The Polish police have purchased three Bell 407GXi helicopters through JB Investments, Bell's independent representative in Poland. A further unit has also been sold to a separate, corporate customer.

“This is the first sale of the Bell 407GXi platform to a European law enforcement agency,” says Bell managing director for Europe and Russia Duncan Van de Velde. “These successes are a testament to the newly upgraded capabilities of the platform and we are looking forward to the first aircraft delivery to the Polish police this year.”
