Skyhigh, Just how much is it costing you - per year?? Just for comparison, our local Police air support last year cost the local rate payers just under 14 pence per household. That's covering 2 counties ~ and you've got 6. Be interested to know.
For that 14p contribution the ratepayers got 911 flying hours in support of the police. The crews attended 2893 incidents, were directly responsible for 212 arrests, assisted in the arrest of 488 others, found 49 missing persons, recovered 93 stolen vehicles and property valued at £1,467,000 - and carried 5 casualties to hospital.
