NJ State Police Helicopter Lands At Mt. Horeb School

Students learned all about what it is like to pilot a helicopter with the New Jersey State Police.

WARREN, NJ — A New Jersey State Police(NJSP) Helicopter dropped in to visit Mt. Horeb Elementary School students and staff on Friday.

The helicopter circled the landing zone several times before it began its descent. The pilots later explained that determining a safe landing location takes time and great attention to detail. The event was coordinated by NJSP Detective Sergeant Shawn Brach.

"While the highlight was the landing and take off of the helicopter, the pilots shared much detail about their jobs, and the students had many questions. It was a great event for all!" said Scott Cook, Principal of Mt. Horeb School.
