Obviously these helicopters do attract a lot of attention. Richard's discussion relates to their being here at a different time. Maybe the use of helicopters has been stepped up since the riots - perhaps its easier to spot trends and larger movements of crowds. Can anyone make it to one of the Safer Neighbourhood Team surgeries to ask the question?

Maybe letting people know what's going on should be one of the Crouch End safer neighbourhood team's priorities.

Just found out it was in response to a missing three year old. Three year old reportedly found. Brian who runs Fun Yum in Priory Park is a font of knowledge!

A man was stabbed today in Priory Park, that's why the helicopter came to air lift him to hospital. My daughter and her friends were making their way home from school, they cut through the park.
