Inspector Gadget

The Essex Police helicopter has a whole host of gadgets on board that help officers keep Essex safe.

The gadgets include a thermal imaging camera, a spotter scope with a powerful zoom, a mapping system which allows the crew to navigate to any specific address, a search light to illuminate areas, a public address system and aerial photography.

All these items have helped the team attend more than three thousand incidents, find 140 missing people and make 300 arrests in the past year.

The team has also helped recover nearly £1 million pounds worth of property in the last 12 months.
