Hard for me to believe that D.C. police could afford two choppers.
Is there a Web site where the different makes are shown in profile so
I could learn to identify them?


Strangely, the DC Metro police don't have anything on their webs site
about their aviation unit. (This is usually something that PDs brag
about.) They mention on their web site in one place that they have one
but no mention of the aircraft they use.

Being DC though they may use federal helos on an as needed basis in
addition to what they have in their own inventory.



Maybe that explains it. Indeed, I've seen a Park Police 'copter
overhead in the
past, definitely outside its usual haunts.
