The crew is back together again – this time with a special new part-time co-host Woodlawn, Ohio firefighter, Katie Thielmeyer, who, in her own right, is a top-notch public safety drone pilot. She's a great addition to the podcast, and we hope to have her on as much as we can in future episodes. 

In this week’s episode, Fire Chief Amos Johnson, Police Lt. Steve Schueler, YouTube'r (KlooGee) David Glenn, and Regular Drone Pilot Guy Joe Wessels talk about a reported helicopter-drone collision in Los Angeles. An LA TV station helicopter pilot believes he collided with a renegade drone at 1,100 feet – and at night – and did an emergency landing procedure. Read more about it here: https://byjoe.ws/00eb5

The discussion ventures into remote ID, ADS-B, drone detection, and proposed rule changes – and how this affects, and often inhibits public safety operations.
