The Pasadena Police Department in California has selected CNC Technologies to upgrade the searchlights on three of its agency helicopters.

The project calls for delivery and installation of the TrakkaBeam TL360. Trakka lights deliver brighter and more consistent illumination while reducing power consumption as compared to older generation systems.

This upgrade will improve visibility, safety and operational efficiency for the police department's aviation unit. CNC's selection was the result of a competitive bid where CNC's value proposition, experience and its service, support and training made CNC the clear choice.

“We are thrilled to continue our relationship with the Pasadena Police Department,” says Alex Giuffrida, founding partner at CNC Technologies, “We will work with Rotorcraft Support Inc. (RSI) to complete the integration and certification of these products. RSI's long history in law enforcement aircraft completions and its history with the Pasadena Police Department makes it a great partner in this project.”
