FLY LIKE YOU TRAIN
As public safety administrators, it is important to ensure that your department has access to the latest and most effective technology to assist in keeping your community safe. Drones have become an increasingly popular tool for public safety agencies, and disaster response. However, before purchasing a drone, there are several key considerations that must be taken into account to ensure that the drone is safe, effective, and legally compliant. UAV operators must train with their equipment on a regular basis in order to stay proficient. Although it looks like it, this aircraft is not a toy, it’s a highly advanced and technically capable tool.
"SOLUTIONS FIRST"
Drones can be a valuable tool for public safety agencies but it is important to carefully consider all relevant factors before making a purchase.
