not knowing the full in's and outs of the case if the reason they are closing is because of the police wanting to operate on their own for safety reasons that is mad!
I glide and we work side by side with the police chopper, Sea king SAR, and apache/lynxs/gazzelles! (not to mention in bound hercs/antonovs etc) we have a clear understanding of each others needs and operate perfectly safely together. In fact a few years ago we held a competition and there was upwards of 25+ gliders flying in it and we still managed to operate together
