Air Patrol Division (Lower Mainland Constabulary)

The Air Patrol Division is one of thirteen divisions of the Lower Mainland Constabulary's Patrol Directorate. While its primary purpose is to provide air support to the patrol and emergency response operations of the constabulary, all other aviation units are also part of the Air Patrol Division, regardless of their actual purpose. For example, the Lower Mainland Constabulary (LMC) owns and operates two Bombardier CRJ-200 aircraft for important executive transport, as well as a single McDonnell-Douglas MD-11 for logistical purposes, both of which are operated by pilots of the Air Patrol Division. The Air Patrol Division has a total of 14 operational aircraft, 8 rotary wing (helicopters) and 6 fixed wing (airplanes).

Units

 * 1st Rotary Wing Patrol Unit (AP-1): Each Rotary Wing Patrol Unit operates a single Sikorsky S-76 utility helicopter for air patrol and air support purposes, as well as a second S-76 which remains grounded unless needed to replace the main S-76 temporarily while undergoing repairs, refurbishment, etc. This means that the LMC owns six S-76 helicopters, but only ever uses 3 at a time, with each Rotary Wing Unit having only enough pilots, mechanics and other support personnel to operate a single helicopter at a time;
 * 2nd Rotary Wing Patrol Unit (AP-2): See above;
 * 3rd Rotary Wing Patrol Unit (AP-3): See above;
 * Police Aviation Training Unit (KPA-PAT): Technically part of the Kennedy Police Academy hierarchy but integrated into the Air Patrol Division, responsible for training all LMC pilots; operates a single Bell 206L LongRanger for rotary wing training, and a single Cessna 208B Grand Caravan for fixed wing training;
 * Transport & Logistics Unit (AP-TL): Responsible for the airlift and logistics transport needs of the constabulary; operates a single McDonnell Douglass MD-11, and a single Sikorsky CH-148 Cyclone helicopter purchased from the Royal Canadian Air Force;
 * Executive Air Transport Unit (AP-EX): Responsible for transportation of executive-ranking LMC officers and other senior officials, operating two Bombardier CRJ-200 jet aircraft;
 * 1st Auxiliary Air Transport Unit (AP-Aux1): Responsible for any air transport needs unable to be satisfied by above units; both 1st and 2nd Aux units each operate a single CRJ-200 of their own, and have the right to use the grounded S-76 of a Rotary Wing Patrol Unit if rotary wing air transport is required;
 * 2nd Auxiliary Air Transport Unit (AP-Aux2): See above.
