Bernalillo County Air Support Astar Patch
Serving Albuquerque from above — the metro's eye in the sky.
The Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office (BCSO) Metro Air Support unit provides aerial law enforcement support across the Albuquerque metropolitan area and surrounding Bernalillo County, New Mexico. Operating the Eurocopter AS350 Astar — one of the most widely used law enforcement helicopters in the world — the unit conducts patrol support, search and rescue, pursuit tracking, and tactical operations over the sprawling desert and urban landscape of central New Mexico. Air support units like BCSO's are force multipliers for ground deputies, providing real-time aerial observation that enhances officer safety and public protection across a jurisdiction that spans dense urban neighborhoods, open desert, and mountainous terrain.
Perfect For:
BCSO Metro Air Support personnel, law enforcement aviation professionals, Astar helicopter operators, Albuquerque-area law enforcement, and collectors of sheriff's aviation unit insignia.
Albuquerque's airborne guardians.
