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 2025, the RPAS was used 77 times on a variety of assignments (missing persons, motor vehicle collisions, demonstrations, and public events) and the pilots completed 311 hours of training.
