Occasionally, a plane would fly overhead, but it was only a small fixed-wing aircraft, not a helicopter, and certainly not a police helicopter equipped with thermal imaging.
New Moon City was a very small town, and its public security had always been fairly good, so it was impossible for New Moon City to have a police helicopter equipped with thermal imaging. There was no need for it. Big cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco certainly had them, but San Francisco was far from New Moon City. Even if San Francisco police were to urgently support New Moon City, it would take a long time to arrive.
It was useless to deploy planes from the Air National Guard, because what could those planes do?
