Simi Valley Emergency Services Expo 2001

	The four antennas in a box formation are for the lojack system. This copter also has a flir and a moving map.		This is copter 2 with it's brand new paint job (was painted three days ago). Copter 2 used to have an olive drab primer like paint job. VCSO will be taking delivery of two more UH1's later this year. Both Huey's will have winches, water tanks and snorkels just like Copter 7. They will be designated Copter 8 and Copter 9. Copter 9 will have duel engines and Copter 8 will be a Super Huey like Copter 7. The copters are being outfitted right now (I think in Canada). I'd like to thank the pilot "Greg" for taking the time to answer all my questions.
			This is the "L-Band" Motient satellite systems using the Mitsubishi ST-211 & ST-111 radios which provide telephone and push to talk. OES has 5 Talkgroups one of which they refer to as "SKYMARS" and is available for all Public Safety agencies with permission from OES Telecommunications.
	Officer Rick Morton and "Rex" demonstrating the ability of a K-9 to assist an officer in trouble.		The suspect breaks away from the officer and attacks!
	'Here Rex .. Get the bad guy!"		Rex taking a byte out of crime. The "prisoner" is really a Simi Valley Police Officer who was assisting with the demonstration. The Simi Valley K-9 team recently attended a K-9 competition where they took many awards.
	Truck 41		This is my wife, Karen, at the tiller end of Truck 41. Truck 41 is probably one of the most used fire apparatus in Simi Valley.
