The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office RAVEN Helicopter was responding to


Depoali Middle School on a report of a Suspicious Vehicle. RAVEN located the
vehicle and was observing the vehicle until a Patrol Unit arrived on scene, when
the RAVEN Crew – a pilot & observer, noticed that an engine warning light had
been activated. The aircraft exhibited no loss of power or engine function, but
established safety protocols dictated that the aircraft land immediately as a
precautionary measure.

The RAVEN Crew conducted a safe landing in a large vacant field near South
Meadows Pkwy & Veterans Pkwy, well away from any bystanders, vehicles, or
buildings. The pilot & observer suffered no injuries and the aircraft sustained no
damage.
