As you will expect, the main job that a law enforcement pilot does is fly a helicopter or a plane. The main difference between a regular pilot and a law enforcement pilot is the situations in which they are required to pilot a vehicle. Generally speaking, law enforcement pilots tend to work in emergency situations when a fast response is needed and travel by helicopter is faster than car.
As well as working in these emergency situations, it is also the law enforcement pilot’s job to look after their vehicle. The pilot must regularly check on their aircraft and ensure that it is always in good working order. This is very important as these aircraft often have to be ready to use in a very short period of time when an emergency situation arises. If the pilot does not keep up regular maintenance on their aircraft then this can limit their ability to do their job properly.
But the main job that a law enforcement pilot is expected to do is be on call when emergencies arise, and be prepared to pilot their helicopter in these situations in a calm and professional manner.
