Stuart Lawless
“DFR programs have started filling in gaps, particularly where agencies haven't been able to find crude aviation assets in the past; this is now opening a new opportunity for them where they now have aero-support available at a reasonable cost.”

Stuart Lawless is a pioneer in the UK’s drone-based law enforcement efforts. With over a decade of experience as a police officer, he leads the NPCC Drone Portfolio, which aims at standardizing drone training and procedures nationwide.

Stuart's innovations have been instrumental in developing guidelines, authorization templates, and tools for public safety. He draws attention to the importance of data analysis and drone operations, which helps to measure their impact on crime response.

As a DFR pilot, Stuart aims to assess the benefits of this innovative concept existing in the United States of America and develop a blueprint for nationwide implantation.
