The Kansas City Missouri Police Department will be getting a special delivery from the U.S. Army at about 7 p.m. Tuesday.

The Army will deliver a surplus helicopter to the Helicopter Unit at 4601 Eastern. The Special Operations helicopter from Fort Campbell, will beef KCPD’s helicopter fleet up to four choppers. The 1972 helicopter has a better engine than those currently in KCPD’s fleet and is valued at about $200,000. The Army is giving it to the police department at no cost. A similar new helicopter without police equipment would cost about $1.5 million, said Captain Pat Grove, commander of the Patrol Support Unit.

Like the one they will receive Tuesday, KCPD’s helicopters all are from the Vietnam War era. But the new helicopter features an upgraded engine with more power and the ability to be rebuilt, which will save the department a significant amount of money. The existing helicopters have engines that have to be completely replaced after 1,000 hours of flight time.
