- Description
- This Operating Manual for the Richmond Police Metro Aviation Unit, a tri-county alliance between Richmond, Chesterfield, and Henrico Police, was obtained in 2012. The MAU is responsible for the notoriously loud "police plane" known for circling at low altitudes over public areas in Richmond. The Operating Manual reads: "The Metro Aviation Unit will provide aerial observation and support to all elements of the Police Department... The aircraft should not circle a location over long periods of time."

- Description
- "In 1986 the Counties of Henrico and Chesterfield, and the City of Richmond entered into a multi-jurisdictional agreement that facilitated the use of police aircraft in all three jurisdictions and created the Metro Aviation Unit... The 2006 Cessna 182 and 2000 Cessna 172 are equipped with a spotlight, a forward looking infra-red (FLIR) camera, and a video downlink that permits the aircraft to broadcast images while flying for viewing at varying locations within the three jurisdictions.... In September 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved an amendment totaling $2,100,000 for a third patrol aircraft... The cost of the plane was split equally among the regional partners with Henrico’s share totaling $700,000."
