The aviation unit also has mutual aid agreements for airborne law enforcement services with several agencies throughout central and eastern Alabama. In addition, the unit supports the FBI and other state and federal task forces, providing surveillance for ongoing investigations.

Throughout the show, MD Helicopters will offer the opportunity for attendees to experience the enhanced glass cockpit MD 530F’s power and performance firsthand. Parties interested in scheduling a demonstration flight during the show can contact MDHI Director of Public Safety Sales, John “Jack” or MDHI Director of Commercial & Law Enforcement Sales, Jason Lindauer.
