US police

A US police department is training officers to fly powered paragliders for search and rescue operations and surveillance.

The department in Palm Bay, Florida, is training four officers during a six month trial of the equipment.

Lt Mark Renkins is training on the machines and says it is much more fun than patrolling in a car.

Phil Russman, a glider instructor, says the police could get a lot done by using the paragliders.

Greetzzz,

Yvin.
