Philippine National Police look to purchase 15 helicopters 24 Oct, 12

One of the highlight presentations of the Tangent Link POLICE AVIATION event held in the Prince Hotel & Residence in central Kuala Lumpur this week was that given by Police Senior Superintendent Joselito F Salido of the Philippine National Police [PNP].

During times when it seems few worthwhile sales opportunities are to be found in the law enforcement market the Superintendent was announcing to industry that the PNP is embarking on a re-equipment task that is already part funded by the government. He confidently predicted that the new fleet requirements would see orders placed within the current five year plan but that deliveries would of course have at least a 12 month lead time.

The PNP is seeking six twin engine light utility helicopters with a minimum of 10 seats, nine single engine 7-8 seat helicopters, a fixed wing transport type with a 40 seat capacity and flight simulators to enhance the flying skills of the pilots.

The current fleet of the PNP is two Eurocopter BO105, three Eurocopter AS350, one Robinson R44 Police, two R44 Raven, two BN-2A-21, one Cessna 421B Golden Eagle and a single Cessna 150G trainer.

In terms of equipment only the R44 Police offers the PNP a small FLIR sensor camera option and the plan is that the new fleet will be fully law enforcement role equipped from the day of delivery, taking the operation into a new sphere of activity.

As stated the first year of acquisition is funded and it is now a case of taking presentations from the manufacturers before selection of the various types. Although not indicative of the final selection it is known that the PNP has already considered the Bell 412 and Eurocopter EC145 but remains open minded on the final selection of the initial type purchase. The POLICE AVIATION event details can still be found on the http://www.tangentlink.com/ website Bryn Elliott - Police Aviation News

Seems they are just reviving old plans that were swept away but were swept back by Yolanda :armyLol:

A PNP Robinson R44, which is similar to the two secondhand helicopters allegedly sold by former First Gentleman Mike Arroyo to the PNP in 2009, lies on its side after it crashed due to mechanical failure in Mt. Bitulayungan, Tinglayan, Kalinga on Wednesday, June 19. The three occupants of the chopper were injured and airlifted to Tabuk City for treatment. GMA NEWS
