EQUIPMENT ORDERS & DELIVERIES

• July 2010 - The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has been approved to purchase 14 Eurocopter ASTAR 350 patrol helicopters at a cost of $56.7 million dollars. Twelve Eurocopter Astar 350 helicopters will replace seven-year-old aircraft that the department says are getting increasingly expensive to repair and have outlived their "optimal life span" of 7,000 flight hours or seven years of service. The department says it needs 14 of the flyers to keep a minimum of 10 airworthy at any time, given downtime for maintenance. About $40.5 million of the equipment cost is expected to come from a bond financing and the department expects to raise another $16.2 million by selling the helicopters they are retiring.

• July 2010 - The San Gabriel Police Department has been approved to purchase (3) three 2010 Dodge Charger patrol vehicles from McPeek's Dodge of Anaheim in the amount of $75,485.05.
