LAPD Air Support Division
The Los Angeles Police Department Air Support Division (ASD) is the airborne law enforcement program of the LAPD. It is the largest municipal airborne law enforcement organization in the United States〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Los Angeles Police Department )〕 and operates from the LAPD Hooper Heliport.
While originally devoted to aerial traffic enforcement, it has grown to support a wide variety of police activity. Today, its operations are divided between Air Support To Regular Operations (ASTRO) and Special Flight Section (SFS). The ASD motto is ''The mission is the same, only the vehicle has changed.'' The Air Support Division currently operates 19 aircraft of 2 different models, and maintains the largest municipal police aviation unit around the world, in addition to having the world's largest roof-top airport and world's busiest heliport.
==History==
The Air Support Division (ASD) was established as the LAPD Helicopter Unit in 1956 with one Hiller UH-12C Three-seat helicopter. They added a second helicopter in 1963 and a third in 1965. The city operated Bell 47G and 47J model helicopters. In 1968, the unit received its first Bell 206A JetRanger. With a major expansion in 1974, the Helicopter Unit was renamed the Air Support Division. At that time, the ASD grew to 15 helicopters and one Cessna 210 manned by 77 sworn personnel. In 1976, the ASD added the Special Flight Section (SFS), a unit dedicated to supporting undercover police operations. In this support role, SFS is a significant contributor to narcotics and serialized criminal investigations. In 1988, the ASD added its first Aerospatiale AS350B-1. The city replaced all but 4 of the Bell 206 JetRangers and retired the older piston models.
