California Man Arrested After UAS Strikes Police Helicopter
FBI special agents arrested a 22-year-old man on Nov. 19, alleging he recklessly operated an unmanned aircraft that crashed into a Los Angeles Police Department helicopter. The man was arrested on a misdemeanor count of unsafe operation of a drone in what’s believed to be the nation’s first criminal case of its kind. The man’s arrest came during National Drone Safety Awareness Week, an initiative sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration.
According to reports, LAPD officers were dispatched on a burglary call to a Hollywood pharmacy and requested air support. As a department helicopter approached the pharmacy, the pilot saw the UAS and attempted to evade it. The drone struck the helicopter, forcing the pilot to initiate an emergency landing. The drone damaged the helicopter’s nose, antenna and bottom cowlings, according to court papers, which further stated, “If the drone had struck the helicopter’s main rotor instead of the fuselage, it could have brought the helicopter down.”
LAPD officers located parts of the UAS near the pharmacy and discovered the falling debris damaged a vehicle. Further investigation led to identifying the suspect as the drone’s operator, prosecutors said. The FBI executed additional search warrants in late October at the man’s home, and he admitted to launching the UAS on after he heard police vehicles and an approaching helicopter. The unsafe operation of an unmanned aircraft offense alleged in the complaint is a misdemeanor carrying a sentence of up to a year in federal prison, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Brazilian Highway Police Contracts to Purchase Six New Helicopters
 The Brazilian Federal Highway Police has contracted with Leonardo to buy six AW119Kx helicopters. The first of the single-engine helicopters will arrive in early 2021, with all aircraft delivered by June of next year. The Brazilian Federal Highway Police Air Operations Division intends to operate the AW119Kx helicopters across Brazil for a variety of missions, including transport, rescue, emergency medical service, firefighting, surveillance and law enforcement.
The AW119Kx light utility helicopter is IFR-certified by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, but the Brazilian police force will operate it via a VFR Garmin G1000NXi glass cockpit. Each helicopter will feature electro-optical and infrared cameras, rescue hoists, cargo hooks, Bambi buckets, rappelling kits and advanced communication systems. The helicopters can carry six passengers and are powered by a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6B-37A turbo shaft engine.

Utah DPS Helicopter Crew Spots Mysterious Monolith
 A Utah Department of Public Safety (DPS) aircrew stumbled upon a mysterious metal monolith in the middle of rural, southeastern Utah in mid-November. Utah DPS Aero Bureau officers were helping the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources count bighorn sheep when they saw the hunk of metal. “One of the biologists…spotted it, and we just happened to fly directly over the top of it,” Pilot Bret Hutchings said. “He was like, ‘whoa, whoa, whoa, turn around, turn around!’”
The silver monolith they had found sticking out of the ground quickly caught the attention of media across the country. Hutchings guessed it was “between 10 and 12 feet high.” He said it didn't look like it was randomly dropped, but rather that it had been planted. Hutchings guessed an artist had placed the structure in the desert. The monolith disappeared from its place in the rocks about one week after the Utah DPS aircrew discovered it.

Georgia Department Launches UAS First Responder Program
The Brookhaven (GA) Police Department has proposed a first responder unmanned aircraft program, and the local city council approved the proposal on Oct. 27. The concept is based on the Chula Vista (CA) Police Department’s nationally recognized model and aims to gather critical law enforcement information on calls for service, emergency situations and criminal investigations. BPD plans to operate at least four drones.
 BPD currently relies on the DeKalb County Police Department and Georgia State Patrol Aviation Unit for manned helicopter support. The helicopters can take up to 30 minutes to arrive on-scene and have some availability limitations. “Now, rather than enter a crime scene with active danger, officers can send in a drone to gather critical information,” BPD Lieutenant Abrem Ayana said. “Currently, officers are forced to rely on third-hand information passed through dispatch from 911 where the caller is, understandably, often unreliable and emotional. For incidents where the drone is first on the scene, the average response time could be as little as 90 seconds.”
BPD’s UAS fleet is composed of a DJI Matrice 300 RTK capable of 55-minute flight times and equipped with a thermal imager and spotlight, DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual equipped with a thermal imager, Autel EVO II with a high-resolution camera, and DJI Mavic Mini for training.

San Bernardino Sheriff Rescues, Helps Arrest Arson Suspect
 A San Bernardino County (CA) Sheriff's Department helicopter rescued an arson suspect trapped above a vegetation fire on Nov. 1 before the man was arrested, authorities said. In addition to the 34-year-old suspect, the aircrew rescued one other individual.
The arson suspect had been trapped by the Cypress Fire, which erupted in southern Fontana and prompted multiple 911 calls for trapped hikers. The Fontana Police Department requested assistance from the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Aviation Unit, and the crew of 40 King 6 responded to the scene. The crew located the suspect standing on a large boulder surrounded by heavy smoke and fire and determined his life was in immediate jeopardy. The crew's flight officer transitioned to the back seat, stepped onto the helicopter skid and directed the pilot into position. The TFO pulled the man into the helicopter, and the crew flew away from the fire and detained the suspect until officers arrived to take custody of him.
The aviation crew continued searching for additional hikers around the Cypress Fire and rescued a 22-year-old man stranded near the blaze’s right flank. Two additional San Bernardino County Sheriff's helicopters, 40 King 3 and 40 King 5, assisted with numerous water drops over the fire, which burned about 130 acres until air and ground crews contained it.

Quebec Acquires Used Airbus H145 for Law Enforcement
 Sûreté du Québec (SQ), the provincial police service for the Canadian province, has purchased a pre-owned Airbus H145 to serve in a law enforcement role. The force has operated Bell helicopters for many years. “We were surprised to learn that a Quebec builder had not been considered and that there had been no call for tenders,” Bell Spokesperson Patricia Bergeron told local media. Émilie Lord of the Quebec Ministry of Transport said the decision was made because the used helicopter could be in service by the end of the year, where a new aircraft would have taken two to three years.
The H145 replaces a Bell 206LT TwinRanger that SQ acquired in 1994. The helicopter suffered a serious accident in January 2020. The department also flies a Bell 206B JetRanger purchased in 1980 and a Bell 412 added to the fleet in 2002.

Man Convicted of Shining Laser at SDPD Chopper During Protest
 A 25-year-old California man who aimed a laser pointer at a San Diego Police Department Air Support Unit helicopter during a police protest this summer is facing a maximum possible sentence of five years in prison following his conviction by a federal jury, the U.S. Attorney's Office said last month. The man shone the laser at the chopper multiple times over the course of an hour as he marched with protesters through downtown San Diego. The count of aiming a laser pointer at an aircraft carries a maximum possible sentence of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 22.
U.S. Attorney Robert Brewer called the result "a very important verdict" and said, "This kind of crime could have a disastrous impact if a pilot's sight is compromised. We support the Constitutional rights of free speech and assembly, but the rule of law must be respected. It's there for a reason -- to protect the public and law enforcement from danger."

Sarasota Sheriff’s Deputy and Veteran Dies From Lung Cancer
Stephen Shull, 42, a helicopter pilot and deputy with Sarasota County (FL) Sheriff’s Office Aviation Unit, succumbed to metastatic lung cancer last month, leaving behind a wife, four children and law enforcement colleagues who “are devastated right now,” according to Sheriff Tom Knight.
 “Steve was the ultimate professional, just like what you would expect from a veteran who served in the Middle East in combat to protect this nation. People who perform their duties with the ethics and integrity of Steve Shull are contagious – people want to be around folks like that,” said Knight. “Guys like Steve are few and far between.”
Upon retiring from the Coast Guard and Army, Shull beat out 150 applicants for a SCSO job as a pilot/deputy sheriff in 2014. Shull received an outpouring of community support in 2016 when an article described his last battle, against what would ultimately prove to be a terminal diagnosis. The cause of his lung cancer came from ingesting fumes from military toxic-waste disposal burns. Groups such as Operation Second Chance and anonymous donors alike rallied to mitigate Shull’s dire financial straits to seek treatment. Shull’s long ordeal included clinical trials of new treatments, chemotherapy, radiation, targeted therapy and immunotherapy.
His widow, Katie Shull, is supporting a bill to grant presumptive compensation for veterans who can produce papers showing they were deployed to burn-pit locations, and that their afflictions fall under 12 proposed qualifying illnesses, including cancer. A Congressional Burn Pit Caucus led by U.S. Rep. Paul Ruiz, M.D. and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is pushing the legislation. “This is a moral outrage,” said Gillibrand, after collaborating on the bill’s language in September. “It’s also a looming crisis that must be addressed. Burn pits are so dangerous that they are outlawed on U.S. soil, but they were used all over the world.”
A GoFundMe account has been established to help the Shull family with their expenses at https://www.gofundme.com/f/shull-family-support. Any donations are appreciated.

NSW Aviation Command Moves Into New Headquarters
 The New South Wales (NSW) Police Force Aviation Command has officially opened its new headquarters at the Bankstown Airport in Sydney, Australia. The national police commissioner and minister were joined by a host of dignitaries to inaugurate the facility in early November.
Established in 1979, the NSW Aviation Command has been providing aerial support to police operations and assisting with aviation investigations for more than four decades. The command was initially based at Sydney’s Kingsford-Smith Airport, before relocating to Bankstown in 1991, where it was housed in three World War II hangars. Over the years, NSW Aviation Command’s fleet has grown, resulting in operational requirements exceeding the previous base’s capabilities.
The new facility integrates the hangar, maintenance, operations, training and administration functions in a single standalone structure. The modern facility complies with new civil aviation safety regulations and allows for improved accessibility, visibility and mobility in policing operations. “The police aviation command’s current fleet of five helicopters and three fixed-wing aircraft are now suitably housed in this top-quality aviation policing facility,” Police Minister David Elliott said. “As part of the NSW government’s commitment to a well-equipped police force, the fleet will undergo further modernization over the next year, when it takes possession of three new Bell 429 helicopters…Not only is this purpose-built, 25,000 square-meter facility designed for the current and future requirements of the aviation command, it offers enhanced capabilities to their delivery of aerial policing services across the state.”

New York Aviation Unit Helps Rescue Women Lost in Nature Preserve
 The Nassau County (NY) Police Department Aviation Unit helped rescue two women lost in a Long Island nature preserve in early November. The woman said they became lost after dark and could not find their way out of the woods. The preserve on Long Island is 423 acres and includes a lake, streams and numerous footpaths, many heavily wooded. The two New York City residents called 911 as the sun set, and the aviation unit responded. “We launched from here at approximately 6:30 in the evening,” said Lieutenant Joe Grella, commanding officer of the Nassau County Police Seventh Precinct.
Once on-scene, Officer Gregory Millwater activated the helicopter’s infrared sensor to help locate the panicked women. “Once I located them on the infrared, my pilot actually spotted their cell phone waving, and then I already had them on the camera,” Millwater said. The victims were found on a muddy path near a fishing stream. The 63- and 64-year-olds said they were grateful to the Nassau County Police Department and its helicopter.

Georgia Man Accused of Pointing Laser at Police Helicopter
 The Gwinnett County (GA) Police Department arrested a man in mid-November after he confessed to pointing a laser at a police helicopter “for fun.” Police charged the 47-year-old with obstruction and laser use against an aircraft, both misdemeanors. His case was also referred to the Federal Aviation Administration and U.S. Attorney for possible prosecution, Gwinnett police spokesman Corporal Collin Flynn said in a news release.
According to police, the Gwinnett County helicopter was searching for a stolen car when the cockpit was struck by a green laser. The crew recorded video of the suspect shining the laser from a house and guided ground troops to the address. The man admitted to officers he had pointed the laser at the helicopter after being told he was caught on video. “Pointing a laser at an aircraft is extremely dangerous, as it can hinder the pilot’s ability to handle the aircraft and interfere with the equipment onboard,” Flynn said. “The police department wants the general public to know that this is unlawful.” The man was booked into the Gwinnett County Jail and released on a $1,850 bond.

PNP Receives Three More Helicopters
 The Philippine National Police (PNP) took delivery of three new helicopters last month. The agency expects to use the aircraft in rescue, relief and medical evacuation operations, as the country has been hit with a series of strong weather disturbances in the past few weeks. Major General Angelito Casimiro, head of the PNP Directorate for Logistics, said the three Airbus H125 helicopters give the national police force 10 total air assets. Casimiro said the helicopters are undergoing field testing and evaluation prior to entering service.
PNP recently has used helicopters to distribute relief goods to isolated areas hit by Typhoon Ulysses. The agency now a total of seven H125s, two Robinson 44 trainers and one C150 fixed-wing aircraft. In July, former Chief Archie Francisco Gamboa revived a pilot training course for members of the PNP Special Action Force, which operates all the agency’s aviation assets. The department has so far produced 11 pilots, with 14 others undergoing training. PNP formerly operated 11 air assets, but one aircraft crashed in March, resulting in the death of a police general.

Video: Trick or Treaters Hit Police Helicopter With Laser
 Members of the Lee County (FL) Sheriff’s Office Aviation Unit reported being struck by a green laser while responding to a call on Halloween night. “I can’t begin to explain how dangerous it is to put our aviation crew members in jeopardy by pointing a laser light at their eyes,” Sheriff Carmine Marceno said. “Any person who intentionally tries to harm my family members will go to jail.”
Three trick or treaters shined a laser pointer at a police helicopter providing community security. See video of the laser strike here. The aircrew’s TFO determined the laser came from three individuals walking through a neighborhood. The pilot and TFO tracked the subjects and advised ground units they were standing in a driveway getting candy. Patrol deputies quickly responded, took the three male suspects into custody and charged them with misuse of a laser, a third-degree felony.

West Haven Public Safety Departments Receive UAS Donation
The West Haven (CT) Fire Department recently received an unmanned aircraft to be shared among the city’s three fire stations and police department. PropelUAS and the National Public Safety Drone Donation Program partner to provide free drones to departments in need, and the West Haven Fire Department submitted a successful proposal.
 Center Fire Station Chief James P. O’Brien said the technology is a “tremendous tool” for fire services and police. O’Brien said his department has worked with the nearby Orange Volunteer Fire Department to learn more about UAS operations. O’Brien expects the donated UAS to be helpful for shoreline search and rescues, documenting the shore before and after storms, searching for missing persons in the woods and flying into potentially dangerous areas after fires.
O’Brien said the new Autel EVOII UAS is state-of-the-art but will need thermal imaging and night vision cameras, and the department is looking for additional funding through grants and other means. The department has been training with a drone and has one licensed FAA Part 107 UAS pilot on staff.

Man Arrested for Pointing Laser at Victoria Police Helicopter
 The Victoria Police in Australia arrested a man for pointing a laser at one of the department’s helicopters in early November. The Australian government banned laser pointers in 2008 primarily to reduce the danger to pilots. According to reports, the aircrew determined the laser’s origin and directed ground troops to the suspect’s residence. The man locked himself in his home, but officers entered through the back door and engaged in a struggle with the 43-year-old. Police said the laser was found hidden in the suspect’s freezer. The man was arrested on suspicion of endangering the safe operation of an aircraft, reckless conduct endangering life, possessing a prohibited weapon, assaulting police and resisting arrest.
