| Abstract: | Small unmanned aircraft systems (drones) have only been widely available for civilian application for less than 10 years. Despite the newness, drones are being used to support a broad range of public safety applications. The purpose of this study is to evaluate if law enforcement programs at two-year community colleges are providing adequate drone education. The course catalogs and websites of 255 community colleges in the Southeast United States were searched for drone-related keywords. Only 16% of the schools had at least one drone-related course available. A follow-up survey was sent to these schools' law enforcement program coordinators. The survey revealed that the program coordinators know that law enforcement is using drones, felt drones reduced injuries, and desired to expand their UAS curriculum. However, the survey also found that current faculty are unfamiliar with UAS regulations and have a general lack of professional development in this area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
