This week’s photo highlights the recent delivery of three SUBARU Bell 412EPX helicopters — two to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department and one to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department.

These state-of-the-art helicopters are set to significantly enhance the public safety operations in California, supporting a range of missions from search and rescue to special operations. With advanced features like increased maximum weight capacities and a robust main rotor gearbox for enhanced horsepower, the SUBARU Bell 412EPX is designed for efficiency and reliability in critical missions.

The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department plans to deploy its helicopter in collaboration with CAL FIRE to fight wildfires, while San Bernardino County intends to use their aircraft for diverse law enforcement and emergency response tasks.
