Stated that the helicopters are going back and forth at <br />high speeds and circling near her house.

CHONG via cell phone. RS-15 <br />Comments: <br />It was explained that the helicopters were there to provide guidance to ground personnel and cover for <br />officer's safety due to the ruralness of the area and proximity of a residence where three people were <br />observed to be at. It was also explained that one of the more difficult maneuvers for a helicopter pilot <br />is to hover and that wide circles provides better coverage to identify any potential dangers. <br />Submitted By: Lt.
