I known that Helisureste has a "large" fleet of 109 in various versions for EMS , recently I have been in Valencia airport when a helisureste 109 landed (and I saw real cool Bell-412 inside the hangar), but we aren't going to see any state police A109 due to the political and economical implication of Spain in Eurocopter.
I think the A-109E Power it's a great helicopter (a real Cat A) , my personal (and not qualified opinion) it's that EC-135 is more reliable and better designed for police ops ,also I haven't read about this kind of accidents http://www.apythel.org/exterior/acci...htm#Additional regarding the EC.

In the other hand, I'll admit that EC-135 is uglier than A-109E
Good spanish, Bomber Aris

Are you sure it was a police helo? or could it be a civil one?
