The COPS Training Portal is pleased to announce the availability of a new course, Use of Drones by Public Safety Agencies: An Introduction, created by the Virginia Center for Policing Innovation (VCPI).
Use of Drones by Public Safety Agencies: An Introduction explores the emerging use of drone technology to maximize resources and enhance public safety. It is intended for public safety agencies interested in or having started a drone program. The purpose of this course is to provide an overview of current drone use in agencies, pre-implementation strategies for consideration, foundations for agency-level programs, and the future outlook of drone technology.
Participants should expect to spend approximately 1 hour exploring the content and resources in this course. The design of the course allows participants to stop and resume the training based on the demands of their schedule.
