The Winnipeg Police Service is in hot water after allowing its taxpayer-funded helicopter to be used for a Hollywood movie shoot.
The helicopter, dubbed “Air One,” was deployed for 72 minutes on Dec. 20 to participate in the film shoot, police said Monday. That 72-minute flight time included take-off, travel, shooting and the return flight to the helicopter pad.
“We flew it and it was filmed being flown,” Insp. John Lutz said at a police news conference.
