LE Only Webinar: Countering UVS: Current Law, Limitations, and Recommendations
Thursday, May 22, 2025 (2:00 PM - 3:00 PM) (EDT)
Description
For Law Enforcement, Government, and Homeland Security Professionals Only As Unmanned Vehicle Systems (UVS)—including drones and other autonomous technologies—proliferate, they present evolving security challenges to law enforcement, public safety agencies, and critical infrastructure protection. Understanding how to effectively counter these threats requires a clear grasp of current legal authorities, technical limitations, and operational best practices.
Join us for this exclusive Law Enforcement-Only webinar where leading experts will provide a strategic overview of how to address the growing threat landscape:
Charles Werner, Director of DRONERESPONDERS and retired fire chief, will provide frontline insights into how public safety organizations are navigating the dual-use nature of UVS, and the role of coordination in threat mitigation.
John Halinski, former Deputy Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), will offer a federal perspective on legal constraints, interagency collaboration, and recommendations for overcoming operational barriers.
Key Topics Include:
- Legal framework governing counter-UVS operations in the U.S. Gaps and limitations in existing authorities for law enforcement.
- Emerging threats from UVS in both criminal and terrorist contexts. Recommendations for actionable mitigation strategies and policy reform.
- Case studies and lessons learned from domestic and international incidents.
This session is designed to equip law enforcement leaders with critical knowledge to help shape operational readiness and influence future policy decisions. Registration is limited to credentialed law enforcement personnel. Verification required upon sign-up.
