fearlessnitefighter Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 I am a member of the Airborne Law Enforcement Association. I have been trying to get an air support unit going in my area and have been following their work. Their unit supervisor is Commander Holm. I think if you contact the unit directily they could answer any questions you might have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zVo Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Anyone have an idea of what the size is of the current CPD / Cook County Helicopter Joint Task Force is now? I know they had two Bells and a handful of aviation officers around the end of 2008. For sworn officers, is there a published ground patrol experience requirement? Minimum aviation ratings for initial application? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Pig Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) I can call and ask if you want. Not that you can't but sometimes a fellow LE pilot can get a little farther with the skinny Edited July 25, 2014 by Flying Pig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
