Beijing police are monitoring holiday crowds from helicopters on Saturday, as the week-long Spring Festival holiday ended yesterday.
The Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau set up a police aviation fleet in July 2011 to enhance its emergency response capability.
Airborne police have since watched holiday crowds at major destinations, and kept tabs on fire disasters and other firework-related accidents aboard helicopters.
