4. The evolution of integrating commercial use of uas into the nas
FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012
Section 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, FAA Administrator charged to develop and implement operational and certification requirements for sUAS in the NAS
Final rulemaking June FAA Part 107 Rules in effect August 29, 2016.

5. 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

6. 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

7. 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,

8. 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.

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
