IACP President Richard Beaty Testifies before U.S. Congress on Issues of Importance to Law Enforcement

摘要

On March 18, 2015, IACP President Richard Beary testified before the U.S. House of Representatives Homeland Security Subcommittee on Oversight and Management Efficiency regarding the potential threat posed by unmanned aerial systems (UAS), the need for guidance and best practices for law enforcement mitigation of UAS, and the need for training on mitigation techniques. President Beary discussed the great benefits UAS can have in aiding in law enforcement operations, but also highlighted the potential danger they can present if they get into the wrong hands. President Beary proceeded to offer suggestions on how the U.S. federal government can help provide guidance for law enforcement officers on what they should do when they encounter a UAS.
