The report cited the police commissioners plans two years ago to axe the helicopter funding
which he described as too high.
He said he was not going to pay and that is why Wattisham closed.
Suffolk is a mainly rural county with a low crime rate.
The police commissioner is an elected official and has saved a substantial amount of his budget to be spent elsewhere.
Norfolk did the same and seems to have managed quite well without a helicopter.
It is worth pointing out that most policing took place without air support a couple of decades ago.
