Two helicopters were utilized in the San Francisco Bay and Indio desert to determine the use of the helicopter as a partol vehicle, as a vehicle for special missions, as an emergency transportation vehicle, and as a commute traffic surveillance platform. The patrol phase, which involved enforcement surveillance and response to motorist demands, was effective only in the Indio area. The scheduled special missions phase involved auto theft investigation, disaster surveillance, monitoring of demonstrations, and aerial photography. The helicopter's effectiveness in this area has not yet been evaluated. Helicopters were most effective in providing emergency transportation. The Bay Area helicopter was used for peak hour traffic surveillance for a three month period during which time 869 incidents, primarily involving aid to stalled vehicles, were acted upon. A benefit cost analysis of helicopter services was performed. Pilot and observer selection and training and helicopter services manuals are included.
