  • WATCH IN HD!
    Everyone has seen a "ride-along" with a police officer in a car...but how often do you look up at the police helicopter and wonder what really happens in the air? We give you the chance!
    Our pilot, Officer Justin Poirot and Public Information Officer Ben Tobias guide you on a 30 minute visit into a daily patrol flight. You get to learn about the aircraft, the Aviation unit, and get to see some great aerial footage!
    (For the hard-core helicopter fans...we have included the full startup sequence)
    Be sure to find the Gainesville PD Aviation Unit at Facebook.com/GainesvilleJAU

    I was the TFO (tactical flight officer) in our aviation unit in Fresno Ca. for 10 years. It was the coolest job ever. I controlled the search light, our infra red camera (FLIR), radio system, moving GPS map and police computer. It was a multi-tasked job and kept us busy day and night. Some people handled the fly along well, but some passengers would feel a little sick when we began to turn circles (orbits) on calls. We always carried sick bags which sometimes came in handy for citizens on flights.

    Awesome video! just started learning to fly helicopters, flew the Robinson R22 last weekend! So much more freedom than a fixed wing bird but a lot more difficult to fly. Props to the pilots who fly the police helicopters keeping us safe everyday.

    This video makes me cry every time I see it. When I was in the police explorers, I was a "victim" in a simulated plane crash and got to be flown to the hospital in a US Coast Guard helicopter. It was on that day that I fell in love - with flying in a helicopter. My dad was a fighter pilot, so maybe it's in my blood a bit. Because of multiple traumas, I never made it as a police officer, so then I got my EMT license and was studying to become a flight paramedic on our then called "Life Flight" helicopter. Life makes it's own plans though, and I had a bad back injury and couldn't walk for months, and a neck injury from a car accident (not my fault). I can walk now but now I'm older and retired. I have it on my bucket list to do a police fly along one day. I've done all kinds of police ride alongs, but not a fly along! I know it's never going to happen, unless I win the lotto and suck up to the chief, but I can at least dream - and drool every time I see this video.

    As a future helicopter pilot, this is a very interesting and exciting video. It really inspires me to continue to follow my dream. The only thing that scares me is the radio, so many codes and you really only get to hear something said once. The day I took my first intro flight, the instructor literally mumbled in the radio to the tower but somehow they actually understood while I was dumbfounded :/ I hope I get the hang of it :)

    • @Alden9420
      @Alden9420 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Peace Ninja You'll get it, don't worry. And you absolutely can hear it again, all you have to say is "_________ (who your talking to) say again, please?" , also if you just tell them that you are "unfamiliar" they will help you out. A step beyond that is literally tell them that you are a "student pilot" and they will give you lots more help.
      Look up progressive taxi too, it's something you could request at a big airport if you were kinda lost. However you should also learn to always be prepared with a airport taxi diagram as well.
      Good luck in your flight training and try not to stress out about it.

    Loved the video! Great to see how this all goes. It's a great way to promote the service.
    While I wholeheartedly support the police and the job you do to keep us safe, civil asset forfeiture has been terribly abused by a few departments. It was a good idea, and clearly you all have put the funds to proper use. Sadly it has been turned into a cash grab by several departments, and so much more than taking the assets of drug related criminals. One DA has tried and succeeded in keeping the Land Rover of a citizen who was never charged let alone convicted. It was kept from him for 7 years. State supreme court ruled in the owners favor not once but twice. He finally got it back, and now the state is suing again. And he was never charged. Assets taken from convicted felons as part of their sentence, I am 100% for it. But going to buy a car with cash, being pulled over for speeding and having the $5k confiscated as "proceeds of the crime" is very hard to justify. I know you guys would never do anything like that, but civil asset forfeiture as it stands today is unconstitutional, and needs to be fixed to do what it originally was intended to do.
    Thanks again for a great video!
