Established in 1969, the Macedonian Police Helicopter Unit has always been considered the most elite element of the Macedonian internal security forces. However, compared to similar units across the world, the unit, which operates a small fleet of just three Bell-designed helicopters, has achieved very limited growth over the last 35 years. Two of its helicopters, an Agusta-Bell AB206B and an AB212, have been in the inventory since Macedonia was part of the former Yugoslavia. The only addition has been a Bell 412EP delivered to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in November 2000.
