It was a privilege to work with former Regina Police Chief, Troy Hagen. I join all those in our community who mourn his passing - far too soon. Troy was a much-respected leader who worked hard to give-back to his fellow citizens. Our love to his family. https://t.co/kGsgmMjUrB

I was in the skies with the police!
* The plane is tiny, but it’s good for the cost of fuel, and maneuvering.
* The plane is invaluable in high speed chases
* It is quick to be first on the scene
* It can effectively search an area for both on the run and vulnerable persons.
