He explained investigators could use the drone to assist them in a va - riety of cases, including search and locating a missing person, conduct - ing, collecting aerial views and photographing accident scenes as well as recording property and structural damage assessments. Drones have been used for aerial observations and photographs by the military and farmers, and now law enforcement is embracing its capa - bilities. Drones aren’t just child’s play. Depending on their size and capabili - ties, there are requirements to operate them, including a special opera - tor’s license. “Josh Herman took the necessary class to pilot it when we are able to get it. He used study guides from the FAA (Federal Aviation Adminis - tration) and completed research on several other websites to prepare for the test,” Baxter explained. “So there was no cost for the training. He completed a lot of training on his own time.” The cost for the remote pilot’s license was $150. The class was held at AvFlight, which is located at Flint Bishop Airport. The Remote Pilot Certification covers regulations, operating require - ments, aviation weather observations, the effects of weather on the drone, decision-making and several other subjects needed to fly a drone safely. “Once our drone is purchased, he will have to log test flights to learn how to fly the specific drone and learn the capabilities of the drone,” Baxter said, noting Herman’s hobby will be a help in operating the equipment. “Josh rarely plays any video games, but does have some previous ex - perience in flying a recreational drone and remote-controlled cars,” he added.

Rick Snyder. “Ensuring that all Michiganders can be identified quickly in an emer - gency situation is critically important,” Snyder said. “This legislation helps parents or guardians of individuals with special needs have greater peace of mind knowing that their loved one can be identified, should an unforeseen emergency occur.” The legislation expands the current Child Identification and Protection Act to permit a parent or guardian of a child with special needs to re - quest that the child’s fingerprints and photograph to be used for distri - bution, should the child go missing.
