Contact Information

NRTI as we knew it is no more, and I don't know what will happen in the future. Technically, I'm still employed by the College, though am enjoying a paid hiatus, and working on everything I couldn't work on when I was spending 70 hours a week running the Program, like cleaning up from the tornado that hit, what, 7 years ago now? I'm also commissioned with a nearby county agency, actually answering to one of the more popular instructors, so I'm still trying to keep my hand in.

I'll continue to post information and news from grads and friends, and also want to keep current with LE news and references.

My College phone and e-mail are pretty much out of service, so I'll be setting up yet another account , so we can stay in touch.

CBP Drone Surveillance for Other Agencies Up Eight-Fold

CBP Drone Surveillance for Other Agencies Up Eight-Fold
This isn't bad.  Drones are pricey, but nothing like helicopters, and have a lot of advantages over piloted fixed-wing aircraft.  I'd rather see them being used for SAR missions, wildfire surveys, video feeds from critical incidents, or criminal surveillance, than sitting in a hanger, or trundling up and down the border looking for transient agricultural workers.  Then there's the safety factor.  I don't think anyone has ever been killed or injured in a drone crash, not even on the ground.
