Helicoper Traffic Cop
The traffic cop of the air has proved his worth in Connecticut, according to Edward J. Hickey, State Police Commissioner. Seated in a helicopter, Capt. Ralph J. Buckley, head of the traffic division, remained aloft three hours one buSy day recently directing highway operations through radio communication with thirty patrol cars. “I was able to see the entire traffic situation practically at a glance,,’ said Captain Buckley. “In contrast, when you’re directing a large scale traffic problem from the ground you see only what is in the immediate vicinity and have to depend 'upon somebody’s . word for conditions throughout the whole area.”
