(UAS) safety integration inTO public safety operations Agenda Evolution of integrating small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) safely into the national airspsce system (NAS) Benefits of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems in Public Safety Operations Industry Growth and Future Potential Growth Safety Risk Management for sUAS in Public Safety What The Future Holds Questions (UAS) safety integration inTO public safety operations

The evolution of integrating commercial use of uas into the nas FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 Section 333 - Provided for exemptions while FAAs rulemaking was pending Section 334 called for expediting the issuance of a certificate of authorization process for public agencies Not later than December 31, 2015 - FAA Administrator charged to develop and implement operational and certification requirements for sUAS in the NAS Final rulemaking June 2016. FAA Part 107 Rules in effect August 29, 2016. The evolution of integrating commercial use of uas into the nas

Uas safety integration into public safety operations The Benefits of Integrating sUAS In Public Safety Operations Enhanced search and rescue operations Rapid crime scene mapping Timely accident scene mapping and reconstruction Officer safety through better situational awareness Critical incident response Damage assessments during disaster response Fire management Uas safety integration into public safety operations

Integrating safety with uas industry growth The use of UAS in the public sector and commercial industry has grown significantly during the past year 2016 Estimated commercial use - 20,000 UAS used for commercial purposes 2020 Estimated 7,000,000 UAS operating in the national airspace for commercial purposes Government use, which includes law enforcement, is only 2% of the total industry

Uas safety integration into public safety operations Since the Part 107 rule became effective last August, more than 80,000 individual UAS have been registered for commercial and government purposes. More than 60,000 people have obtained a Remote Pilot Certificate required to operate a drone under Part 107. 2021 – Four years from now—the FAA estimates there could be as many as 1.6 million small UAS (under 55 lbs.) in commercial operation. The FAA is using a risk-based approach to enable increasingly more complex UAS operations, Uas safety integration into public safety operations

UAS safety integration inTO public safety operations There are more than 17,000 state and local law enforcement agencies in the United States, ranging in size from one officer to more than 30,000. There are over 25,900 fire departments listed throughout the United States. Close to 350 emergency responders, such as state and local law enforcement agencies and fire departments have purchased UAS. UAS safety integration inTO public safety operations

Components of UAS safety Programming in Public Safety Tukwila Police UAS Policy & Procedures For sUAS Use The agency must obtain applicable authorizations, permits, or certificates required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) prior to deploying or operating the sUAS, and these authorizations, permits, and certificates shall be maintained and current. The sUAS will be operated only by personnel (pilots and crew members) who have been trained and certified in the operation of the system. The sUAS-certified personnel shall inspect and test sUAS equipment prior to each deployment to verify the proper functioning of all equipment and the airworthiness of the device. The sUAS equipment and all data, images, video, and metadata captured, recorded, or otherwise produced by the equipment is the sole property of the agency Components of UAS safety Programming in Public Safety
