The Police Aviation Scene it the UK has been dead recently... not even a dickie bird regarding the next leaders of NPAS!
Which I may add is due for deciding soon, (like June 2024 soon!)
If a new Lead Force cannot be established and West Yorks backs out from June onwards, who is responsible? Would NPAS be able to become a specialist separate force: e.g. like Civil Nuclear Constabulary?
I have also noticed that their maintenance contract with Airbus Helicopters is also due to expire towards the end of this year, with no set fleet replacement plan in place ready for when the ultimate deadline with AH ends, (whenever that will be!!)
There have been no meeting minutes from the last half of last year uploaded to the NPAS website.
Not to mention that there is currently a very capable POLU ready for active service again, just sitting and looking pretty. Meanwhile, two bases are offline because EMID and TVHB are being utilised elsewhere. I thought the whole purpose of getting POLU back online was to support the very tired fleet of aircraft!
I won't even get started with the machines that have wings also collecting dust at EMA!
What is going off?!
