This session provides a practical overview of what it takes to successfully manage and sustain a public safety UAS program. As drone programs continue to expand across law enforcement, fire service, and emergency management agencies, effective program management is critical to ensuring operational success, regulatory compliance, and long-term sustainability.

Participants will gain insight into the core components of a well-managed UAS program, including governance, policy development, training standards, equipment selection, and operational integration. The session will explore how to move beyond initial program launch and build a structured, scalable operation that supports both routine missions and complex incident deployments.
