Suffolk is buying a new $13M police helicopter.
The Suffolk County Legislator approved borrowing $7.5 million for a twin-engine medevac helicopter that will replace an 18-year-old, single-engine helicopter. The new one will join three others in the department’s fleet.
An additional $5 million was set aside in 2021 for the purchase, and $600,000 will come from trading in one of the county’s older helicopters.
