Great news.
Are QPS employing the pilots or are SLSQ?

As I understand it, QPS took over from SLSQ and QGAir some time back. The story I heard was that everyone involved were sick of the media hassling them for using QGAir 139s on police operations.

Easier to make everything police assets and no one complains when a police helo is used for a rescue. Problem solved.
