Police Aviation Services

To be an effective force multiplier, police teams need to retain 100 per cent confidence that their air assets can be in the right place at the right time - and fully operational. PAS crews deliver that confidence around the UK, every single day of the year.

Simply stated, PAS supplies outstanding aviation resources to its customers, through the skills of its pilots and engineers and the excellent operational performance of its equipment.

At any moment during the day, teams of pilots and engineers are on duty at a dozen locations around the country. Some of them will be already airborne, perhaps reacting to a call to find a missing child or to pursue a fleeing criminal. They will be using the latest technology to pinpoint the location of their subject and to direct ground units to the spot - in a fraction of the time that would be taken if only ground-based resources were available. Others will be standing by to respond to such a call. All will be alert with a helicopter ready to fly.

These front-line teams are supported by colleagues at Gloucestershire Airport. There are spare 'floater' pilots and observers in case one of the regular crewmembers is unavailable.

There are spare aircraft in case of both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance periods. There are engineers ready to react to any circumstance and, in support of them; hundreds of thousands of pounds-worth of spare parts lie ready in the stores. Links to manufacturers and suppliers ensure that non-stock items are delivered promptly and just-in-time stock levels maintained. Backing up all this are planning, administrative and management staff.

PAS also controls SAS overseas engineering contracts. These encompass design, maintenance, overhaul and completion services for both helicopters and aeroplanes.
