The new police helicopter
flies over the University every
day, but only on its way to and
from work, according to police
inspector Robert Sawdon.
Stored and serviced at
Duncan Aircraft at Lincoln Air
Park, it must fly over the
campus until a landing pad is
installed 'on the County-City
Building, he said. The
helicopter can make deliberate
passes ovei campus, though. It
Lincoln police receive a call tor
help from University officials
the helicopter could be used on
the campus, Sawdon said.
For example, the snowball
fight last January brought a
call for the helicopter to
illuminate the disturbance. A
report of a prowler on
University buildings might also
bring (he chopper to campus.
But. the majority of
complaints about the
helicopter are from criminals,
Sawdon noted. "We've received
several phone calls from the
average citizen concerning the
noise," Sawdon said, "but 85
per cent of them were just
inquiries."
The success of the
helicopter, which has been on
patrol since January, has been
encouraging to the police.
"We're still sketchy on the
actual per cent of decrease in
crime, but it has definitely
been noticeable," he said.
One reason for the success
has been the potential
criminal's fear of the chopper.
"Undercover agents have
reported that most criminals
are afraid of the helicopter.
They feel the odds are too
much against them.
" It his an observation rather
than an apprehension
function," he said. The officer
in the helicopter radios for

ground help when he spots
trouble. The flying machine
only lands as a "last resort in
an emergency," he said.
Although the helicopter
flies in the afternoon, its major
use is at night when it patrols
Lincoln's warehouse district at
about 700 feet and shines an
$8,000 spotlight on the area.
"That spotlight makes
look iust like davlieht " s
it
said
Sawdon. "We can see anything
4
that's going on.
"The amazing thing about
the helicopter is that it doesn't
cost the city anything,"
Sawdon said. "A grant from
the federal government
takes care of the major portion
of the expenses."
The aircraft is owned by
Duncan Aircraft of Lincoln
which supplies the pilot. One
police officer rides in the
helicopter at all times. "We are
training our own pilots,"
Sawdon said.
