There are two e-petitions running for this at the moment;
Re-evaluate Future Provision of National Police Air Service in Rural Areas - e-petitions
Re-evaluate Future Provision of National Police Air Service in Rural Areas
Responsible department: Home Office
The National Police Air Service (NPAS) have announced that a number of existing police helicopter bases are to close.
The NPAS say that 98% of the population will be within 20 minutes flying time from a police air base.
This is all well and good if you live in an urban area where the 20 minute range circles overlap providing air cover from more than one helicopter base.
In rural, sparsely populated areas however, helicopter cover will be reduced as these areas are further than 20 minutes from any of the proposed air bases.
The areas at risk are large areas of rural Wales, East Anglia, Cornwall, Cumbria and the Lake District.
Please sign this petition to ask for a re-evaluation of this important service.
Stop the Downsizing of our National Police Air Service - e-petitions
Stop the Downsizing of our National Police Air Service
Responsible department: Home Office
This petition is to stop the closure of 10 NPAS helicopter bases which currently serve the UK Police Service.
The bases facing closure in 2016 are; Rhuddlan, Halfpenny Green, Pembrey, Ripley and Sheffield.
Durham Tees Valley, Warton, Wattisham, Husbands Bosworth and Lippitts Hill will close by 2017.
This will leave huge areas of the UK without any realistic air-support leaving the public at risk.

HM Government e-petitions
What are e-petitions?
"e-petitions are an easy, personal way for you to influence government and Parliament in the UK. You can create an e-petition about anything that the government is responsible for and if it gets at least 100,000 signatures, it will be considered for debate in the House of Commons. You can find more information about how the House of Commons deals with e-petitions on the Backbench Business Committee website"
