NORTH CAROLINA: The Brunswick County Sheriff's Office is pulling out of a multiagency<br />
agreement in which area police agencies share two DoD surplus Bell OH-58 Kiowa<br />
helicopters, and it is arranging to get one of its own.<br />
Brunswick's Chief Deputy Charlie Miller has confirmed that the sheriff's office has sent a<br />
letter to the Wilmington <strong>Police</strong> Department, giving it 60 days' notice that it will be pulling out<br />
of the contract. The cost of Brunswick's share of the helicopters is about $20,000 a year<br />
and they believe going it alone will save them money.<br />
The agreement, called Southeastern North Carolina Airborne Law Enforcement, or SABLE,<br />
is a partnership between the Wilmington and Leland police departments and the sheriff's<br />
offices in Pender and Brunswick counties that started in January 2007. The New Hanover<br />
County Sheriff's Office has had its own helicopter since 2006.
