On August 9, 2021, members of Lynn Haven, Florida Police Department’s Drone and CSI Divisions took to the outdoors for some test flights and a little piloting practice.
LHPD’s Drone Division currently houses four licensed FAA Drone pilots.
As technology advances, Drones have become more useful for emergency services in areas such as collecting evidence, conducting surveillance, photographing traffic crashes, mapping crime scenes, tracking, and many other uses.
The Department is equipped with a DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual Drone that features a three-axis gimbal stabilized camera housing, a side-by-side 4K sensor for capturing visible light, and a FLIR imaging sensor for capturing thermal data, as seen in these contributed photos.
If you would like to get certified as an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot, contact Florida Panhandle Technical College in Chipley, Florida at 850-638-1180 Extension 319 or email paul.goulding@fptc.edu.
