The Queensland Police Service operates two helicopters, which normally conduct operations within the greater South East Queensland area. These helicopters are based in Brisbane and at the Gold Coast but may be deployed to other parts of the State.
Sergeant Dan Butler of Helicopter Support Brisbane, will present ‘Polair – Police Eyes in the Sky’. He will outline the variety of technology fitted to POLAIR 1 & 2 such as Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) and a Searchlight (TRAKKA beam). Sergeant Butler will also illustrate the types of scenarios undertaken by these helicopters in support of police operations on the ground.
This one and a half hour presentation will start at 11am on Sunday, March 20 and will be both informative and educational. The lecture content will be suitable for all audiences.
