Tijuana’s new police helicopter to provide aerial ambulance services
The new police helicopter to be purchased by the city of Tijuana will take on a dual purpose: it will help patrol the streets below and serve as an aerial ambulance.
“We are looking for a helicopter that can provide medical services, be equipped as an ambulance,”
“We don’t want to use it solely for police matters, it needs to be a tool for civil protection, supporting firefighters and the Red Cross transporting injured people.”
The city of Tijuana hasn’t had a police helicopter since November 2017 when a copter called “Pegasus” crashed killing the two officers on board.
“We dispatch drones, but they can’t cover the entire city.
Tijuana Mayor Montserrat Caballero said the city is investing about $1.2 million for the aircraft, which is to be delivered by Oct. 1.
