LACRTC has trained over 195 different local, State and Federal public service agencies in sUAS operations.

Advanced Operator's Course

Advanced UAS Operator’s Course is now California POST certified. Formerly the Tactical Operator’s course, this revised version is taught by truly experienced public safety UAV pilots who fly missions regularly. It has more flying , more mission-set scenarios, and more UAV platforms to try out. This course sells out quickly so register early. [More Information]

Basic Pilots Course

The UAS Basic Operator’s Course is a 32 -hour program of instruction (8-hours online, 24 hours in class) designed specifically and ONLY for agencies that already have an established UAS program who are flying missions with protocols and a comprehensive policy in place. The course instruction is focused on piloting skills coupled with training in operational safety and system maintenance. FAA 107 certification is included in this training.

Counter-Drone Measures

Drone attacks are occurring almost daily across the globe. These low-cost, high-tech, and easily weaponized aerial vehicles can cause terror just about anywhere. This 2-day course provides students with the latest technology and tactics to prevent and respond to rogue drone activity or actual attack

FAA 107 Ground School

The Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Aeronautical Knowledge Test for the Remote Pilot Airman Certificate is required to fly an unmanned aerial vehicle commercially (including public service). This is particularly required for any mutual aid use of UAVs. This online course contains all of the material tested for the 107 pilot’s license. The course is self-paced but follows a progression of information with due dates to aid in completing the material in a timely manner. Online instructors engage students to answer questions and help with test preparation. Common test questions and themes have been identified by former students and will be shared to increase focused study and student success rates.

UAS Investigations

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and the 3D Mapping software applications are emerging as extremely accurate and efficient tools for crime and accident scene documentation and enhanced investigations. It is remarkable to consider that if it can be seen with the naked eye, or with magnification, with thermal imagery, or with infrared, it can be almost perfectly preserved forever. This new technology is changing how we can best serve the public.

LOKI Tactical Training

sUAS Managers Course

This life-saving technology provides readily apparent opportunities that are exploitable; however, operating in the volatile and changing realm of the National Air Space (NAS) as it pertains to drones can be challenging. Executives and decision-makers need to evaluate the implementation of UAS programs from a 360° perspective that analyzes priorities and constraints and considers all current and potential future stakeholders.

Nighttime Operator's Course

In order to be operational 24-hours a day, organizations must acquire a waiver to operate during the hours of darkness. This course fulfills the knowledge-based requirements necessary to obtain a waiver for Part 107.29 Daylight Operations.

Program Operator's Course

The Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Program Operator’s Course is a 48-hour program of instruction designed to provide governmental agencies with the knowledge and skills necessary to create and implement an aviation program based on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platforms. FAA 107 certification is included in this training.
