Peshawar: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) police will be given first operational helicopter in November this year, which will be capable of carrying 8 commandoes and 2 doctors-ARY News reports.

Talking to ARY News on Tuesday, police officials told that the chopper will be used for conducting an operation in case of a major terrorist attack.

The chopper and its crew will be ready to cope with any terrorist incident and the district police officers will be able to call it at any time.

Officials told that the chopper could also be used as an air ambulance for taking the injured security personnel to the hospitals in case of a bomb blast or any such incident anywhere in the province.

They said that the police force will be able to give greater output with the addition of the helicopter service.

Moreover, they claimed that if they had this chopper prior to the attacks on Bannu and DI Khan jails, then the terrorists would not have succeeded in making an escape.

I dont think this is the priority... the police should be well paid, well trained, well armed in light weapon if necessary..
chopper is a luxury.
