Produced with audio recorded by Locke, a recent mini episode titled It’s Fair, It’s Open, and It’s Welcomed with Both Arms brings listeners behind-the-scenes at the Maryland State Police Training Academy. The series episode highlights DHS S&T’s partnership with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to train America’s first responders on how to safely and effectively pilot Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) or, as they’re often referred to, drones, in support of their missions.
