Shanghai, China's biggest city, is to purchase three police
helicopters.
The helicopters will help to police traffic, assist in crime
cases and respond to medical and other emergencies, according to the municipal
Public Security Bureau.
They will be used to police nine preliminary Olympic
football matches held in Shanghai in 2008, police said.
China has seven
police helicopter fleets, three police airports and 20 police
helicopters.
The first police helicopter in China was put into use in Wuhan,
capital of central China's Hubei Province in 1994.
Zhengzhou, Shenzhen,
Nanjing, Dalian and Sanmenxia also use police helicopters.
