We received a number of ‘low flying’ and noise complaints this week perhaps because of more windows being opened due to the heat. Please be assured we only fly as necessary, safely and legally in the pursuit of keeping communities safe 👮♀️✈️ Please RT 🙏 ^KF

Good Evening. A reminder to those of you who own a green laser pen and decide to shine it at us or any other aircraft. You can now face up to 5 yrs in prison, an unlimited fine or both. Think twice unless you want to be re-homed and/or have less money in your account #NPAS999.
