The Fort Worth Police Department has signed a purchase agreement for a second Bell.

“Bell is proud the Fort Worth Police Department has chosen to expand their existing all-Bell public safety fleet with the purchase of an additional Bell 505, continuing our long-standing relationship with the Department,” said Lane Evans, managing director, North America. “We remain confident that the Bell 505 platform will continue to be a great asset to the community and surrounding areas for years to come.”

Since its inception, the Fort Worth Police Department Air Support Unit has used a series of Bell aircraft to advance their aerial public safety capabilities, including Bell 47s and Bell 206 Jet Rangers. In 2021, the Department took delivery of their first Bell 505 during a ceremony that commemorated the 70-year relationship between Bell and the Department.
