Public Safety and Services / SAR / Arial Surveillance

“Helicopters are one of the most effective, highly visible law enforcement tools to act as a constant deterrent to crime and criminal activities.”

Public Safety Mission Options

There is not a question that helicopters are one of the most valuable tools to law enforcement operations and Vertical Services Integration, LLC, it’s trained and qualified flight crews, and the Robinson R44 can provide an efficient and affordable alternative to the budgetary and political quandary of costs and budgetary constraints...particularly in areas of multiple overlapping jurisdictions covering vast areas, identical to those of the Fox River Valley, Green Bay, and Northeastern Wisconsin.

VSI can provide an option for law enforcement, fire, and/or public safety and service agencies to utilize aerial platform capabilities, including, but not limited to Search and Rescue (SAR), night illumination and search, pursuit or discovery services, aerial scene assessment, wide area incident management, and documentation and review of criminal and mass casualty incidents. The Fox River Valley, Appleton, and Green Bay is a rapidly growing and developing area, and as such, is developing problems inherent to larger metropolitan areas, particularly those regarding officer safety, increasing criminal activity, and homeland security.

The close geographical proximity of multiple jurisdictional agencies and frequently utilized mutual aid agreements provide the perfect infrastructure to allow individual departments and agencies to afford and budget for the NEED for aerial surveillance, protection and prevention services, and, most importantly, officer safety that can be provided by the aerial air support of helicopter services. Vertical Services Integration, LLC can provide the mission specific equipment, trained flight crews, and the affordable alternative to costly aviation departments with unsurpassed response and mission capable services.

Aerial helicopter platforms can provide the only perspective of the complete and extensive view of a situation that ground observation cannot, and provides decision makers the projected planning, evaluation and review of critical situations and scene management. Assisting in ground operations, helicopters can provide the most enhanced and flexible tool for providing officer safety and citizen security during activities such as pursuit, patrol, surveillance, search and rescue and crime prevention activities.

The unique potential and capability set of helicopters provide a significantly unique and beneficial advantage as compared to traditional fixed-wing aircraft services, as well as the enhancement of current ground-based service limitations, in many of the mission areas defined in this plan. While some of the services listed above can be done to a lesser degree by airplane providers, the added capability set of a helicopter for slow flight, low altitude operation, hovering, and nearly limitless off-site take-off and landing options promotes rotorcraft service to a level which cannot essentially or reasonably be placed in competition or comparison with fixed-wing capabilities and services. Helicopters can also be customized to allow for a vast array of customized configuration options unique to specific mission requests.

Vertical Services Integration provides professionally trained and experienced flight crews flying well maintained and affordable helicopters to enable you to enhance your business plan, growth potential, and services option, or simply and safely to provide the next level of personal adventure and discovery. Our pilots undergo intense and ongoing training in specific mission assignments and are subject to continual evaluation and training in basic, advanced and mission specific flying skills.
