Fifty Years Ago There Were Around 100 Police Forces in the England and Wales
©Police Aviation Research Number 114 October 2005 IPAR Fifty years ago there were around 100 police forces in the England and Wales. This number has now fallen to just 43 forces and plans are afoot to sweep away the smaller forces with under 2,000 sworn officers and reduce the number still further. Some of the pressures for change lie in reactions to such small force failures as the Soham child murders that highlighted failures in Cambridgeshire [1,250 officers] and Humberside [2,000 officers]. In air support terms there may be little immediate change. The threatened small forces including such as Warwickshire [1,000 officers] already take part in an air support consortium but already suggested as being absorbed into a neighbouring police force outside the current air arrangement. In contrast, Kent and Norfolk large regions with relatively few officers and a long standing need for substantive modern air support could see themselves joining neighbours and attracting – probably stretching – existing resources. Problems may arise where the new police force boundaries do not fit in with current and proposed consortia. One proposal is for Wales to become one force but North Wales is in the North West Consortium and closely tied in with the English force in Cheshire. Current plans will clearly be at risk there. It seems that any difficulties may be short-lived, the Government has suggested that ACPO get their proposals on the table by years end but the commercial ramifications could last longer if existing maintenance contracts turn messy. -

The STC was developed by ESG’s EASA Part 21 J Design Organisation and covers the integration of the FLIR Systems StarSAFIRE 380-HD and StarSAFIRE 380-HDc products into EC135 helicopters. Through an extensive comprehensive flight test programme - including handling qualities, flight per- formance and functionality - it enables CAT-A operations, giving crews additional safety margins during takeoff and landing. The modification is set up in a generic way and can be used with different types of EO/IR. Initially it will be used for the FLIR Systems Star SAFIRE 380-HD family. The Croatian Police, the initial customer of this installation, took delivery of the first modified helicopter in August this year. -

Where most training rigs are rudimentary and cost cutting through the use of redundant airframes the WA Police installation is a dedi- cated new build at a cost of $250,000. The indoor winch simulator means the force can increase essential 25/7 training for its officers with the added bonus of not using up flight hours. Despite the significant first cost this rig should save money and free up the two helicopters for more frontline patrols. Ed: Where it is usual to fix such simulators outside and atop a simple tower the WA simulator was manufactured off site and assembled in the Police Air Wing base in Jandakot hangar before being suspended on the wall high off the ground. -

Hopefully 2020 will bring each of us all emergency services aviation that we can be proud of. The people have spoken and it appears assured that one of the most embarrassing period of Brit- ish politics has come out into clear air. Brexit is to happen despite the worst efforts of many self serving politicians who believed they alone knew what the people should be thinking and voting. They were wrong and many are now seeking new pastimes in keeping with their narrow view on life. I suspect that 2020 will bring us another group of displaced ‘leaders of men’ in Yorkshire. The clock is ticking and the resolution of that Inspectorate [HMICFRS] report is beckoning. The new political situation in Britain means that I have less reason to refer to the “Peoples Republic of Wakefield” for this former left wing stronghold has turned to supporting Boris in the National vot- ing process. While it is doubtful that local politics will follow the seed change, the Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) are elected every four years, the last election was in May 2016 and the next election will be on May 7, 2020. Time enough for the present incumbent to feel the heat. On the world front many will recognise that Brexit put the all knowing liberal elite in their place without riot or bloodshed but other potentially more volatile nations face similar challenges. -

But times have changed as the apparently thriving fleet of a handful of AS365N helicopters has either crashed or been sold off since the late 1990s. Four years ago a major ‘Reorganisation And Modernisation’ of the national police force was reported to have led to the establishment of a so called ‘Helicopter Brigade’ to boost police intervention capacity. But no hard news ever emerged of what the equipment amounted to. In some ways the apparent lack of resources in the region have now been underlined by the announcement that Canadian company VIH Helicopters Ltd. has won a six-month, multi- million-dollar contract to help Angola hold its first national elections in 16 years. The deal is just part of a wider 30-aircraft contract the Angolan Government has with another company. -

At one end of the spectrum, much focus has been placed on ensuring that Paramedics can manage patients safely and appropriately within their own homes, without the need for conveyance to an Emergency Department. At the other, a wealth of additional clinical skills have been introduced including intra-osseous access devices, major haemorrhage control and tranexamic acid. Following the launch of the major trauma networks in 2012, ambulance clinicians received additional education to enable patients to be conveyed directly to Major Trauma Centres, in a similar manner to bypass arrangements for stroke and angioplasty. It is now time to take the response to patients who are in the most life-threatening condition to the next level.
