Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS)
The Remote Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) continues to be a very beneficial asset to the Service and its members. The part-time Unit was formed in 2021 with one qualified officer as a pilot. Since that time the number has increased to five qualified officers as pilots.
In 2024, the RPAS was used 68 times on a variety of assignments (missing persons, motor vehicle collisions, demonstrations, and public events) and the pilots completed 365 hours of training.
