Description
Mayor Mick Cornett sits down with Msgt. Dean Lack of the OKCPD Air Support Unit to discuss their mission and the recently acquired Airbus S350B3e helicopters, known as Air 1.
A
Welcome
back
to
the
mayor's
magazine,
we
have
changed
locations
for
this
third
and
final
segment
of
our
January
show
and
in
this
segment
we're
going
to
learn
more
about
the
police
department's
air
support
unit
and
with
me,
as
master
sergeant,
Dean
lack
of
the
Oklahoma
City
Police
Department.
Welcome
to
the
show
thanks,
you've
got
a
new
tool
that
you
are
helping
to
serve
the
citizens
of
Oklahoma
City
talk
about
this
piece
of
equipment.
That's
behind
us!
We.
B
A
You
know
people,
I
think
sometimes
forget
the
diversity
of
the
police
department,
staff
and
all
the
different
things
you
guys
do
they.
They
have
an
image
of
the
beat
officer,
and
I
think
they
kind
of
think
that
everybody
does
the
exact
same
thing
when
in
reality
there
are
lots
of
different
vocations
inside
the
police,
department
and
you're.
A
helicopter
pilot
absolutely.
B
A
B
Typically,
like
we'd
like
to
fly
a
couple
of
missions
a
day
without
being
called
out
if
we're
on
the
ground,
they'll
call
us
out,
but
if
we're
already
up
flying
will
go
to
crimes
in
progress
missing
children
missing,
Alzheimer's
patients,
just
anything
that
the
officer
does
on
the
ground,
that
we
can
support
from
the
air,
be
his
eyes
on
this
guy.
How.
A
A
The
same
time,
I
would
think
to
the
far
reaches
of
South
Oklahoma
City,
absolutely
okay.
So
once
you
arrive
like
people
are
familiar
just
from
from
frequency
of
what
the
what
the
TV
stations
have
with
their
weather
helicopters
and
and
the
cameras
that
are
installed,
do
you
have
similar
type
video
equipment
that
you're
able
to
view
things
on
the
ground
within
in
a
in
a
much
closer
diameter?
Yes,.
B
B
A
B
A
Nonetheless,
you
don't
want
to
let
this
person
get
away
and
if
we
could
safely
dispatch
a
helicopter
to
help
us
figure
out
where
this
person
is
going
to
be
next,
it
might
resolve
both
issues.
We
might
be
able
to
capture
the
suspect,
or
at
least
bring
the
person
in
for
questioning
without
endangering
the
lives
of
people
on
the
ground.
How
often
does
that
happen?
How
often
are
you
up
in
the
air
trying
to
help
find
a
person
who's
trying
to
elude
quite.
B
Regularly,
that's
actually,
probably
the
second
phone
call
that's
made
by
dispatch.
If
we're
not
in
the
air
already,
they
call
us
and
we
launch
immediately.
We
try
to
get
there
and,
of
course,
once
we
get
there,
they
can
call
the
ground
pursuit
off.
We
can
stay
with
them
and
see
where
they
wind
up
at
hopefully
keep
a
searchlight
on
them
or
keep
keep
them
in
the
infrared
where
they
end
up
at
I'm.
A
B
They
would
they
would
give
us
the
information.
Perhaps
if
the
guy
was
a
guy
or
girl
was
in
a
car
if
they
were
in
a
car.
We'd
know
what
kind
of
car
to
look
for.
We
had.
We
have
information
given
to
us
what
they're
wearing
what
they
look
like,
where
they
were
last
seen
where
possibly
they
might
be
going
because
they
might
have
done
this
before
right.
A
People
that
may
have
walked
away
from
a
Senior
Center,
something
might
be
disoriented
and
from
the
I
from
the
air.
You
could
probably
have
a
better
chance
of
finding
a
person
who
might
be
wandering
aimlessly
through
a
neighborhood,
absolutely
yeah.
What
about
schools
and
the
protection
of
our
kids
is
their
involvement
with
the
with
the
unit.
In
a
lot
of
those
aspects,
we.
B
B
B
A
B
A
B
Certainly
has
probably
happens
more
than
we
know,
but
absolutely
one
time
one
of
our
older
helicopters
got
to
hit
in
the
horizontal
stabilizer,
actually
I
actually
found
the
bullet
hold
the
next
morning.
The
officer
that
was
the
pilot
that
was
flying
didn't
know,
he'd
been
shot
at
or
hit
until
the
next
morning,
when
I
found
it
and.
A
A
A
Well,
Dean
thanks
very
much
and
I
want
to
say
that
you
know
this
equipment
was
purchased
by
the
citizens
of
Oklahoma
City
through
their
generosity
through
the
general
fund
and
the
three
quarter.
Cent
public
safety
sales
tax,
which
was
voted
in
about
25
years
ago
and
I-
think
it's
safe
to
say
on
a
per
capita
basis.
The
equipment
we
put
into
the
public
safety
departments
is
incredible.
Absolutely,
and
so
it's
not
it's
not
all
used
every
day.
A
So
Dean,
thanks
for
your
service
to
the
Oklahoma,
City,
Police,
Department
25
years,
and
counting
and
I
asked
him
fed
25
more
into
him
and
he
hesitated
to
say
25
or
hopefully
they
will
stick
around
for
a
while
longer
a
little
bit
longer.
We'll
see
you
next
month
on
the
mayor's
magazine,
thanks
for
joining.
Thank
you.
