The Police Department in Ogden, Utah, will be the first metropolitan police force in the world to use a crime-fighting blimp.

The $14,000, helium-filled ‘HB50 Hyperblimp’ measures 54ft in length airship can stay airborne for seven hours at a time with a top speed of 40mph. It packs a radar transponder and two CCTV cameras.

Apparently it did not function very well in wet and windy weather. One would have thought that this might have occurred to the police of a notoriously wet and windy town…

 

Now they just use UAV's, although the latest has been grounded because it's unlicenced!
