I have lost count of how many hundreds of times we’ve received that radio call in support of the 23 agencies we supported in the Sacramento, CA. Capitol area.  After all, the purpose of airborne law enforcement is to be a force multiplier for ground units, being their “unblinking eye in the sky”.  Our mission is to assist them in becoming more productive while helping to keep them safe.

Effective airborne law enforcement requires assets to be nearly immediately available – typical response times need to be 3 minutes or less otherwise the engagement will be over before units sitting on the ramp can spool up and get airborne.  The answer has proven to be fielding cost effective fixed wing solutions, which are far more economical to operate, can remain on station for hours and almost instantly be in a position to support ground units, even from miles away.  The dramatic advances in military grade sensor payloads have shifted the paradigm from pure rotor wing law enforcement to a mix of aircraft focusing on the mission they are best suited to address.

Please feel free to read through the following information to gain insight as to how fixed wing operations will make your air units more effective and please contact us to learn how we can assist you in doing so.

  • Good Morning Gentlemen, We have been having a lot of success with the new plane. We got it into its first couple pursuits last week. In both cases the airplanes speed and ability to fly high and wide was the deciding factor of apprehension. Motorcycles still outrun police cars.

    We have also been helping out with a lot of high profile surveillances. We have seized 64 guns, 40 kilos of drugs and helped with dozens of arrests in the last couple months. It’s amazing what agencies come out of the wood work asking for you when you have a great platform and a great aircrew.

    We were able to use the Cessna’s downlink system and portable command center to supply live video of this past weeks Festival of Lights Lighting ceremony. The plane stayed over head of the event for 4.5 hours often times providing the only video of the event to Command staff as the City’s internet connections kept failing.
