PCC Says Cost of Police Helicopters "Cannot be Justified"
Wiltshire's Police and Crime Commissioner, Philip Wilkinson, has stated that the cost of maintaining a helicopter service cannot be justified.
According to new usage statistics, the National Police Air Service's helicopter or fixed-wing aircraft attended 1,650 incidents in the South West, including 139 in Wiltshire, last year.
- 1,650 incidents in the South West
- 139 incidents in Wiltshire
- 4,163 drone missions in the region
- 765 drone missions in Wiltshire
The stats prove that the millions of pounds paid by South West police forces to NAPS can no longer be justified.
PCC Philip Wilkinson is campaigning for the five South West police forces to exit their open-ended contract with the National Police Air Service.
