dc.descriptionUAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) have become common place in society. Just like the Internet was once a government program that crossed over into the consumer market, UAVs are following a similar path. The technology that was once only available to the military has now entered into the civilian market. UAVs are not model aircraft. They are aircrafts that are controlled by sophisticated GPS (Global Positioning System), with navigation using an advanced flight control system. The GPS system was first development by the defense department in the 1970s to provide a highly accurate navigation system for military use (Hurn, 1989). It is now commonplace in consumer electronics, including personal phones. By incorporating this technology in UAVs, they have become a stable platform that can hover, spin, climb, and descend with easy flight control. Their use in law enforcement and public safety is growing, and having certified training is critical to agencies. Law enforcement should integrate UAVs and have policies to respond to critical incidents as well as prepare for the illegal use of UAVs
