The Fairfax County Police Helicopter Division provides police aviation support and aeromedical evacuation to Fairfax County and the National Capital Region. The Helicopter Division was initially formed in 1972 with the donation of an Enstrom F-28 helicopter by a local businessman. It suspended operation in 1975. In 1983, the Helicopter Division was reformed with two Bell 206 Jet Rangers with a crew consisting of a Pilot, Police Officer/Paramedic and a Flight Nurse from INOVA Fairfax Hospital. In 1991, INOVA Fairfax separated from the Helicopter Division at which time the Flight Nurse was replaced with a second Police Officer/Paramedic. This is the crew configuration with which the Helicopter Division still flies today. In 1997, the Helicopter Division grew to a more capable and robust helicopter, the Bell 407. In 2011, the Helicopter Division began operating the Bell 429. This made the Fairfax County Police Helicopter Division the first multi-mission operator in the world to utilize this new airframe.
