Introduced by: Immediate Past President Melanie Vieux
The helicopter program was started after receiving state funding. Chief Jones worked hard to get the program started. Currently Stockton has one helicopter and one pilot. It started in July 2019. The program has the helicopter in the air four days a week. It helps in pursuits. They presented actual footage of the pursuit where the Falcon One Helicopter and the police cars worked together to get the stop the pursuit. This program helps the Police Department clear a lot of calls and frees up the police vehicles and officers for other issues. The average response time for a call that is received for Falcon One is 42 seconds. Through Falcon One, missing people can be traced. This program has been a great aid to the Police department helping solve crime.
