CLASS 8:30 AM – 9:30 AM

TRACK: PUBLIC SAFETY

SPEAKER: SGT. DANIEL MAREK

While many people still see Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) as toys, Public Safety agencies across the United States are adopting their use. UAVs are now used to document crime scenes and more. The use of UAVs is also making Public Safety missions cheaper, faster and safer. This class will review actual photos and videos from different departments across the United States and learn the backstory of how and why the UAV was used. We will also look at the lessons learned by these agencies as they started their programs. This is a session for those that are looking to start their own agency’s UAV program and want examples of how UAVs can supplement current technology.
