UK: Devon & Cornwall Police launch operations blog

As police forces aim to be come more accountable to the residents of the area they serve, a number of those operating helicopters have launched a page on their website to list the tasks they fly – usually as a way of minimising noise complaints.  These usually take the form of a table listing date, time, location and some sort of code to indicate the type of task – person search, car chase etc.

The UK’s Devon & Cornwall Police, responsible for the largest police area by qsuare mileage, have gone one stage further but launching a blog.  This provides a much clearer description of the tasks, but they appear to be more picky in which tasks they report on.  Check out the blog at http://helicopterblog.devon-cornwall.police.uk/

D&C were the second UK law enforcement operator to fly the Eurocopter EC145, after London’s Metropolitan Police went live with three in 2007.  These two forces have more recently been joined by the Police Service of Northern Ireland as the UK’s third EC145 operator.
