El Karacho1647545492 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I wouldn't worry until they start dropping things on your neighborhood. That happened when I lived right near there. Geographically it's somewhat close to the Hilltop so we had choppers flying overhead all the time. I got used to it, never bothered me.

87GT Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Put in a complaint for north linden for me.

Mojoe Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Most of it has been said. Good and bad. Thrish, I think you guys just moved. But, being on the edge of the city may be something to consider, should you move again. We love being left alone, where I make all the noise in my area. It sounds like you have some recent activity in your area. More than likely that will calm down and the birds will be less often. If not, that's probably an influance to move. I'd take it for what it is for now and be sure you have a safe plan for you home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wonder if its because we have an active facebook group now that im noticing it, or if it really is a recent turn in the community. Its always been a VERY nice neighborhood and safe. Ive opted to just let my nerves calm down and I am (despite what people are taking from this post) rather trusting of the police. I respect them, and the work they do. You guys have enlightened me to some information that i wasnt aware of that will allow me to educate the people of the neighborhood (like the infrared/body heat camera and the constant flight status) Maybe help calm some nerves there as well. As a side bar- if it has the infrared, why use a spotlight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyM3rC Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Duh, if you had a giant super spotlight, wouldn't you use it? I hear ya. Life flight flies over my house like clockwork, always slightly annoying until they're ridiculously low, and have to rewind netflix. Cbus has been flying around my neighborhood too, they're usually gone in a few minutes. Prob some officer stalking an ex or trying to scare something, there's no crime around here :gabe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87GT Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Next time you are outside and you get a spotlight shined on you from above just wave at it. They will not see you as a threat and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 You don't sound sound like you are over-reacting... You sound like a little bitch. They are doing their jobs, if people are worked-up about it then they sound like "little bitches" too. Reality is, you could complain to the CPD, and they aren't going to do anything... Other then think you are a little bitch. Either way you slice it, your man card gets pulled. My advice, buy a gun and a chest rig. Sounds like you livin on Crenshaw. Y'gon need it playa. This made me chuckle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 If they're being dispatched to your area that often, maybe you are correct in feeling uneasy? I'm wired differently I guess. I'd thank them, not file a complaint against them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybe Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 I think we have 4 choppers IIRC. It seems like you're interested in police activity. Peruse these and follow up Here is a list of codes: http://www.columbuspolice.org/aboutcpd/10codecp.pdf Cars are designated by Precinct -- unit 181 is 18th Precinct, car 1. They'll add 9 for overflow units, like 9181. S for supervisor, L for lieutenant. Here is a zone and precinct map: http://www.columbuspolice.org/Maps/Citywide%20Overview%20Maps%20-%20Revised%2011-2011.pdf Live Zone 2 audio: http://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/9074 Zone 5: http://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/17523 Zones 1-5 combined [citywide]: https://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/11208/web Per the 2010 Census, Columbus is the 15th most populous city in the United States, with a population of 787,033, and is the largest city in the state of Ohio. Columbus covers approximately 222 square miles, the majority of which lies in Franklin County, but the city also reaches into Fairfield and Delaware Counties. The Columbus Division of Police is a force of 1,827 sworn personnel and 297 civilians, and falls within the top 25 largest police departments in the U.S. The Division’s sworn personnel have an average age of 42 with an average 15 years of service.

The Division has 1,611 males (88%) and 216 females (12%); females account for 24 (8.3%) of the 290 supervisory positions. The Division is a large family, and many personnel are related either by marriage or birth And here's the citizen ride-along request form: http://www.columbuspolice.org/FormsPublications/U-10.119%20Citizen%20Ride-Along%20Form.pdf This morning, Karl Rd is closed at 161 for a body from a shooting at the strip club ~5:30AM. That's, ya know, two blocks from me. I'll take all the choppers I can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 I must live around the corner from you. I've been hearing them out more and I thought it was strange. The apartment complexes have some sketchy citizens that have been branching out lately. You want them there. And Bob.. Calm down. You sound like that retarded cousin that no one wants to claim they are related to Being all mean to Trish for no reason. I will admit though... I chuckled a little.

Nick Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 I have 3 good friends that are CPD pilots, and believe it or not, you can do a civilian ride along in the chopper. CPD has 6 choppers. Only 1 has the FLIR - its 6 figures for the camera. They fly from noon until 4 AM, and there is always a chopper in the air. The helipad is almost in the hilltop, off west broad st. They fly with a pilot and a radio man, in 2 hour shifts. 2 hours up, two hours down/rest. They dont just buzz neighborhoods, most of the time they are first on scene. If your woman is laying out getting her tan on, she may get a flyby..... They can reach 160mph with a tailwind. They have a great relationship with the airport, and can call the tower and delay flights if they are after someone on the area and deemed important. They dont have enough power to hover - they have to keep moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i lived in a crappy part of town and they paid us a visit(which was quite often), it would orbit in a tight circle. Its pretty cool to watch as its so agile.
