Ontario spends $134M to buy 5 police helicopters for Ottawa, Toronto, Durham, Halton, and Peel regions.

Ontario will spend $134 million to purchase five police helicopters for use in Ottawa, Toronto, and police forces in Durham, Halton, and Peel regions. The decision to buy rather than lease the helicopters came at a $100 million increase from the province's March budget allocation for leasing four choppers. The helicopters will help combat auto theft, carjackings, street racing, and impaired driving.
