We’ve explored the AZDPS Aviation Bureau in two previous episodes—hearing from a paramedic and a fixed-wing pilot—but now it’s time to take to the skies with one of our helicopter pilots.
Meet State Trooper Kenan Bahadir, a rotary-wing (helicopter) pilot with AZDPS. In this episode, he shares the experiences that led him to this career path, along with another passion he brings to the job: using his camera and social media skills to promote the Department and share the incredible work done by our Aviation Bureau!
