Designed specifically for the demanding needs of law enforcement
and public safety, the Robinson offers unparalleled technology,
performance, safety, and cost-effectiveness. In this four-video
series, PSCO shows how their fleet of Robinson R66s equipped
straight from the factory with state-of-the-art technology,
including advanced cameras, tactical radios, and night vision
compatibility, empowers their officers to respond swiftly and
effectively to a wide range of challenges.
“Because of the technology in the R66, we can be proactive. We
can spend more time preventing problems from happening than just
chasing problems after they occur,” said Polk County Sheriff, Grady
Judd. “We chose Robinson to give the best service to the people of
Polk County. The R66 does everything we need to get the job
done.”
In 2019, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office was faced with an
aging fleet and escalating costs. The department transitioned to
Robinson helicopters, experiencing a dramatic reduction in
operating and maintenance expenses, more than 50 percent. These
cost savings, coupled with increased flight hours and mission
capabilities, have significantly enhanced the department’s ability
to protect and serve its community.
“Predictable and reliable maintenance schedules make Robinson a
great choice for public safety organizations that must stay
operable. With scheduled inspections at 100-hour and 12-month
intervals only, organizations can provide overwatch without
consistent interruptions,” said David Smith, president, and CEO of
Robinson Helicopter. “Additionally, with the most competitive
operating costs in the industry, our helicopters offer exceptional
value, reliability, and versatility, making them the preferred
choice for departments from Florida all the way to Brazil.”
The “Climb Higher” series highlights how customers and operators
worldwide leverage Robinson helicopters’ unique capabilities to
accomplish a wide range of tough missions and demonstrates the
aircraft's indispensable role in delivering unparalleled
technology, safety, and operational efficiency.
