New police helicopter for Ontario’s Peel Regional Police
The Airbus H125 is the first to be operated as part of Ontario’s Joint Air Support Unit
The provincial government in Ontario, Canada, has delivered a new Airbus H125 to the Peel Regional Police.
The aircraft is the first to enter service through Ontario’s Joint Air Support Unit, intended to expand aerial policing capacity across the province.
The H125 will help Peel Regional Police track stolen vehicles, respond to critical incidents, monitor dangerous driving, and support investigations targeting organized crime.
It will also support regional and provincial policing operations through collaboration with neighboring police services and the Ontario Provincial Police.
“The Ontario Provincial Police is pleased to support Peel Regional Police’s new H125 helicopter through the Joint Air Support Unit,” said Thomas Carrique, Commissioner, Ontario Provincial Police. “Aviation is an effective tool used during time-sensitive incidents, such as locating vulnerable missing persons, tracking suspects, and supporting frontline operations.”
In Japan, Aichi Prefectural Police recently launched a new Bell 505 helicopter.
