CSRT train with new Police Helicopter
The team recently had the opportunity to get acquainted with Devon and Cornwall Police's new replacement police helicopter, Oscar 99.
Arrangements had been made for the aircraft to RV with the team at Truro Airfield, where they were given a thorough brief on the capabilities of the helicopter, and the key differences between this and the previous aircraft. Following this, the team were instructed in the correct procedures for loading a casualty on board, with many team members taking the place of the casualty.
The team would like to thank Devon and Cornwall Police, and the aircrew for this valuable training and look forward to continuing working with the aircraft.

The team were called out alongside HM Coastguard and the RNLI by the police to a report of a despondent missing 19 year old female in the Fistral Beach area. As the team were preparing to search the golf course and dunes area, an HMCG team located the female at the water edge and safely recovered her. |
