I don't know what the minimum height limit is, but it seems that in the past several months the police have dispatched their helicopter at night constantly. We live at 6th and Mira Mar, and one minute the neighborhood is quiet and the next minute the helicopter is circling above -- usually west over Redondo -- for however long they are checking something out. I'd like to know what the standard criteria is for when a police helicopter is dispatched? Is this criteria open to public comment? Does the police department keep statistics about how often and how long the helicopter is dispatched to particular neighborhoods? It seems like it's getting worse every year, but we need to look into this.
