The Army originally paid 244,780 for the Bell UH1B helicopter. Bastedo, 31, said that motorists on the state's highways are already reacting to the presense of the olive drab craft with its newly acquired blue and yellow state police decal. "We hear constantly from the CBers.

John Mulligan, the pilots' superior in the department's Emergency Services Division, said the craft's presence in the air reduces fatal accidents by slowing down speeders. The six helicopters used by the Maryland state police have reduced state fatalities by 35 per cent, he said.
