Mansell seeks another copter to cut Long Beach crime
Long Beach City Manager John R. Mansell proposed buying a Hughes model 300 helicopter to expand aerial patrols after crime rose only 0.7 percent in the past year. Robbery, burglary, and auto theft fell notably as the city first deployed regular aerial surveillance in 1968. The replacement helicopter, like the existing two with new safety seats, would cost about 45000 dollars and help resume efficient operations after last year's crash.
