You might not know it, but the Pima County Sheriff’s Department has search planes that patrol every night, around the county. “We’re going out there to save lives.”
TUCSON, Ariz. — You might not know it, but the Pima County Sheriff’s Department has search planes that patrol every night, around the county.
That’s possible thanks to the versatile camera mounted on the bottom of the planes. It has a daytime camera, a spotter scope for magnification, and an infrared camera to use at night. Deputies may even stop pursuing a suspect, allowing the search plane to take over entirely. PCSD said this sometimes allows a suspect to slow down and drive safer because they aren’t feeling the pressure of a chase. Meanwhile, a plane is still tracking their whereabouts.
That can vary from a small search for an Alzheimer’s patient who may have walked away and gotten lost – to a hiker, for whom rescue teams are searching across miles of desert. The single-engine helicopter doesn’t have a fancy camera like the plane, but it has equipment to help track avionics, weather, and terrain – plus a special hoist that can carry around 500 pounds.
