New infra-red camera for police chopper

Police Air Wing officer-in-charge acting inspector Clinton Oversby said the new "eye in the sky" was a tremendous asset to the helicopter and the frontline police officers it supported.

“Our old FLIR (Forward Looking Infra Red) camera was about seven years old and with advances in technology was very outdated. This new model greatly enhances our capability to monitor and record incidents from the air in terms of range and clarity of pictures,” acting inspector Oversby said.
