Robinson Helicopter Company’s fourth ‘Climb Higher’ video demonstrates R66 helicopter capabilities

Manufacturer Robinson Helicopter Company (RHC) has shared a new ‘Climb Higher’ series video featuring US law enforcement agency the Polk County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) in Polk County, Florida. In these videos, PCSO highlights the pivotal role the Robinson R66 plays in its fleet, emphasizing the aircraft’s ability to modernize operations, reduce costs, and expand aerial coverage, enhancing public safety for a community covering 2,000 square miles.

In the four-video series, PSCO shows how its 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 officers to respond swiftly and effectively to a wide range of challenges.

Grady Judd, Polk County Sheriff, said: “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. 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.”

David Smith, President and CEO of Robinson Helicopter, added: “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.”
