DPS chopper planned for city

The next time Northeast Texas authorities need a helicopter, they might not have to call Waco or Garland .

In the July 2009 issue of Texas Monthly Magazine (p.96), Tommy Merritt got a "Dishonorable Mention" on the Worst Legislator page specifically for this.

Is there more to this story?

I think it's a great addition to the law enforcement arsenal no matter what kinda mention he got. One "eye in the sky" is worth many spread out over miles on the ground.

I agree. Unfortunately, as the North Texas population increases, the needs for such equipment will also increase and having another copter available is going to be welcome.

I guess if all the big hospitals have them, there's nothing wrong with the DPS having one around here.

i think it will help IF used right!

It seems like there would be.
