Fairfax County Police Offering Inside Look at Helicopter Unit

Fairfax County Police are giving residents an behind-the-scenes look at their Helicopter Division with a live tweet-along scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 26.

Members of the helicopter crew will tweet out footage from FCPD’s helicopter hanger and from inside its Fairfax One helicopter through the handle @fairfaxpolice. The tweet-along will run from 11 a.m. until 2:30 p.m.

A portion of that time will be dedicated to crew members answering any questions submitted on Twitter. FCPD has established the hashtag #ffx1tweet to help your questions reach the department.

The FCPD Helicopter Division assists in search and rescue missions, helps track down lost or missing persons and provides life-saving medical transport among its many duties.
