Helicopter Careers with Law Enforcement

Law Enforcement Helicopter Careers

As many readers will already know, there has seldom been a better time to become a helicopter pilot. With a variety of factors contributing to a robust aviation industry, there are many more jobs than there are pilots who are now qualified to fill all of the positions available. Upper Limit Aviation (1-855-HELIEDU) is proud that it is able to help our student pilots go on to find lifelong careers in an industry that shows so much potential to reward them with continual opportunity and reward.

There are certain careers that spring immediately to mind when we consider helicopter careers. One such career is that of the law enforcement helicopter pilot. Law enforcement helicopters are familiar to most of us even before we know that we want to one day become a professional pilot ourselves. They are the omnipresent, watchful protective eye in the sky.

The Vital Role of Law Enforcement Helicopter Pilots

Law enforcement helicopter pilots contribute to the police force in an absolutely essential fashion, often coordinating operations from high above, able to take in all of the factors that police on the ground may not be able to observe themselves. Traffic management, highway pursuits and other responsibilities fall upon law enforcement helicopter pilots.

If you’ve had a tough time deciding whether you would like to become a helicopter pilot or a law enforcement officer, this is the career for you. Many law enforcement agencies contract their pilots from outside, but most will actually require their pilots to train as a cadet and work a traditional beat first. This is a career for those with a long term interest in law enforcement.

If this describes you, and you’d like to know how to take the next step toward becoming a law enforcement helicopter pilot, call Upper Limit Aviation at 1-855-HELIEDU to find out how to begin your training.
