  • This paper reviews the use of the air for the police in their operations to fight crime throughout the UK. There is a description of the job of the aircrew, the role and navigation systems and the aircraft used in daily operations. There is an examination of the use of both the helicopter and fixed wing aircraft concentrating on their suitability for police operations in which the weather and cost constraints are seen to be major factors to be considered in striking the balance to obtain the best effectiveness.
