The Logan County Sheriff's Office now has a Drone Team: Investigator Albert Brown and I (Sheriff Massey) received our Federal Aviation Administration drone pilot licenses late last year and the Sheriff's Office now has two drones (also called unmanned aircraft systems or UAS). We use the drones for search and rescue missions, documenting crime scenes, surveillance in narcotics investigations and dangerous situations, manhunts, and damage and survey assessments in natural disasters. They are great tools, especially in the national forest and rural areas, when searching for people and assessing situations. We can cover a lot of ground quickly when using drones in searches of missing people and manhunts and gives us a bird's eye view in dangerous situations such as active shooter or barricaded suspect situations.
