The Force multiplier in Law Enforcement

In the United States, police dub them “force multipliers”. Why? Because three men in a helicopter can do the work of dozens on the ground. And do it more safely and cost-effectively, too.

Mission Presentation

With 12,000 helicopters delivered in 133 countries, Eurocopter supplies nearly one third of the world’s rotorcraft fleet. Helicopters flying routine patrols over U.S. cities average two felony arrests a day, arrests that would not have been made otherwise.

In Europe, when crowds or demonstrations grow unruly, helicopters discreetly ferry crowd-control police into position so as to avoid provoking violence that might put ground personnel at risk.

In the U.K., helicopters are routinely used in high-speed car chases, avoiding major risks of accidents to police vehicules and officers on the ground. Whether it is for city, state or highway police, mobile customs and excise units, border patrol, coast guard, drug enforcement, SWAT units or searches for missing people (the list goes on…), Eurocopter provides helicopters that fit the variety of missions carried out in every category of law enforcement.
