Drone-Enhanced Situational Awareness with TAK
Reserve Seat

Cory Foy is a technical rescue, swift water and wilderness search specialist with over 25 years of experience in public safety and technology. He has served as an Assistant Fire Chief, Technical Rescue Captain, and a member of Microsoft’s global technology field response team. He is currently the founder and chief pilot of Flight Tactics deploying TAK and drone detection technology for events around the globe, as well as managing director of TAK Public Safety, a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to enhancing situational awareness and operational coordination for public safety organizations.

Over the past several years drones and other UAS systems have become powerful tools for situational awareness. However, they often rely on the operator either relaying visual insights or transmitting video feeds to determine how the footage interacts with the broader incident or event. By combining UAS and the Team Awareness Kit commanders, drone operators and ground teams can quickly and securely work from a single common operating picture. Over this two day class participants will learn the basics of situational awareness with TAK (Tactical Assault Kit) using tools like ATAK, WinTAK and iOS TAK tools, and then combine that knowledge hands-on with UAS integration through UAS Tool as well as non-TAK integrated tools like DroneSense.

Vehicle Extraction Solutions
Reserve Seat

As time progresses, a continued lack of acknowledgment for law enforcement authority can progress as well. One of the many ways this can manifest is by an individual refusing to comply with an officer’s lawful order for the individual to exit their vehicle during a traffic stop. Extracting anyone from a vehicle when they are unwilling to comply and would rather resist can be challenging for even the most experienced officers. Officers in this course can expect to learn how to: Explain relevant case law that aids officers in their efforts to perform sound traffic stops /investigations. Perform physical extraction techniques on both passive and active resisting suspects who refuse to exit their vehicle during a lawful traffic stop. Effectively perform deliberate action on vehicles as it pertains to forcefully breaking windows, making mechanical adjustments, and altering the interior of the vehicle during extraction efforts.

Ethical Leadership
Reserve Seat

“We look to leaders to be role models and assume the responsibility for both the good and bad ethical decisions." Every day, leaders must face and make complex ethical decisions. The decisions made and the methods utilized to make those decisions determine whether the decision maker is an ethical leader. Whether you lead a law enforcement agency, a bureau, a division, a small unit, or simply take an informal leadership role in your daily life, the issue of ethical leadership cannot be avoided. Ethical leaders ARE role models. They communicate the importance of ethical standards and of holding employees accountable for those standards. Perhaps even more importantly they create and nurture an ethical environment in which others work and function.
