Police Air Bases
The National Police Air Service (NPAS) started operations in October 2012. It gradually took over all existing police helicopters and bases from individual forces from this date onwards.

* NPAS Doncaster is due to come online in August 2017 as a national base for fixed wing aircraft.
All helicopters are Eurocopter EC135s or 145s. The fixed wing aircraft (on order at the time of writing) will be Vulcanair P68s.
In its short existence, the NPAS has had to find cost savings and this has resulted in the closure of some long-standing helicopter bases. Closed units are:
NPAS Durham Tees Valley – closed March 2017
NPAS Warton – closed March 2017
NPAS Wattisham – closed March 2017
NPAS Pembrey – closed January 2016
NPAS Rhuddlan – closed September 2015
NPAS Halfpenny Green
NPAS Sheffield
NPAS Ripley
