Are police/law enforcement officers required to be part 107 certified? The question came to mind today when I read the following story. The drone was used to track down a suspect and while I agree it’s a great approach it seems like they would have to be 107 certified. The pilot of a helicopter would have to be certified even though they are working for law enforcement agency. Any thoughts?
