Is there a @SDSheriff helicopter flying over your area making announcements? We have a new service to keep you informed. Call or text "Hello" to (858) 866-HELO (4356) to receive messages straight to your phone. This is only available in our patrol areas.

Thank you @mrdud6. Orbit, altitude, location, wind & other noise can affect the quality of a loudspeaker announcement even with our new helicopters. This was the best way we can directly communicate with the people we serve since everyone knows how to make a phone call or text.
