Police apologize for X-rated chopper talk inadvertently broadcast to public

The Winnipeg Police Service has apologized for the comments of three helicopter pilots, which at one point touched on oral sex, who didn't realize their public address system was on at the time.

The three, aboard AIR1, were on routine patrol on Monday evening when they inadvertently activated the system. "As a result, the flight crew's conversation was publicly broadcast [and] some content of the conversation was inappropriate," stated a press release from the WPS. "The involved members were not able to hear the public address system from within the aircraft.

"They became aware their conversation had been broadcast and immediately turned the system off. The Winnipeg Police Service, the Flight Operations Unit, and the involved members sincerely apologise to all members of the public, especially those who overheard the broadcast," the release said, adding the incident is being reviewed and the outcome "will be determined at a later time."

One person who overheard the remarks, Natanielle Felicitas, said that she was enjoying a nice evening in her backyard with friends when the extra voices came from the sky. "We paused to listen and were shocked by what we heard. It was a hilarious and inappropriate human blooper moment," she said.
