Financial Impact:
The flight time is paid for by funding such as the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the US Forest Service (USFS). There is no financial impact to the General Fund.
Background Information:
This vendor has been in use since 2011. Their intensive helicopter lift and safety training program has contributed to the excellent service and safety record for the Sheriff’s Office in the remote locations where deputies are sometimes required to rappel into.
This agreement will help supplement the Sheriff’s Office with professional services until the Aviation Program is up and running.
