[edit] Armed choppers

Why aren't Police choppers armed with Machine Guns or Wing Pylons equipped with Missle Launchers? -C2CFAN

Because they aren't combat vehicles. --Andrusi 20:53, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
  • So they can shoot use innocent civilians with the bad guys?? Come on.. -Fnlayson 05:33, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Hey, what about aerial sniping? I'm pretty sure that law enforcement sharpshooters use helicopters as platforms. Ops101ex 15:10, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merging & renaming

OK, this article is somewhat repeated in article Police plane. What about merging that content here? Plane and helicopter are used in similar roles. This article could then be renamed "Police aircraft" to cover both (also allow for UAVs, etc later). Thanks to BillCJ for suggesting this on Rotorcraft task force talk btw. -Fnlayson 04:23, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Support - per nomination. - BillCJ 05:19, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Support - per above. -Fnlayson 05:31, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

No content. Merge proceeding. - BillCJ 17:28, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Police Plane vs. Helicopter

The initial paragraph references the police helicopter as if it had already been introduced. I would recommend that either the position of the paragraph be changed from 1st to 2nd or that the uses be listed and that the police helicopter paragraph refer to the uses of the police plane. --Born2flie 22:08, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Feel free to change it in any way necessary. I won't quibble over it. - BillCJ 22:24, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
