Mesa Police are using infrared technology in their helicopter to track and capture fugitives in real time. In a recent case, officers swiftly arrested a suspect who had exposed himself at Skyline Park in east Mesa. As the suspect fled into a residential area, the infrared camera detected his heat signature—even when he attempted to hide in a trash can. This advanced aerial surveillance gave officers a comprehensive view of the suspect’s movements, allowing ground units to move in for a quick arrest. Mesa Police credit their air support unit as a game-changer in ensuring public safety, providing nighttime visibility that traditional methods lack.
