Bell Helicopter, July 16, 2015 - Fort Worth, Texas – Bell Helicopter, a Textron Inc. company, announced today the final delivery of the fourth Bell 429 to the New York Police Department (NYPD).

Bell Helicopter and NYPD commemorated the final delivery today at the Airborne Law Enforcement Association Expo in Houston, Texas where the NYPD’s new Bell 429 was on display in the Textron booth.

The NYPD has two Bell 412EPs, a Bell 407 and now four Bell 429s in service for a variety of missions ranging from search and rescue at sea to gathering intelligence and combating terrorism.

“We are glad to share in the excitement with the NYPD on the final delivery of the Bell 429 into their fleet,” said Anthony Moreland, Bell Helicopter’s vice president of North American sales. “The NYPD has been a Bell helicopter operator for many years, and we take great pride in our relationship and providing them with our reliable aircraft.”

Wide 60 inch side doors and optional rear clam-shell doors provide quick and easy access for flight officers when every second counts.
