance. Travis Countyʼs new fleet of AW169s is equipped with a rescue hoist and 300-gallon Simplex belly tank for fire suppression.
Travis County, part of Texas Hill Country, presents many geographic challenges for rescue crew. Called “Flash Flood Alley,” it is the number one location in the United States for flash flood rescues. With several lakes and rivers, access to patients is often difficult and remote. Operating a fleet of helicopters up to the task is crucial.
The AW169 features a superior cabin size — transporting up to two patients and five medical personnel plus critical care equipment — with flexible interior layouts that provide 360-degree patient access. Wide doors offer smooth and efficient patient loading, while a roomy baggage compartment stores extra equipment and stretchers. Large windows support emergency egress, and one engine-inoperative capability offers outstanding safety.

Canada Man Charged for Pointing Laser at Police Helicopter

A 41-year-old Edmonton, Canada man faces numerous charges, including assault with a weapon, after he allegedly shined a laser at a police helicopter in late October. An Edmonton Police Service Air 1 helicopter crew was flying over the north side of the city on routine patrol when it was struck several times by a blue laser. The pilot was able to find the source of the laser and direct patrol officers to the location, where they arrested the male suspect. In addition to assault with a weapon, the man was charged with mischief and breach of probation.
“Pointing a laser or any other projected light at any aircraft could result in criminal charges and/or penalties under the Canadian Aviation Regulations,” Sergeant James Pennie said.

Police Scotland Pilot Ignored Fuel Warnings Before Crash
The pilot of a Police Scotland helicopter that crashed into a bar in Glasgow in late 2013, killing 10 people including himself, ignored low fuel warnings, according to a recent Fatal Accident Inquiry (FAI) report. The crash on the night of Nov. 29, 2013, killed the pilot, Captain David Traill, two other police officers and seven customers at the bar. Another 31 people were injured. “Captain Traill consciously took a risk in proceeding on the basis that the low fuel warnings were in some way erroneous (when they were not),” Sheriff Principal Craig Turnbull said. “That decision had fatal consequences…the central issue was why Captain Traill allowed the supply tanks to deplete to the point that they did when there was more than sufficient usable fuel available to him in the main tank to allow [the helicopter] to return safely to [base].”

Richmond Police Embracing New UAS Fleet

The Richmond (VA) Police Department recently reported it has had great success with its fleet of unmanned aircraft systems, which now consists of four drones, two smaller units, which cost about $3,000 apiece, for searching inside buildings, and two larger UAS, which cost about $5,000 each, for wide-ranging searches outside. The department has trained about 20 officers to pilot the drones. “They’re small. They’re portable. They’re easily deployed, and they are relatively inexpensive,” Richmond police Captain Michael Snawder said. “This is a game changer for us.”
Before adding more drones to the fleet, Snawder said the department wants to use its existing UAS in more missions to test their abilities and the scenarios in which they can be used. Snawder said the department has used the UAS while executing three or four search warrants. The department also used a drone during a recent incident in which there was an armed suspect on the 15th story of a building. Officers told the individual to drop his weapon, and Snawder used a drone to confirm the suspect complied.

Western Australia Police to Expand UAS Unit
The Western Australia Police Force announced it would train dozens of frontline officers across the state to use a new fleet of unmanned aircraft as part of a program expansion. The statewide UAS expansion project will see the force’s remotely piloted aircraft systems unit add as many as 35 drones to its arsenal over the next two years. Having first tested UAS in 2017, the unit currently operates two unmanned platforms.
Police Minister Michelle Roberts said the new UAS would be used to support search and rescue operations, forensically map crime scenes and for other tactical operations. "These drones will support a wide range of every day police activities and be especially useful during search and rescue operations in difficult terrain," Roberts said. "They will also ensure greater safety for our officers when navigating high-risk and dangerous situations by allowing them to quickly deploy a drone to gain greater situational awareness."

Vermont State Police Launches UAS Unit

The Vermont State Police recently launched a new unit of 11 unmanned aircraft systems. The department plans to operate the UAS all over the state primarily for crash reconstruction and search and rescue missions. "It's giving us a perspective we have never had before," Trooper Tom Howard said.
Officials said more than $100,000 in grants paid for the 11 drones and training for 13 troopers to operate them. The department hopes the aircraft will reduce the time required for crash reconstruction. "This tool can map that same area that once would take three hours in seven minutes," Howard said. The UAS are fitted with thermal imaging cameras to make them more useful for SAR missions. Vermont State Police officials said the UAS could also aid in criminal investigations.

NYPD Aviation Assists on Marathon Security

The New York Police Department deployed helicopters and unmanned aircraft as part of its 49th TCS New York City Marathon security detail on Nov. 3. The marathon is one for the most famous and largest races in the world, and NYPD and other security personnel watched over 50,000 runners and millions of spectators along a 26.2-mile stretch across the five boroughs. NYPD Police Commissioner James O’Neill said the security was a general precaution, not a response to specific, credible threats. NYPD positioned 1,000 uniformed and plain-clothed officers, 600 cars and K-9 units across the city, in addition to its aviation assets.

From APSA’s Air Beat: How Do You “Market” Your Aviation Unit?

As we all know, public safety aviation units provide invaluable service to the departments and communities they serve, however, when dollars get tight, aviation units are often one of the first places considered for cuts. One of the ways to help guarantee budget survival is to create and maintain a constant awareness and appreciation for the value public safety aviation provides to the community. How does an agency do that? We’d love to hear from you about some of the ways that have been successful to “market” your aviation unit ---such as the use of social media, public displays/demonstrations, activities within your department, etc.
Please email Lisa at airbeat@publicsafetyaviation.org with any “marketing” ideas or call her at 727-343-5600. Also, APSA is in search of aviation units that would like to be featured in Air Beat magazine in 2020, so please contact Lisa if interested.

Polk County Reports Success With UAS Technology

Many law enforcement agencies in Polk County (FL) are now operating unmanned aircraft, and the Polk County Sheriff's Office (PCSO) reports the UAS have been a highly successful tool. Polk County police departments operating UAS include Winter Haven, Haines City and Lakeland. PCSO deputies have the largest volume of UAS, with a total of 20. Lakeland’s police department has six UAS, Winter Haven has four and Haines City has one.
Each Polk County department has an equivalent number of FAA-certified UAS pilots to go with its unmanned aircraft. PCSO reportedly paid about $27,000 apiece for the UAS it operates, which are capable of nighttime flight. In addition to basic video capabilities, the night UAS feature more lights, infrared capabilities and a host of sophisticated data-gathering tools, according to PCSO Master Deputy Jeff Bradford.

German Federal Police Looks to Certify EMS Operations

The German Federal Police’s (Bundespolizei’s) helicopter group is pursuing an air operator’s certificate for its emergency medical services (EMS). The Bundespolizei flies EMS helicopters owned by the federal office of civil protection and disaster assistance and featuring a distinctive orange livery. The group applied for certification five years ago in the wider commercial air transport category, but the effort has proved challenging.
The latest attempt at certification was started in response to the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) asking the Bundespolizei to operate its EMS rotorcraft under EASA rules. EASA made the request because the department is paid for the service by insurance companies, though it does not make profit, and the same pilots fly its police and EMS helicopters. “We thought, if other organizations follow stringent rules to prove their high safety standards, why should we be different? Why could we not do the same?” said Andreas Maurer, a pilot in charge of crew resource management training and leading the process of obtaining the certification.

UAS Manufacturer to Make it Easier to Track Drones

Drone producer DJI is developing a technology that would allow anyone with an internet-enabled smartphone to access information on unmanned aircraft flying in their vicinity. The technology would likely enhance safety and security, but privacy hurdles remain.
The new system would monitor drones within about 0.62 miles of the user and be compatible with most UAS made in the last few years. DJI said it expects to release the app sometime in 2020, pending regulatory approval.

Texas Units Help to Fulfill 9-Year-Old Cancer Patient's Dream

The Randall County (TX) Sheriff's Office and Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Aviation and Operational Support Divisions teamed up to help make a dream come true for a 9-year-old brain cancer patient, Aiden Alvarado. Alvarado became interested in helicopters watching them come and go while in the intensive care unit at Northwest Texas Hospital. “Aiden saw the helicopters and told us that he wanted to be a ‘helicopter rescuer’ when he grows up,” his mother Hanna said. “An artist came to the hospital and drew pictures for all of the kids receiving radiation, and Aiden’s was a Paw Patrol with a helicopter.”
SWAT officers from the Randall County Sheriff’s Office surprised Alvarado on Nov. 15 by picking him up in the Bearcat SWAT vehicle when he got out of school. Deputies drove him to the airport, where DPS Lieutenant Billy Shelton took him for a ride in the department’s helicopter. “It is extremely rewarding to be able to work with other law enforcement agencies to help Aiden achieve his dream after going through so much at such a young age,” Randall County Sheriff’s Office Captain Chris Forbis said.

Maryland Department to Buy Three UAS

The Howard County (MD) Police Department announced it plans to purchase three unmanned aircraft systems for a one-year field test, seven months after shutting down its aviation program. Officials announced in March the aviation program would end the next month due to a budgetary deficit. In May, the department formed a 20-person working group to evaluate UAS.
Howard County expects to spend $38,400 on the three UAS. “I really believe the use of drone technology will help us respond to crime scenes faster and more efficiently,” Howard Police Chief Lisa Myers said. “We want to make sure our citizens feel comfortable with us using drones.” Myers said the drones would be used in situations when “life and safety are at risk” or when there is “specific and articulable grounds” that the drones will collect evidence relating to criminal activity. The drones “will not be used for mass surveillance that could violate First Amendment-protected activities.”
Howard County’s field test will begin with as many as 10 police officers trained to operate the UAS. They will respond to incidents when a drone is needed. Staying in their current assignments, the officers will be trained as certified remote pilots and be able to deploy a drone from their vehicle, getting it to a crime scene in minutes. Myers said the field test period should begin in January 2020.

Illinois Police & Fire Department Demonstrate UAS

The Arlington Heights (IL) police and fire departments demonstrated their new unmanned aircraft for the public in early November. Police Chief Nicholas Pecora welcomed a crowd to the event, giving a brief overview of the UAS and reminding his audience the $45,000 used to purchase them came from drug seizure money. Pecora said using the drones helps officers “get home sooner and get home safer.”
The Arlington Heights fire and police departments both have FAA-trained UAS operators, and the Arlington Heights Drone Program has been granted a waiver to fly at night. During the demonstration, four pilots engaged in four scenarios, including fire reconnaissance and search and rescue. The Arlington Heights Drone Program had been up and running for approximately three weeks at the time of the demonstration.

Ohio State Patrol Uses Aviation to Fight Distracted Driving

The Ohio State Highway Patrol uses its aviation assets to scan for signs of distracted driving and, since February 2017, airborne troopers have directed more than 5,000 traffic stops and 62 distracted driving tickets. The department said the effort is not just about catching the bad behavior; even when officers can't prove distracted driving, the stops allow them to have conversations that can change behavior and make the roads safer.
"Distracted driving has the appearance of aggressive driving,” said Trooper Andrew Edinger, one of the aviation unit’s pilots. “The motorist loses track of what's going on, and all of a sudden they find themselves following too closely behind the vehicle in front of them, or they stray from their lane."

Indiana Sheriff Rescues Wandering Nursing Home Resident

A Lake County (IN) Sheriff's Department helicopter scoured railroad tracks and fields with infrared technology after an elderly woman walked out of a nursing home in early November. Surveillance footage showed the woman leaving the nursing home and rehabilitation facility in Dyer, according to the Lake County Sheriff's Department. Dyer police requested help from the Lake County Sheriff's Aviation Unit, and the helicopter was deployed to use its infrared camera to scan the area. The camera soon showed the woman, who was walking through a heavily wooded area. The helicopter hovered above the victim, providing light as officers on the ground rescued her. The woman was taken to an area hospital.

Maryland State Police Hoists Ill Passenger From Cruise Ship

A Maryland State Police helicopter performed a dramatic rescue in late October, hoisting a sick passenger from a cruise ship in the Chesapeake Bay. The U.S. Coast Guard alerted the department a 61-year-old woman was experiencing a medical emergency aboard the cruise ship, and the Maryland State Police Aviation Command out of Easton, MD, flew its AW-139 helicopter to the scene.
During the hoist operation, the helicopter hovered 120 feet above the ship’s deck while a state police paramedic was lowered to the deck, secured the woman and then both were lifted back to the helicopter. The woman was flown to the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore.
Maryland State Police Sergeant Stephen Reuter said the aviation unit performs a few hoist rescues per year. The cruise ship, which is part of a line owned by the Carnival Corporation, left Baltimore and was headed for Norfolk, VA, according to an online itinerary.
