Could this be heading to the UK. Merseyside maybe
Doubtful - it isn't fitted with floats

I wonder if NPAS will be using the same Media publicity team though,
some of their phrases seem to follow a pattern to those being used NPAS,
such as their Mission statement of Improving efficiency .... :

It’s equipped with an infrared camera that can clearly read a license plate from an elevation of twelve hundred feet...
... although FAA Regulations prohibit it from actually being used above 400 feet, and ....

Saving money :

The helicopter cost upwards of $300,000 ....
I Love that phrase "upwards of"
The video clip says the grant was for half a million US$.
