Before the department’s police helicopter can take to the skies for a medical transport, Aviation Section officers must work closely with first responders on the ground to provide the best possible care for patients.

They were taught how to safely load and unload patients from the SCPD helicopter while protecting themselves, patients, and other first responders.
