URS Install LoJack for San Antonio Police Department
United Rotorcraft Solutions (URS) recently completed a contract with the San Antonio (TX) Police Department (SAPD) Helicopter Detail. URS was contracted to install the LoJack system in all three of the Department’s Schweizer 333’s.
Known as the "Blue Eagle", the SAPD Helicopter Detail’s daily activities in support of law enforcement include assisting Patrol, Traffic, SWAT, etc. in tracking and locating suspects. ALL Blue Eagle staff are SAPD officers who applied to this assignment from Patrol or other units, and who have training and certification as helicopter pilots. The present strength of the unit is 12: ten patrol officers, one detective-investigator, and one supervisor.
The helicopters were rotated through the URS facility one at a time and the complete project took just over a week.
“One of the things we are most proud of is our support of law enforcement”, says David Brigham, President of URS, “and being able to take care of this project, for the SAPD, in a timely manner was a priority.”
