Incident involving AIR1
On June 22, 2015, at approximately 9:30 p.m., members of the Winnipeg
Police Service Helicopter AIR1, while on routine patrol, inadvertently
activated the aircraft's public address system. As a result, the flight
crew’s conversation was publically broadcast; some content of the
conversation was inappropriate.
The involved members were not able to hear the public address system
from within the aircraft. They became aware their conversation had been
broadcast and immediately turned the system off.
The Winnipeg Police Service, the Flight Operations Unit, and the
involved members sincerely apologize to all members of the public,
especially those who overheard the broadcast.
This incident is being reviewed. The outcome of this review will be
determined at a later time.
