The education department at the US Academy of Model Aeronautics has partnered with Fly Robotics to produce a drone training programme for public safety officers. The UAS 4 Public Safety course will equip officers to responsibly operate unmanned aircraft systems as part of their work. “Drones are becoming increasingly popular in law enforcement and emergency response,” said Dr David Jones, director of flight operations at the academy. These skills are then tested in a series of "live flight" public safety scenarios.
