UAS Training & Program Support for Law Enforcement

Practical drone training and UAS program support designed to improve officer safety, flight safety, mission outcomes, and long-term agency capability.

Training that measures capability, not just attendance.

Since 2012, MAXSUR has built a long UAS resume around public safety drone technology, law enforcement operations, and mission-driven deployment. With a team that includes veteran law enforcement, military, and UAS professionals, we view training as a critical mission — one tied directly to officer safety, flight safety, and better outcomes in the field.

Where MAXSUR training differs from many programs is the standard. We focus on certifying pilot capability, not merely certifying that someone completed a class. That is a tougher curriculum, but it better matches the reality of public safety operations, where officers may be asked to fly in difficult lighting, high-pressure incidents, unfamiliar environments, and rapidly changing tactical conditions.

Not every pilot and not every agency enters UAS with the same level of experience. For that reason, MAXSUR offers a tiered AirOps training pathway that supports agencies getting started, pilots preparing for real-world missions, and mature programs ready for advanced operations and fleet-level management.

Capability-Based Training MAXSUR emphasizes demonstrated pilot capability rather than attendance-only completion standards.
Public Safety Experience Training is built around law enforcement missions, officer safety, flight safety, and operational readiness.
Three Training Levels AirOps Level I, II, and III provide a practical growth path from fundamentals to advanced operations.
Missouri or Onsite Training MAXSUR can host training in Missouri or travel to your agency location for customized instruction.

MAXSUR AirOps Training Levels

MAXSUR AirOps is structured to meet agencies where they are, then move pilots and programs toward higher confidence, stronger capability, and better operational independence.

Level I

MAXSUR AirOps Level I

Basics done right.

AirOps Level I gives pilots a solid foundation under agency and FAA standards, helping them safely begin common aerial video and imaging missions.

  • Core pilot readiness
  • Agency or FAA standards alignment
  • Safe flight fundamentals
  • Common aerial video and imaging missions
  • Foundation for future UAS learning
Level II

MAXSUR AirOps Level II

Ready for the real world.

AirOps Level II is the practical check ride for common law enforcement UAS missions and harder operating environments.

  • Photogrammetry crime scene mapping
  • Indoor tactical flight
  • Night operations
  • Tactical overwatch
  • Search and rescue mission profiles
Level III

MAXSUR AirOps Level III

Advanced operations.

AirOps Level III supports advanced flight operations, specialized payload workflows, and the management responsibilities of mature UAS programs.

  • Long-range and long-duration operations
  • LiDAR and advanced mapping workflows
  • Aerial robotics and specialized payloads
  • Fleet and pilot training management
  • FAA waivers, exemptions, and program planning

Program support for agencies building real UAS capability.

MAXSUR instructors and advisors include professionals who have managed large public safety UAS fleets and developed drone programs from the ground up. That experience matters because a successful agency drone program is not just about buying aircraft. It requires policy, training, sustainment, leadership alignment, compliance, maintenance, and a clear mission strategy.

Our instructors are accustomed to working with the FAA, with experience reaching back to Section 333 exemptions and continuing through COAs, Part 107 operations, and BVLOS waiver efforts. This gives agencies access to practical guidance rooted in years of public safety UAS evolution.

MAXSUR’s core philosophy is knowledge transfer. The goal is not to make your agency permanently dependent on outside help. The goal is to give your team the right ingredients to become safer, more capable, and increasingly self-sustaining.

Customized support can include:

  • Strategic planning with command staff
  • Program objectives and mission prioritization
  • Policy and SOP development
  • Training plans and pilot progression models
  • Fleet maintenance planning
  • FAA waiver, exemption, and COA support
  • Capitalization and sustainment analysis
  • Payload and aircraft selection guidance
  • DFR, tactical, SAR, mapping, and advanced operations planning
  • Customized onsite or Missouri-based training delivery
