College offers glimpse of drone technology ahead of Tri-C Drone Academy launch

October 05, 2016

Drone demonstration at Tri-C Western Campus

Drones are becoming the eye in the sky for an ever-increasing number of law enforcement agencies.

A drone with a mounted camera can monitor emergency situations from hundreds of feet in the air, track fleeing suspects and fly into spaces too small or hazardous for a first responder to venture, such as a burning building.

With their versatility and ability to limit first responders’ exposure to danger, drones are becoming a worthwhile investment for many agencies. But with the purchase of drones comes a need for qualified specialists to operate them.

Cuyahoga Community College is answering the need for qualified drone operators by launching the inaugural Tri-C Drone Academy at the Western Campus next week. From Oct. 10-14, first responders will learn about drone technology, its uses, and have an opportunity gain hands-on drone operation experience through simulations and exercises.

This week, the College offered local TV stations a glimpse of drone technology with a demonstration at the KeyBank Public Safety Training Center on the Western Campus.

Check out the stories at NewsNet5, Fox 8 Cleveland and Cleveland 19 News.
