The Chino Police Department in California has upgraded its Bell 505 helicopter with Trakka Systems’ Total Mission Solution (TMS), enhancing its capabilities in aerial surveillance, emergency response and law enforcement operations.
The TMS installation includes the TrakkaCam TC-300 Gen II EO/IR imaging system, TrakkaBeam TLX high-intensity searchlight and the TrakkaMaps TM-100 mapping and video management system. This integrated suite delivers improved surveillance capability, nighttime illumination, real-time mapping and superior mission coordination. By investing in this advanced solution, Chino PD has strengthened its public safety commitment within the rapidly growing city.
Mike Kipphorn, western sales director for Trakka Systems, says: “Trakka Systems is proud to support the Chino Police Department with our Total Mission Solution, ensuring it has the most advanced tools available to protect and serve its community. The addition of critical vision technologies on the Bell 505 helicopter enhances the aircrew's situational awareness and improves response times. Officers are better equipped to follow suspects, assist in search and rescue missions and support ground operations in real-time.”
