1. Air 1 2007 Workload Analysis Part I Workload Analysis Part II Opportunities for 2008-2009

2. Air 1 2007 Workload Analysis Calls for Service & Flight Hours 1150 2863 1076 *Average of 11 calls per shift

3. Air 1 2007 Workload Analysis In 2007 it cost Air 1 $384 to respond to a call. To respond to 11 calls in one evening it costs Air 1 $4226 In 2004 Bearing Point used Activity Based Costing to calculate the price for the EPS to send a 2 person patrol car to a call for service. It was $513.36

4. Air 1 2007 Workload Analysis All EPS Criminal Flights Sorted By Time Of Occurrence 54%

5. Air 1 2007 Workload Analysis Criminal Flights Managed By Air 1 By Year 52 52

6. Air 1 2007 Workload Analysis Air-1 Arrests by Year 216 232 347 Average of 1 arrest every 8 calls

7. Air 1 2007 Workload Analysis 2006 2007 94 9 105 18 2006 94 calls with 9 arrest 2007- 105 calls with 18 arrests

8. Air 1 2007 Workload Analysis Response Time - Seconds 2006 2007

9. Air 1 2007 Workload Analysis Air 1 is First on Scene Total Calls in 2007 On Scene First 56%

10. Air 1 2007 Workload Analysis Total Re-Directed Patrol Units August 2007 196 units redirected at a cost of $513.36 per unit 196 X $513.36 = $100,618

11. Air 1 2007 Workload Analysis Edmonton Fire Department Emergency Medical Service RCMP

12. Air 1 Opportunities 2008-2009 Sustain the heavy use of Air-1 by supplementing it with a second helicopter in 2009 Increase flight hours to the maximum amount of 1500 hours in 2009 Increase the # of Criminal Flights managed by at least 29% Attend an additional 25% or 750 calls per year Redirecting additional patrol units back to their districts and communities saving valuable resource time and money

13. Air 1 Opportunities 2008-2009 Make 30% more arrests or remove 100 more serious offenders off the street reducing criminal victimization Continue to work with the other Emergency Services Departments (EFD, EMS & RCMP) Work with the divisional analyst to target hot spots and conduct proactive work to reduce crime and disorder Provide 24/7 helicopter availability currently unavailable 36% of the time

14. Air 1 Opportunities 2008-2009 The costs involved in a new helicopter are two fold: The initial purchase of the asset The operating costs Personnel Non-personnel

15. Air 1 Opportunities 2008-2009 Eurocopter EC120B - $1.65M Equipment Flir, Night Sun, video downlink -$350K Total cost for a new helicopter fully equipped and operational - $2M

16. Air 1 Opportunities 2008-2009 Personnel 1- Flight Officer, 1 Pilot Non-personnel $150K in 2009 - $300K in 2010

17. Air 1 Opportunities 2008-2009 Air1 cannot sustain current workload - increased downtime Business model for Flight Operations Unit refined to maximize capacity &integrate EPS strategic priorities 2007 Workload Analysis demonstrated a dramatic increase in the success of Air1 Opportunity to increase: Criminal flights managed by 29% Arrests by 30% leading to reduced victimization & safer communities Attendance at calls for service by 25% maximize efficiency through the redirection of patrol units Achievement of 7 minute response time to Priority 1 calls Proactive strategies dangerous drivers, construction site thefts 24/7 availability for EPS and partners such as EFD
