EC145T2 for the NorthRhineWestfalia Police (Germany)
 

Hi all,
Germany's Landespolizei Nordrhein-Westfalen selects the world's most modern police rotorcraft: Airbus Helicopters' EC145 T2 - Airbus Helicopters - Pressemitteilung

(PresseBox) (Donauwoerth, Germany, 12.12.2014) Six EC145 T2 rotorcraft have been ordered by Germany's Landespolizei Nordrhein-Westfalen (North Rhine-Westphalia Police Force), becoming the latest law enforcement customer for this enhanced member of Airbus Helicopters' twin-engine EC145 family. Deliveries of these helicopters are planned in 2016-2017.

As one of the largest of Germany's 12 state flying police forces, the Landespolizei Nordrhein-Westfalen serves North Rhine-Westphalia - the country's most populous state, which includes the cities of Cologne, Düsseldorf, Dortmund and Essen.

"The EC145 T2 is well suited for the Landespolizei Nordrhein-Westfalen's broad range of missions, providing capabilities that come with the world's most modern law enforcement helicopter," explained Thomas Hein, Airbus Helicopters' Vice President - Head of Western Europe. "We developed the EC145 T2 with police forces in mind, working closely with pilots and officers to meet their operational needs."

The Landespolizei Nordrhein-Westfalen is the second such German customer, joining the Landespolizei Baden Württemberg (Baden Württemberg Police Force), which launched the EC145 T2's law enforcement version with an order for six helicopters announced last December.
