This class is taught by Rob Hock who was the team leader of the Green Bay SWAT technology team. He started the unit four years ago and has run many drone clearing operations with the SWAT team and with patrol from interior operations to field operations utilizing several different drones. He was also part of the Green Bay Metro Fire Department drone team. On this unit he had the opportunity to use the drone to find missing persons and how to use the drone at a fire scene. While in that role he had the opportunity to utilize all platforms of technology, drones, robots, cameras, and many other pieces of equipment to assist in keeping the suspect and officers safe.
