Information
During tasks, NPAS crews make use of state-of-the-art cameras and communicate directly with ground units. NPAS provides vital support for police ground operations and is one of a number of key assets available to the police. In hunts for suspects or missing persons they can clear large areas that would otherwise tie up many officers for a long time in prolonged searches, as well as checking inaccessible or dangerous areas such as roofs, including through use of thermal detection. In public order situations they provide – literally – an overview enabling officers to make the most effective deployments and respond quickly to emerging problems.
Key Roles:
Searching – for suspects or missing persons
Reconnaissance ahead of planned operations
Supporting public order operations, including through live feed of video to officers on the ground
Assisting with vehicle pursuits
Situational awareness
Benefits of having NPAS:
Can search large areas quickly (twenty times faster than other options and fewer ground resources required) – can mean the difference between life and death
Can provide an aerial overview of a situation - minimises risk to members of the public and police officers
Ability to surge resources in times of greatest need
Enhanced safety of the public and officers
Production of specialist quality evidence
A visible and powerful deterrent ensuring that the citizens are safe and feel safer

Bullying – Zero-Tolerance Policy
This community takes bullying and the act of bullying very seriously. Remember, there is always a fine line between having ‘banter’ with someone and bullying. Always make sure you know where the line is. The community, members and management are expected to have a zero-tolerance policy on bullying and therefore anyone who breaks this expectation will be removed dealt with accordingly. Further action may be taken by the CMG Community Managers at their discretion.
