Law
Enforcement’s
Uses of Drones
In Crime Fighting And As
Deterrent Against Terrorism
By Jim Weiss and Mickey Davis
Is there public opposition
to drones being used
by American law
enforcement? You bet.
People feel they will be
used to spy on American
citizens; however, there
was similar opposition
when police switched
from revolvers to carrying
pistols, when Armored
Rescue Vehicles came
into use, when SWAT
was formed, and when
TASERS® began to be
used.
A sheriff’s office in Florida used a drone
to monitor the actions of a subject in a car
with a gun. In the San Francisco Bay Area,
law enforcement used a drone to help track
and apprehend a carjacking/attempted kid-
napping suspect. In Ohio, the Knox County
Sheriff ’s Office used a drone during a
standoff at an apartment building where the
suspect was barricaded inside. The SWAT
team broke out the residence’s windows
and used the drone to look through upstairs
windows to get a better idea of where the
suspect was located.
Law enforcement’s UASs (unmanned air-
craft systems) are primarily mission- and
incident-driven. Images collected using this
technology are handled and retained within
industry standards, consistent with im-
ages collected by any camera used by law
enforcement. However in some situations
like a search for evidence, a search warrant
might be needed or advisable.
Have drones also been used by bad guys?
Yes. They’ve been used to fly near manned
aircraft such as passenger planes, to fly over
prohibited airspace, and to deliver drugs
within correctional institutions. Drone em-
ployment by terrorists is a potentially deadly
threat – including recon, explosives, etc.
Recently, a drone shut down London’s Gat-
wick Airport for a couple of days causing
travel inconveniences for thousands and the
cancellation of a few hundred flights. Ter-
rorism was a suspected possible cause, but
this was discounted. The following month a
drone flew in the restricted airport
airspace in Newark, New Jersey.
In the USA the most common
violations in the uses of drones are
flying in prohibited air space. In
recent years, one was flown.

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) pose an increasing threat to the aviation sector due to the rapid proliferation of the technology into civilian hands. UAS can be weaponized by malicious actors, while non-malicious UAS operators may inadvertently interfere with aviation-related activities. There have been numerous aviation-related incidents involving UAS in recent years.
The Counter Drone Systems (anti drone) Market Industry is expected to grow from USD 3,965.0 Million in 2022 to USD 8,749.0 Million by 2022, at a CAGR of 18.7% between 2022 and 2032.
This program can help you answer the following ques-tions about UAVs and fire department operations
• How can sUAS be used to enhance emergency and non-emergency fire department operations?
• How do federal, state, and local laws and regulations impact fire de-partment use of sUAS?
• What are the potential costs of using SUASs in fire department opera-tions?
• What are the political, social, and other non-regulatory considerations of using sUAS in fire department operations?

Smart mining involves the application of intelligent technologies that can greatly improve the quality of mining by enhancing high production, improved safety of operations, sustainable environmental management, and effective mine communication. The world is campaigning for sustainable utilization and exploitation of mineral resources by zero waste and zero mine accidents. Hence to realize this dream, the adoption of smart mining is becoming a priority. Smart mining entails that intelligent technologies are incorporated in the operations of the mines, these technologies include UAVs, robotics and artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT) and different sensors.These technologies are at the helm of safer, faster and more effective collection of big data for better production planning, safety monitoring, transportation and fleet management, and real time monitoring of mining operations. The benefit of these technologies include effective decision making and more efficient response to safety emergencies of the mine. This study classifies UAV’s based on wing type design, Altitude, Size and payload and weight and wingspan. Highlights are made of the different applications, advantages and challenges of UAVs and IoT in surface mine operations.

Caveats
3. PREMISE (Nationwide)
Unmanned Aircraft Systems/Vehicles [UAS/V] usage has increased exponentially on the national scene over the
past decade. While initially only highlighted in media outlets as assets assigned to the Department of Defense
(DOD), unmanned aircraft are now being constructed and marketed with commercial, private, and non-DOD
government users in mind.
The regulatory agency tasked with control over the National Airspace System (NAS), the FAA, has been
disappointing in providing federal guidance on the usage, control, restriction, and operation of UAS within the
NAS. While FAA guidance exists on different levels, they largely fail to explain how UAVs are to be operated
within the NAS.
In the absence of federal guidance many states, counties, and municipalities have taken it upon themselves to
regulate, restrict, and otherwise dictate how UAVs are to be operated within their respective jurisdictions.
Several states have set up task forces to determine the level of operation of UAS permitted, while other states
have attempted to prohibit UAV usage altogether (i.e. CA).
The FAA has set a self-imposed goal of fully articulating/explaining/ensuring UAV usage within the NAS, to be in
conjunction with the implementation of the Next Generation Airspace System. However, several key
checkpoints have been missed.
4. PREMISE (Nationwide)
Pulaski County OEM (in VA) purchased a DGI Phantom III for its SAR Management Team (10212015).
[http://www.southwesttimes.com/2015/10/emergency-services-adds-drone-to-its-arsenal/]
As of 10012015, NV has tasked their Department of Public Safety to be the “agency of contact” for
registration of UAVs operated for public agency usage (See AB 239)
[http://dps.nv.gov/resources/Unmanned_Aerial_Vehicle/]
See Section 9.a.3. of latest FAA Policy regarding UAS operations, dated 10272015. “Emergency COA
(ECOA). The FAA must ensure procedures are available to accommodate real-time applications that will
directly support emergency and law enforcement-type operations. When a public proponent needs an
ECOA for a quick response event (i.e. police operation, natural disaster, etc.) the request is made directly to
the FAA Systems Operation Security, AJR-2. Emergency UAS COAs will not be considered for demonstration
flights, flights to test capabilities or training.”
5. PREMISE (Nationwide)
NPRM 107
Outlines expectations of sUAS.
Congressional mandate came out in 2012; NPRM 107 released 02152015.
Provides for a method to have sUAS operate within NAS, with exception of Class A Airspace.
“The FAA has accommodated non-recreational small UAS use through various mechanisms, such as special
airworthiness certificates, exemptions, and certificates of waiver or authorization (COA). This proposed rule would
be the next phase of integrating small UAS into the NAS. The following are examples of possible small UAS
operations that could be conducted under this proposed framework: […]”
Aiding certain rescue operations such as locating snow avalanche victims;
Aerial photography;
Look to June/July 2016!
6. PREMISE (Statewide)
Colorado was not selected to be a FAA-approved UAV test site. However, industry leaders took it upon
themselves to proceed with the advancement of UAV technology, particularly to serve the interests of
Colorado technological advancement, pioneering, and economic development.
There are many organizations that serve as “forums” for entrepreneurial, start-up companies located
throughout the State of Colorado. Some, like UAS Colorado, are non-profit while some, like Rocky
Mountain UAS, are for-profit.
Colorado (as a state) has yet to pass legislation related to UAV usage. In contrast, several states, as
previously mentioned, have attempted to pass legislation on their own accord.
Mesa County Sheriff’s Department has an internal UAV Team that utilizes two unmanned aircraft models.
The current agreement between Mesa County and the FAA approves most UAV operations throughout
Mesa County in daylight.
7. WHY UAVs for CDPS?
UAVs have only just begun to enter to civilian, commercial, non-governmental markets. Much of the
momentum comes in fact, from entrepreneurial, “start-up” manufacturers, NOT established aerospace
defense agencies.
UAVs are already heavily marketed with public safety, emergency management users in mind as the
primary non-DOD, governmental operators. The different kinds of sensors available, in conjunction with
their portability and lightweight characteristics, make it easy for UAVs to become flying sensors.
Some UAV manufacturers already utilize the “modular sensor” concept in their designs. For example, the
UAV is considered to be more of a delivery system for sensors that fit in standardized compartment
modules. This way, sensors of different types can be employed and swapped out rapidly.
8. WHY UAVs for CDPS?
UAVs can be employed by CDPS in the following examples:
If a communications / cell tower goes down, UAVs with cell phone repeaters can be tasked with orbiting an area in
shifts to maintain communications until the tower is repaired.
In the event of a Search and Rescue mission, a UAV could be employed with appropriate sensors (thermal imaging,
infrared, electro-optical) to assist rescue teams. Depending on the size of the search grid, several UAVs could
theoretically be employed simultaneously to help locate the missing person.
In the event of a wildfire, UAVs could orbit over the wildfire to maintain long-term imagery of the behavior of the
wildfire. UAV aerial firefighting would exclude actual usage of water or flame retardant for the time being since most
commercial/civilian UAVs (currently) do not have that capacity.
In the event of a law enforcement situation, UAVs could be used to take snapshots of accidents, crime scenes, or
other situations where time is of the essence (Side Note: Mesa County Sheriff’s Office currently fields UAVs and would
prove to be a great case study of incorporating ESF-13).
In order to better assist LEPCs, UAVs could be utilized to inspect areas that would otherwise be dangerous for human
beings to enter. Similar to the idea behind “bomb squad robots”, these UAVs could be designed to be expendable in
the first place, and therefore destroyed after usage in order to prevent contamination.
UAVs could airdrop critical supplies to people in areas that are otherwise dangerous to enter or otherwise
inaccessible.

Source: DOD UAS Airspace Integration Plan (Mar. 2011)
Group 1: Typically hand-launched, self contained, portable systems employed for a small unit or base security. They are capable of providing “over the hill” or
“around the corner” reconnaissance and surveillance. They operate within visual range and are analogous to radio-controlled model airplanes as covered in AC
91-57.30 .
Group 2: Small to medium in size and usually support brigade and intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and target acquisition requirements. They usually
operate from unimproved areas and launched via catapult. Payloads may include a sensor ball with electro-optic / infrared (EO/IR) and laser range
finder/designator (LRF/D) capability. They typically perform special purpose operations or routine operations within a specific set of restrictions.
Group 3: Operate at medium altitudes with medium to long range and endurance. Their payloads may include a sensor ball with EO/IR, LRF/D, signal intelligence
(SIGINT), communications relay, and chemical biological radiological nuclear explosive (CBRNE) detection. They usually operate from unimproved areas and may
not require an improved runway.
Group 4: Relatively large UAS that operate at medium to high altitudes and have extended range and endurance. They normally require improved areas for
launch and recovery, beyond line-of-sight (BLOS) communications, and have stringent airspace operations requirements. Payloads may include EO/IR sensors,
radars, lasers, communications relay, SIGINT, Automatic Identification System (AIS), and weapons.
Group 5: Include the largest systems, operate at medium to high altitudes, and have the greatest range, endurance, and airspeed capabilities. They require
improved areas for launch and recovery, BLOS communications, and the most stringent airspace operations requirements. Group 5 UAS perform specialized
missions such as broad area surveillance and penetrating attacks.

UAS Pilot / Operator
Reinforces the fact that UAVs are still aircraft/aerodynes.
FAA may lean to term “UAS Operator” for sUAS.
Pilot or Operator differentiation can indicate different categories.
UAS Sensor Operator
When the operation of a UAS is such that piloting and imagery are divided into separate duties in order to maintain safe span of control.
UAS Aircrew
Designated personnel who are active in the piloting, navigation, de-confliction or other system operation of unmanned aircraft.
UAS Visual Observer
Spotter or Visual Observer (VO) trained to maintain line of sight with UAS and report on deviations from behavior.
NPRM 107 does not require VO but UAS would have to remain within Line of Sight (LOS).
