About

PolAir is the aerial support unit of the NSW Police Force, providing critical resources for law enforcement and emergency operations across New South Wales. This unit is particularly vital for search and rescue missions in challenging terrains, offering aerial surveillance and support that significantly aids ground teams. Recently, PolAir was involved in the extensive search for 18-year-old Lily Hooper, who went missing while hiking in Nattai National Park. Despite a week-long search effort, which likely utilized PolAir's capabilities for aerial reconnaissance, the tragic discovery of Ms. Hooper's body was made. The involvement of PolAir in such high-profile missing person cases underscores its essential role in public safety and its capacity to assist in locating individuals in remote or difficult-to-access areas, highlighting the ongoing importance of its services to the community.
