The Ontario Police Air Support Unit started in 1989, operates two Eurocopter AS 350B2, each equipped with NightSun searchlights of 30 million candlepower, L-3/Wescam forward-looking infrared (FLIR), and appropriate radios for communication and navigation.
Since its inception, the Air Support Unit has responded to over 77,000 calls for service and has been first on the scene more than 96% of the time. The Unit has assisted in the recovery of $9 million in illegal drug assets, recovered over $11 million in stolen property, and the arrest of nearly 12,000 suspects.
The Air Support Unit operates 365 days per year. The Unit is comprised of one Sergeant/Pilot, three Police Officer Pilots, three Flight Officers, one relief Flight Officer, and two helicopter mechanics.
In addition to assisting patrol officers in their normal duties, the aircraft also provide assistance to the Identification Unit for aerial photography, and the SWAT Team for their specialized operations, the Detective Bureau and the Narcotics Unit, and occasionally assist other agencies within the City of Ontario.

The H125 (previously designated the AS350 B3e) outclasses all other single-engine helicopters for performance, versatility, low maintenance, and low acquisition costs, while also excelling in high-and-hot and extreme environments. It is a member of Airbus’ Ecureuil family, which has accumulated over 40 million flight hours worldwide.
The Eurocopter AS350 Écureuil (or Squirrel), now Airbus Helicopters H125, is a single-engine light utility helicopter originally designed and manufactured in France by Aérospatiale and Eurocopter (now Airbus Helicopters). In North America, the AS350 is marketed as the AStar. The AS355 Ecureuil 2 is a twin-engine variant, marketed in North America as the TwinStar.
The Eurocopter EC130 (Airbus Helicopters H130) is a derivative of the AS350 airframe and is considered by the manufacturer to be part of the Écureuil single-engine family.

It was nice meeting you that day Ed. I think you are the first one to get this particular H125 on video. It only had about 40 or 50 hours since new when you took this. Thanks for getting these videos for us fellow SoCal aviation enthusiasts,
