On a serious note good luck to any ASU that can get the funding for the best equipment on the market whether that be aircraft/cameras or any roll equipment.
However it does annoy me that our ASU have to find a 10% cut in our budget next year this will be on top of increased operating costs, you can see our UEO has a tough job to find savings and upgrade equipment at the same time.
I know that each force control's it's own business plan,but this must advocates a national Air support wing where individual forces are not having to fight the bean counters, that have no knowledge of Air Support.
Sadly it only takes a Chief Constable that is Anti Air Support to put your unit behind the technology curve for some years.
Sorry probably gone off thread subject slightly.
