Robinson has released new editions of its ‘Climb Higher’ series featuring one of the US law enforcement agencies, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) in Polk County, Florida. In these videos, PCSO highlights the pivotal role the Robinson R66 plays in its fleet, enhancing public safety for its community covering 2,000 square milesPSCO shows how its fleet of Robinson R66s, equipped straight from the factory with state-of-the-art technology, including advanced cameras, tactical radios, and night vision compatibility, empowers its officers to respond swiftly and effectively to a wide range of challenges.
“Because of the technology in the R66, we can be proactive. We can spend more time preventing problems from happening than just chasing problems after they occur,” said Sheriff Grady Judge. “We chose Robinson to give the best service to the people of Polk County. The R66 does everything we need to get the job done.”
In 2019, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office had an ageing fleet and escalating costs. To update its fleet, the PCSO was re-equipped with R66s. As a result, operating and maintenance expenses were reduced by more than 50%.
“Predictable and reliable maintenance schedules make Robinson a great choice for public safety organisations that must stay operable. With scheduled inspections at 100-hour and 12-month intervals only, organisations can provide overwatch without consistent interruptions, explained David Smith, President and CEO of Robinson Helicopter. “Additionally, with the most competitive operating costs in the industry, our helicopters offer exceptional value, reliability, and versatility, making them the preferred choice for departments from Florida all the way to Brazil.”
