Redlands approach to police aviation costs city virtually nothing
The Redlands Police Department's Cessna 172, called Redhawk 1, has been patrolling the city since 2007 - with a very tiny price tag, said Lt. Shawn Ryan, who leads the city's air support unit. The used 1967 Cessna cost the city's general fund nothing - it was purchased with drug asset forfeiture funds. And since then, its maintenance, gasoline, insurance have also come from drug asset forfeiture funds. (www.redlandsdailyfacts.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
For some reason, Mexico gets lucky and gets the King Airs and corp. jets? I've seen them at Ensanada parked with the Mexican Army armed and won't even let you get near them!
two thumbs up to the redlands P D :-)
In an era in this country where every Municipality, County, state and Federal official seems to need to by all the biggest and most expensive toys at substantial cost to the taxpayer...a round of applause. Our local volunteer fire department bought a new hook and ladder truck for close to 1/4 million with their selling point being it was ohh so necessary to have a ladder that reached 100 feet. The only thing that high within a 100 mile radius are farm silos...This is systemic to the nation.
We are all going broke due to this mentality..OPM.

you never know when an injured bird is going to get caught at the top of one of those silos...geesh...lol
Overkill is the new norm. 30 years ago it took 20+ min. To respond. Today it takes 20+ to respond. Nature of the beast as relates to volunteer FD's. doesn't matter if they got a 200' ladder and 500 hp engine. Instant just doesn't happen and never will.
