This week’s photo comes from Deputy Sara Blann of the Richland County (South Carolina) Sheriff’s Department.

The photo shows Sheriff Leon Lott aboard a UH-1H Huey helicopter earlier this week. The UH-1H is one of nine Richland County Sheriff’s Department (RCSD) aviation platforms, which also includes an OH-58 Kiowa helicopter, a Cessna 172M fixed-wing aircraft, and six drones. The RCSD Aviation Unit was conducting a routine patrol operation over central South Carolina.
