Talk:Police aviation

message: Why aren't Police choppers armed with Machine Guns or Wing Pylons equipped with Missle Launchers? -C2CFAN
:Because they aren't combat vehicles.  --Andrusi 20:53, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Armed choppers 

message: OK, this article is somewhat repeated in article Police plane.  What about merging that content here?  Plane and helicopter are used in similar roles.  This article could then be renamed "Police aircraft" to cover both (also allow for UAVs, etc later).  Thanks to BillCJ for suggesting this on Rotorcraft task force talk btw. -Fnlayson 04:23, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merging & renaming 

message: The initial paragraph references the police helicopter as if it had already been introduced. I would recommend that either the position of the paragraph be changed from 1st to 2nd or that the uses be listed and that the police helicopter paragraph refer to the uses of the police plane. --Born2flie 22:08, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Should there be a section on the Criticism and alleged controversies – such as the inappropriate use of police aircraft?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.39.209.160 (talk) 09:19, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Criticism 

message: Over the last few days I've done my best to clean up this article, sort out references and add missing information but for a subject I have only a passing interest in I think I've done more than enough.
The History section still needs references relating to the New York Police Department and the section on rotary-wing aircraft needs references relating to equipment (or lack of).
However if someone has the time and interest may I be as bold to suggest a couple of major changes...
===Article name===
I think that Police aviation or Law Enforcement aviation would be a better title than the current Police aircraft.

replies: text:  The big difference between the two is that Law Enforcement aviation would also encompass things such as customs aircraft, immigration aircraft and organisations such as the Department of State Air Wing in the USA etc. --Thefrood (talk) 02:36, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: That is true. To keep the subject focused then perhaps Police aviation would be a better choice then. - Ahunt (talk) 11:13, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Article name

message: The main content of the article is currently split by aircraft type (rotary-wing / fixed-wing / lighter-than-air / unmanned) may suggest that using the role that aircraft are deployed in might be a better way to structure the article (e.g. observation / surveillance / prisoner transport / personnel transport / multi-role).
