Remote Pilot Training Prep Course for Law Enforcement

This remote UAS (unmanned aerial systems) pilot preparation course was

developed to ensure that law enforcement members understand the technical, legal limitations, and 

ethical responsibilities that are associated with piloting unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) in the 

National Airspace. Students will be prepared to successfully complete the Remote Pilot Certification 

Exam administered through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The cost associated with taking 

the FAA exam is not included in this course. Upon successful completion of the FAA exam, the 

the operator will be able to pilot drones for commercial purposes. While it is not required for law 

enforcement officers to take the FAA exam, due to exemption from the requirement, it is strongly 

recommended. Students who do not go on to take the FAA exam will not be licensed and can only 

operate the drone for official tasks for their department.
