During a month-long anti-crime surge in Washington, D.C., U.S. Park Police helicopters circled or hovered over the city seven times more than during the same period the previous year and operated at lower altitudes. That helicopter activity comprised roughly half of nearly 40 hours that local and federal law enforcement helicopters spent flying in circling or hovering patterns.
