At about 10 p.m. on March 21, 1998, I was the flight officer aboard the Ontario, Cali-
fornia, Police Department=s helicopter orbiting a burglary in progress. As I was directing
ground officers to the suspect, the pilot, Pete Ambriz, told me that we were being illumi-
nated by a laser. Fortunately, he could maintain control of the helicopter. After officers
took the suspect into custody, Pete turned in the direction of the laser and flew about 500
feet above the ground. Our aircraft, modified with two strobes for low-level operations in
the area of our international airport, also had a 50-million candlepower searchlight, so we
could be seen for miles.
At that point, I was looking at the horizon and saw the laser beam. It was angled from
the ground below and to the left of the aircraft and was not bright enough to cause concern.
Suddenly, however, it moved up and right and, within an instant, a bright intense red light
covered the front windscreen and interior of the cockpit. The beam was too bright to see
through, and there was no visibility to the front of the aircraft. I could see the beam mov-
ing, and, occasionally, I could see forward as the beam tracked our aircraft. I saw Pete
flying while looking out the left side of the aircraft as he kept his heading. After about 10
seconds, I saw the beam move downward, fade, then turn off. As the beam was moving
away from the aircraft, I could clearly see its source. The beam was so intense, straight,
and bright that it pointed like an arrow to its source. As it was turned off, I saw it glow
down and move north at the rear of a house and then inside what turned out to be the rear
sliding door. Later, I determined the distance to be just over 1 mile, or about 14 city blocks.
I learned from the manufacturer of the device that, at that distance, the beam would have
been approximately 7 feet in diameter.
I directed Pete to the home and had a ground unit respond. The officer contacted the
suspect and retrieved the device. The suspect subsequently admitted aiming the device at
the helicopter and eventually pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor violation of California Penal
Code Section 247.5, Discharging a Laser at an Aircraft. He was sentenced to 3 months in

Arrest-Related Deaths
Arrest-Related Deaths in the United States, 2003-2005 contains data from
the first national measure of all types of arrest-related deaths under a new pro-
gram mandated by the federal Death in Custody Reporting Act (Public Law
106-297). The statute directed all states to report deaths during arrests to remain
eligible for federal correctional grants. This Bureau of Justice Statistics report
provides the number of all arrest-related deaths over a 3-year period by cause of
death and characteristics of the deceased. These fatalities include homicides
(both those by law enforcement officers and other persons), suicides, alcohol or
other drug intoxication deaths, accidental injuries, and fatal medical problems.
The publication lists the deaths by cause for each state, and tables detail the
circumstances surrounding arrest-related deaths, such as the criminal offenses
relating to the arrests, the weapons or other behavior employed by arrest sub-
jects, and the weapons or restraint de-
vices used by officers involved in the
arrest. In addition, the document pres-
