Washington, District of Columbia
The Metropolitan Police Department 3rd District Heliport was a landing facility supporting police operations in the busy 3rd District, which covers areas like Adams Morgan and the U Street Corridor. It allowed for the staging and landing of police helicopters during operations.
Similar to other district-level pads, its role diminished as the MPD centralized its aviation unit. The site reflects the operational history of the police department's efforts to utilize air support across the diverse neighborhoods of the city.
