Every position received from the Los Angeles Police Department's helicopter fleet between 16 August 2025 and 15 August 2026, drawn as accumulated time in the air.
Dark ground means no positions were received there, which is not the same as no helicopter.
The week of 9 to 15 August 2026, played at one day every 24 seconds.
2 minutes 48 seconds, no sound. 282 observed flight hours across 15 helicopters. Reception gaps are left blank, so an aircraft that disappears mid-frame has lost its signal and may still be flying.
Observed time overhead by council district, as published in the dataset. Population is an area-weighted allocation of tract estimates, so per-resident figures are approximations. Territory outside the fifteen districts carries no published dwell figure, and blank is not zero.
| District | Hours overhead | Of which orbiting | Orbit events | Min / km² | Min / 1k residents | Relative |
