South Yorkshire force helicopter joins police air service

[mhm]

South Yorkshire's police helicopter has become the latest member of the new National Police Air Service (NPAS).

The service, which replaces localised police helicopter operations in England and Wales, was launched in October.

As a member of NPAS, the force's helicopter will provide cover across the county for 10 peak hours a day.

During the remaining 14 hours, the county will be served by aircraft from neighbouring NPAS bases in West Yorkshire, Humberside and Derbyshire.
