The 729,000-acre Big Cypress National Preserve is one of the worst places in Southeast Florida to get lost, and it happened to a 90-year-old hunter on Nov. 14. He survived the ordeal without serious injury despite wandering alone for hours among the alligators, venomous snakes and Florida panthers known to roam the swamp.
Aerial video released by the Collier County Sheriff’s Office Aviation Bureau shows the hunter was spotted trying to push his way through a wall of bushes and swamp grasses. The location was roughly four miles from the nearest road. Due to the density of the cypress forest, specialists with the North Collier Fire Control and Rescue District had to be lowered from a helicopter. They strapped the hunter into a harness and he was hoisted to safety, the Sheriff’s Office said.
The rescue happened more than seven hours after the man “split from another hunter he had been with” and vanished into the swamp. The hunter’s identity and condition were not released, but the video shows he was bleeding from the wrist when pulled into the helicopter.
“This is a terrific example of the teamwork our members and fellow first responders perform every day to keep our community safe,” Collier County Sheriff Kevin Rambosk said. “We are thrilled that we were able to help this hunter return to safety.”

Aviation visionary Frank Robinson, 92, passed away on November 12, leaving behind six children, a company of over 1,000 employees and a forever-changed helicopter industry. Robinson founded the Robinson Helicopter Company in 1973 where he defied the opinions of aviation leaders and opened a previously untapped market for private ownership through his signature R22, R44 and R66 model helicopters.
“He was captivated with helicopters and really wanted to develop that as a personal transport and the rest is history,” said his son Kurt Robinson. “He really did have a true love of the industry. Aviation was in his blood.” Frank developed his fascination with helicopters at the tender age of 9 when he saw a photo in the local newspaper of Igor Sikorsky hovering his VS300 Prototype helicopter. That image stuck with Robinson and drove the course of his career and life.
In 1957, he earned a BSME degree from the University of Washington and later attended graduate school at the University of Wichita. He went on to work in engineering at the Cessna Aircraft Company, McCulloch Motor Company, Kaman Aircraft, Bell Helicopter and Hughes Helicopter Company. However, he was unable to interest any of his employers in his concept for a small, low-cost consumer helicopter. The prevailing opinion, at the time, was that helicopter market was for the military only. Robinson set out to prove them wrong.
“He was a very determined person who didn’t accept no; whenever he was faced with a challenge, he found a way to push on,” Kurt said. The R22 received its hard-fought FAA approval in 1979 and went on to become the most popular civilian helicopter worldwide. In the mid-1980s, Robinson began development on the four-seat piston-powered R44 helicopter, which hit the market in 1993 and eventually outsold the R22. It was so popular that he went on to build a specialized police version.
In 2010, the company once again expanded its line with the five-seat turbine-powered R66 helicopter. In each model, Robinson played an integral role in the engineering and development. “If you asked Frank who he is, the first thing he would tell you is he’s an engineer,” said Kurt. “Not the president of Robinson Helicopter, not the founder, he was an engineer. He handled everything as an engineering problem and something to solve.”
To date, the company has delivered more than 13,000 helicopters for flight training, law enforcement, newsgathering and tourism. “His legacy was to develop a low-cost reliable helicopter, that was more affordable, that more people could own in order to expand the industry,” said Kurt. “We intend to go on for many, many more years, so he’s left a real legacy. We’re on our mission and we will keep going forward.”

A new drone command van unveiled last month is set to help Hamilton County first responders streamline search and rescue missions, crime scene investigations and other operations. The vehicle is the first of its kind to be used by law enforcement in Tennessee, according to the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office (HCSO).
Hamilton County has used drones since 2016, Sheriff Austin Garrett said. Eighteen pilots from HCSO and Hamilton County Emergency Management are now certified to fly them. So far this year, the county's drone team has used the aircraft in around 670 missions for a total of nearly 500 miles flown.
The new van, an enhanced sprinter the Sheriff's Office said cost the county $168,100, will be shared by deputies and emergency responders. It's an update from the previous vehicle the office used for drone command, a 2001 work van that was modified in-house. A 15-foot mast on the van's roof boosts the command center's connection to drones and extends the drones' range, Capt. Mark Hooper said. Drones are most commonly used for search and rescue, and deputies also use them to locate suspects, map crime or accident scenes, and monitor large crowds at events.
"When you got a place that's got 10,000 people in it, and we get a report that somebody's down on the other side, we can fly that, get exactly where it's at and see, OK, what's going on," Garrett said. "It saves a lot of time." He said the drones could also protect deputies from being harmed when going into a dangerous situation.
The updated van provides first responders a safe and warm place where they can operate drones and monitor live feeds in any weather. The system could also live stream drone footage for other responders to watch even if they aren't on scene. While most of the county's drones are only equipped with cameras, some can also perform thermal imaging or drop small items like lifejackets to people in hard-to-reach places.

Police officers in the Atlanta Police Department Air Unit are flying helicopters that are nearly 50 years old. The city council approved the purchase of two new police helicopters last month, and the upgrading of a third. The decision was prompted by a briefing from the APD’s Chief Administrative Officer Peter Aman who highlighted to the council that the helicopters were available to purchase following the cancellation of an order. “We will be in the air more, we’ll be able to respond to more incidents, and we’ll be able to do so at a lower cost per hour and per year,” said Aman.
Currently, the department uses helicopters purchased in 1974, 1976, and 2001. While each has undergone upgrades over the years, Aman said that the current aircraft require more downtime, maintenance, and even more training for pilots. APD will buy those two available MD530FF helicopters and refurbish their 2001 MD500E helicopter to bring it up to the MD530FF specs. In addition to lowering the age of APD’s helicopter fleet, the acquisitions will also standardize the fleet under a single manufacturer reducing maintenance costs and timescales.
The total price tag will be just over $10.4 million that includes the two new aircraft purchases, the renovation, and the equipment necessary to put the machines into service. The department expects to deploy the new helicopters by March 2023.

Law enforcement authorities in Kansas City, Missouri are investigating a large “sideshow” with cars blocking an intersection with dozens of people on the street surrounding a car doing donuts in the middle of the road. Watch the video that was posted last month from the Kansas City (MO) Police Department.
Police recovered more than 100 shell casings from the scene that occurred the weekend of Nov. 12. Approximately 90 vehicles blocked roads, performed dangerous stunts, and discharged firearms. “Working with our helicopter, officers used stop sticks to prevent people from driving away. We issued 33 citations and towed four vehicles,” the department said.
The KCPD command staff is exploring new ways to stop illegal sideshows and street racing. "These are selfish, high-risk, dangerous events for everyone involved, including spectators. Please encourage loved ones to stay away from them," said the agency on social media.

The aircrew of the Sonoma County (CA) Sheriff’s Office rescued two adults and two children last month. The department’s helicopter, Henry-1, was dispatched after someone in Tomales Bay reported seeing two kayaks being swept out to sea.
These waves are strong enough to roll and capsize small boats and are very difficult to swim through, said Tom Nunes, Senior Fire Captain for Marin County Fire Department. “It can be challenging even for the best swimmers out there,” he said. By the time the helicopter arrived, the caller had lost sight of the kayaks.
“At that point, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack,” Nunes said. After about 10 minutes, Henry 1’s aircrew spotted a group of people with two kayaks, green and blue, on the bay’s western shore. The helicopter touched down and verified the kayakers were in need of rescue. In a video posted to the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page, personnel are seen strapping those rescued into the helicopter. “Right guys, just hang tight,” someone from the Sheriff’s Office said. “We’re going to fly over, we’ll land and I’ll get you guys out.” One of the adults gave a thumbs-up and smiled in response.
The deputies then flew the helicopter east over the bay to the Dillon Beach campground, where the kayakers started their journey. The individuals did not suffer any injuries and were not experiencing hypothermia, Nunes said. They had been wearing wet suits, dressed warmly and each had life jackets. They looked prepared for the trip, but seemed surprised by the strength of the current, Nunes said.
Other departments involved in the rescue were Marin County Parks, Coast Guard, Sonoma County Fire and the Marin County Fire Department.

Nearly five months to the day after a deadly helicopter crash took the lives of four Bernalillo County first responders, the Bernalillo County (NM) Sheriff’s Office relaunched the Metro Air Support Unit with their new addition, “Metro 2”, last month.
The 2007 AStar B3 helicopter is capable of carrying up to five people, but general patrol duties will only require two occupants. The helicopter is also capable of minimal rescue and fire bucket work. A civilian pilot will fly the aircraft to start, with a BCSO sergeant currently training to fly as well.
Sheriff Manny Gonzales III said the road to relaunching this program has been difficult, but that the maiden flight of Metro 2 is a cause for celebration. “It’s been difficult but today is a good day, it's a good day because the aircraft is going to go up today. A lot of people were uncertain about whether we were going to be able to move forward and I give all the credit to the staff. It’s been very difficult to be able to come to work everyday knowing the losses they’ve had. But they’ve come to work diligently, working hard with the thought of getting back up into the air.”
After the ceremony concluded, the helicopter lifted off for the first time and will now begin its life of service.

The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) has launched a team of five drone law enforcement officers throughout Utah to more effectively solve wildlife crimes while assisting other law enforcement agencies in their investigations and search and rescue efforts. Drones have been used in law enforcement for some time. City and county agencies use drones similarly to the way DWR will — by locating suspects, collecting evidence, and aiding in search and rescue. The DWR will also be adding trespassing incidents to its drone program.
According to DWR Captain Chad Bettridge, the drone team has been in the works for a while. By September 2022, each of the agency’s drone operators had completed Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) training and obtained their pilot licenses. “The DWR created the drone program to aid our officers with their investigations. This help can come through increased documentation of crime scenes and locating evidence,” Bettridge says. “Often, our incident scenes can be from one mountainside to another. The drone will increase our ability to document and understand how a situation may have occurred.”
Investigating illegally killed wildlife and trespassing are two major wildlife crimes that the drones will help out with, Bettridge explained. The drones can also be very effective in assisting search and rescue teams in locating lost and injured people. Each of these drone pilots is heavily involved in all DWR investigations. “Assigning the drones to the investigations team allows the pilots to better understand when the drone may be helpful and when not to use it,” Bettridge said.

The Cook County (IL) Sheriff’s Office will acquire a helicopter to track carjackers, look for missing people and offer aid during large-scale emergencies. The county’s board approved $11.4 million last month for next year’s budget to get the aircraft, according to Sheriff Tom Dart, who said the money was carried over from funds that weren’t spent in the 2022 budget. The Sheriff’s Office also has obtained a $2.5 million federal Urban Areas Security Initiative grant toward acquiring a helicopter and related equipment. “This is an incredibly important investment by the county,” Dart said. The aircraft should be operational by late summer or early autumn of 2023.
The Chicago Police Department owns two Bell helicopters, one built in 1994 and the other in 2006. But the helicopters, which it shares with the Sheriff’s Office, often are grounded for maintenance problems and don’t have the navigation equipment to fly in poor weather. The Chicago Police Department is preparing to buy two helicopters as well, according to city officials. Last month, the city’s budget director said $11.5 million was earmarked for them.
"Helicopters are a game changer, particularly in tracking carjackers and coordinating emergency response to major incidents," Sheriff Dart said. "Having a helicopter monitor carjacking offenders from the sky increases the chances of the offender being caught. Additionally, the helicopter helps avoid potentially dangerous pursuits, which reduces the chances of innocent civilians being killed or hurt by a fleeing offender," he said.
Chicago and Cook County encompass over 975 square miles made up of over 125 municipalities that are home for over 5 million citizens of Cook County.

Drones have proven to be a valuable aviation asset for law enforcement agencies across the country. The Santa Clara (CA) Police Department (SCPD) studied the use of drone technology, secured funding and developed best practices, policies and procedures for the department that were reviewed by the Chief’s Advisory Committee and approved by the City Council in 2020. Unfortunately, the pandemic and corresponding staffing and supply chain issues delayed the launch of the UAS program.
Recently, SCPD selected eight police officers to be trained and licensed by the Federal Aviation Administration, and SCPD also received certification from the FAA.
The department has purchased nine drones, four indoor and five outdoor, with different capabilities to support the various missions of the SCPD, depending on the conditions and situation. The drones are outfitted with cameras capable of taking still images and recording video. Footage captured will be retained according to the City’s established records retention schedule. In each instance, the UAS is intended to aid in the resolution of the situation at hand while also providing a valuable tool to keep officers safely out of harm’s way. In the coming months, SCPD will be blending the use of UAS with its existing operations and technology.

On Nov. 14, the Metro Nashville (TN) Police Department Aviation Unit unveiled the first of its two new Airbus H125 helicopters. The helicopters are 2022 models and represent a 50-year upgrade to the 1970s OH-58 helicopters the department has been flying to date. Spare parts for the old fleet have been a growing problem.
The helicopter was assembled in Mississippi and painted in Louisiana. It features the badge of fallen officer Eric Mumaw, who died on duty in February 2017. The next helicopter will arrive on December 19. That helicopter will feature the badge of Officer John Anderson, who died in July 2019 on duty. It will have a different identification number but will be otherwise exactly the same.
MNPD helicopters fly around 2,000 hours a year. They have a hoist system, an updated communications system that can listen to five radios at once, GPS, an autopilot in case of emergencies, a public address system, an infrared camera, a spotlight and downlink capabilities.

Last month, a 40-year-old woman from Newark, New York, slipped on ice near the summit of Mount Marcy, the state’s highest peak. She slid 30 feet before slamming into a rock, fracturing her leg. Due to her extreme location and severity of her injury, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) forest rangers called for assistance from the New York State Police (NYSP) Aviation Unit, who airlifted rangers to the site to rescue the woman.
After lowering down on a hoist to reach the injured hiker, a ranger splinted her leg and put her in a harness. Another ranger then hoisted first the hiker, then the ranger, into the chopper. The patient was flown to a medical center for surgery.
At around the same time, a 69-year-old hiker from Latham slipped on an icy, muddy slab near Saddleback Cliffs in the Essex County town of Keene, suffering a broken leg and a laceration to his calf caused by an exposed tree root. The NYSP Aviation Unit once again flew rangers to the location, guiding the injured hiker by phone as he crawled to a safe location for a hoist rescue. A ranger was lowered down to harness the man, who was then hoisted into the chopper and flown for medical care.
DEC notes that both hikers injured in the above-mentioned falls were wearing shoes fitted with micro-spikes, but with ice measuring approximately six inches thick, the micro-spikes weren’t sufficient to prevent the falls. DEC recommends hikers use crampons and an ice axe in such conditions. Furthermore, DEC added, without the help of NYSP Aviation, these two rescues would have taken many hours, delaying medical care for the two patients.

York Regional Police warned the public about an uptick in home break-ins last month, as the department had investigated 77 break-ins across York Region over a two-week period from Nov. 7-21.
YRP shared one recent incident where the suspects were caught running away with a ladder that was captured on video by a door-cam and police helicopter. The incident occurred on Nov. 12 when the homeowner received an alert from her security cameras and called the police. Officers responded on the ground with the Canine Unit and coordinated with the Air Support Unit to capture the suspects. Footage from YRP Air 2’s night vision camera captured the suspect trying to flee into the woods to evade police. The video shows the two suspects splitting up and running in different directions. Police eventually caught up with one of the suspects and took him into custody. The 30-year-old has since been charged with breaking and entering with intent and trespassing at night. The second suspect hasn’t been identified.
Officers responded to another incident the same day where the suspects tried to gain entry to a second-story window of a home by stacking patio furniture on top of a large heater. They fled when police arrived and are still outstanding.

A New York Police Department detective with the Emergency Services Unit suffered a serious leg injury after he fell 20 feet from a helicopter during a training exercise last month. The detective was supposed to fast-rope down a rope at the training facility, however, when he grabbed the rope, it became free, and he fell to the ground. The incident was caught on video.
After the fall, fellow officers can be seen running toward the fallen detective to start giving him aid. The officer was airlifted to a medical center to treat the injuries to his leg. He was conscious following the accident and is expected to recover.
It’s unclear how the detective fell. A police source told the local newspaper that the individual overseeing the fast-roping exercise was new. The source added that the accident could also have been attributed to the rope not being properly rigged or that the rope attachment point could have failed. An investigation is underway. The demonstration was part of an NYPD Hostage Negotiating Team conference.
