Description

The Pasadena Police Department created a Helicopter Section in 1969. Since that historic day, the department has established itself as a leader in the law enforcement and aviation community. The following is an excerpt from retired Pasadena Police Chief Robert McGowan discussing the origin of the helicopter section. 


Success has come to Pasadena’s helicopter section. It remains one of the earliest members of the Airborne Law Enforcement Association; its pilots and observers repeatedly are called upon to lecture on the art of aerial police patrols and tactics; dozens of other police agencies have used the Pasadena program as a model for their own airborne units; and current teaching manuals about helicopters were authored wholly or in part by Pasadena officers.
