71. Reaching new heights: the future of police aviation and public safety
In a first for the The Emergency Services Show, we built a podcast studio on the show floor. Set up to give the Emergency Services Times team the chance to interview guests from across the blue lights, the schedule was eclectic and with silent disco headphones on hand, visitors could listen in. And now you can hear some of the interviews too.
In this episode, EST Editor Catherine Levin talks to the new chief of the National Police Air Service, Fiona Gaffney and David Walters, Head of Futures and Innovation. It is a wide-ranging interview where they talk about how NPAS operates and its bold vision for the future of aerial policing. It's one that involves using uncrewed aircraft and they share how the pilot to introduce this capability into policing is going.
Speakers:
Catherine Levin, Emergency Services Times
Chief Superintendent Fiona Gaffney, NPAS
