He is a full-time state law enforcement officer and a veteran of the US Army, where he served two combat tours in Afghanistan. Prior to becoming a police officer in 2015, he was a civilian and military flight paramedic.

Incident commanders can gain a comprehensive on-scene perspective that has not been readily available in the past, leading to more informed decision-making and ultimately, enhanced safety and effectiveness of personnel and operations.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; During this interview we discuss: How unmanned technology is being integrated into public safety agencies and operations. &amp;nbsp; How Unmanned Aerial Systems (Drones) are regulated for emergency services and public safety organizations. &amp;nbsp; Why a department, such as North Central PA Unmanned Emergency Services, would form as a stand-alone department instead of just integrating into a well-established fire or rescue department. &amp;nbsp; The behind the scenes operations that are required for a safe and effective drone response. &amp;nbsp; How unmanned technology can be used as a recruiting and retention tool for the next generation of emergency responders. &amp;nbsp; About the Host Richard B.
