 The Winnipeg Police Service has apologized for inadvertently broadcasting an "inappropriate" conversation between officers aboard the Air1 helicopter on a loudspeaker system Monday night. 
 
 But it’s too early to determine what type of disciplinary action the three officers involved will face, police spokesman Const. Jason Michalyshen said Tuesday.

 "We’re sincerely apologetic about it. We’re going to review the situation, I can assure you, and members of the executive are very much aware of the sensitivity and the nature of what was broadcast, and they will be looking into it and ultimately make a determination from there," he said. 
 
 Disciplinary measures will "absolutely" be part of the internal review, he said. 
 
 The police helicopter Air1 was watching over the city on routine patrol around 9:30 p.m. when its public-address system was mistakenly switched on, allowing residents in several neighbourhoods to hear crude remarks from the flight crew. 
 
 The three officers in the helicopter couldn’t hear their own broadcast and didn’t immediately realize the loudspeaker was on, turning it off a few minutes later. The police service is still trying to find out whether human error or a technical mishap was responsible for the accidental broadcast, Michalyshen said. 
 
 Meanwhile, the Winnipeg Police Association is concerned the slip-up may suggest a public-safety issue. 
 
 Vice-president George Van Mackelbergh said the association is concerned potential suspects could have overheard privileged police information, and questions how helicopter systems can be switched on without the flight crew’s knowledge. 
 
 "What’s concerning is if an external system, and this time it was the PA, could be activated without a warning to the pilot, that’s a question that’s got to be asked, because what happens next time if it’s the system that dumps fuel?" he said. "Lives could be at stake, definitely multimillion dollars worth of equipment." 
 
 The terms speakerphone and whoops were trending on Twitter Monday night, according to @TrendsWinnipeg, after several people posted about overhearing the conversation. 
 
 West-end resident Brandi Armstrong said she and her husband overheard comments from male officers about oral sex and "too much body hair." 
 
 "It kind of angered me, in a way, thinking that they’re supposed to be role models to the community, supposed to serve and protect, and they’re using that language. I understand they’re in a helicopter and the general public wasn’t supposed to be hearing it, but still," they shouldn’t be talking like that in a workplace, she said. 
 
 Jacob Serebrin was sitting near the legislature grounds Monday evening when an amplified voice boomed from above amid whirling propeller noise. He didn’t immediately know what he was hearing, but soon realized the coarse language and casual tone were snippets of what was clearly meant to be a private conversation. He heard something about paying "600 (expletive) dollars a week" and police-radio chatter for about five minutes before the loudspeaker was switched off. 
 
 "Based on what I heard, I thought it was pretty funny. It was just sort of a silly situation that was a little absurd that they were having this conversation over the loudspeaker," he said. 
 
 Serebrin, who lives in Montreal and is visiting Winnipeg, said he was trying to keep the gaffe in perspective. 
 
 "In the context of when you look at recent incidents in the States, with shootings and violence and abuse of power and corruption, these are all much more serious things than a few off-colour comments over a loudspeaker. I think if we’re going to be concerned about police misbehaviour and if there’s going to be discipline in this situation, it should be proportional to that." 
 
 The officers involved hadn’t sought advice from the Winnipeg Police Association Tuesday, vice-president Van Mackelbergh said, but the association is ready to advocate on their behalf when the police service finishes its review. 
 
 "There’s no doubt that they’re embarrassed. They’re embarrassed for the citizens, the service and themselves," said Van Mackelbergh, adding he hadn’t spoken to the three officers but knows the flight operations team is close-knit.

 Twitter trend 
 
 The terms 'speakerphone' and 'whoops' were trending on Twitter Monday night, according to @TrendsWinnipeg, after several people posted about overhearing the conversation. 
 
 Does the #Winnipeg chopper realize the entire West End can hear their convo about blow jobs right now? @winnipeg311 #speakerphone #whoops — Natanielle (@natncello) June 23, 2015

 Pilots in the Winnipeg police helicopter having a conversation with their loudspeaker on. Pretty funny to hear. #Winnipeg #wpgpolice — Jacob Serebrin (@jacobserebrin) June 23, 2015 ||||| A Winnipeg woman who heard two police officers in a helicopter broadcast comments about oral sex — comments they made without realizing their public address system was on — says she wants them disciplined. 
 
 The talk aboard the Winnipeg police chopper, also known as Air-1, sparked some Twitter conversation Monday night. (Brian Bowman/Twitter) The Winnipeg Police Service has already apologized for the incident, which happened while the pair and one other officer were on routine patrol aboard the Air-1 helicopter on Monday evening. 
 
 A news release from the police said the officers inadvertently activated the PA system and "as a result, the flight crew's conversation was publicly broadcast [and] some content of the conversation was inappropriate." 
 
 "The involved members were not able to hear the public address system from within the aircraft. They became aware their conversation had been broadcast and immediately turned the system off." 
 
 Residents in the city's downtown, North End and West End reported hearing parts of the officers' conversations, which at one point touched on oral sex. 
 
 Brandi Armstrong said she and her husband were sitting outside their West End home at around 9:30 p.m. CT when the chopper flew above them. 
 
 Armstrong said she heard one officer ask, "Can you give me a blowjob?" 
 
 She said another officer replied, "You have too much body hair." 
 
 "Shocked, surprised. My jaw hit the ground; eyes bulged out," Armstrong said, adding that her husband was also surprised. 
 
 "He just looked at me and started laughing and said, 'Did you hear that, honey? Did you really hear that?'" 
 
 Remarks posted online 
 
 Parts of the officers' conversation were quickly posted on Twitter and then spread further across social media. 
 
 The tweets started about 10 p.m. CT and caused hashtags like #whoops and #speakerphone to trend in the Winnipeg area. 
 
 One of the first people to tweet about overhearing the remarks, Natanielle Felicitas, told CBC News she was enjoying a nice evening in her backyard with friends when the voices came from the sky. 
 
 "We paused to listen and were shocked by what we heard. It was a hilarious and inappropriate human blooper moment," she wrote in an email. "I rarely tweet, but this moment seemed too bizarre not to share."

 Jacob Serebrin was walking with a friend near the Manitoba Legislature when they heard loud voices coming from above. 
 
 "We look up and there it is passing over and the two men in the helicopter were having a conversation, and we could hear part of it — some swears and some references to money," he said, adding he did not hear a specific reference to fellatio. 
 
 "Everyone does have private conversations in the workplace," Serebrin said. "But you know, there's certain things that are inappropriate for any workplace." 
 
 The police service said the incident is being reviewed and the outcome "will be determined at a later time." 
 
 "The Winnipeg Police Service, the Flight Operations Unit, and the involved members sincerely apologize to all members of the public, especially those who overheard the broadcast," the release states in part. 
 
 But Armstrong said she believes the officers involved should be disciplined, because children in the area could have easily heard their remarks. 
 
 "A police officer, they hold a very important job. Tons of people look up to them. Children look up to them," she said. 
 
 "I mean, you're setting a bad example for children. It's almost saying it's OK to speak like this."
– "Does the Winnipeg chopper realize the entire West End can hear their convo about blow jobs right now?" a woman in the Canadian city tweeted Monday night—and the answer, apparently, was no. Large parts of the city were able to listen in on an explicit conversation between two of the three officers in the police helicopter after its PA system was accidentally switched on during a routine patrol, the CBC reports. One West End resident tells the CBC that she was shocked, but her husband cracked up laughing as they heard one officer ask, "Can you give me a blow job?" and another officer reply, "You have too much body hair" as the chopper flew over their home. Before the officers realized the mistake and turned the PA off, residents took to social media to share snippets of the conversation—and complain that they missed the X-rated parts. Police have apologized and say disciplinary measures for the officers involved are being considered, the Winnipeg Free Press reports. "We're sincerely apologetic about it," a spokesman says. "We're going to review the situation, I can assure you, and members of the executive are very much aware of the sensitivity and the nature of what was broadcast, and they will be looking into it and ultimately make a determination from there."
