Law enforcement agencies which use helicopters were surveyed to ascertain the types of activities for which helicopters are used. While the main emphasis continues to be on traffic surveillance, speed law enforcement, traffic control, and search and rescue activities, other types of activities are becoming increasingly evident. These growing activity areas include air evacuation, air and water pollution control, emergency cargo transportation, riot control, narcotics detection, fire fighting and patrols for crime prevention. Included in the survey were the types and numbers of helicopters employed, their annual utilization rates, and the types of special law enforcement-related equipment installed. (Author)
