OPERATIONS
Air SupportUnderstanding the advantages of public safety aviation, the City of Burbank has made a significant investment in establishing the Police Air Support Unit. In 1979, the City joined forces with the City of Glendale to create a joint Air Support Unit which continues to operate today. The unit’s primary responsibility is to assist the Police Department in crime suppression (particularly with the Patrol and Vice/Narcotics Bureaus), as well as the Fire Department in Fire Suppression and Rescue. The unit also assists other bureaus or City departments when available. Typically, when the air unit is dispatched, it arrives at the scene before the first ground unit 75% of the time.
