Texas Police Association teamed up with the Texas Technology Consortium, First Net, CAPE, Intel, AT&T,
Microsoft, Motorola, Cisco and Dell to host the 1st annual Public Safety UAS Summit. First responders from
across Texas joined in for this two-day event to learn about the latest emerging technologies to assist you in
being better prepared and more responsive while improving citizen outcomes. Keynote talks included Skylor
Hearn (Texas Department of Public Safety), CDR Arjuna Fields Retired (FAA), Jim Price (FBI), Adam Jacoff
(NIST), Charles Werner (National Council on Public Safety UAS), Coitt Kessler (Austin Fire Department),
Officer David Martel (Las Vegas MPD), Tracy Lamb, (Association for UAVSI), and other practitioners within the
First Responder community. In addition there were public safety educational sessions using Unmanned Aerial
Systems (UAS) as first eyes to provide situation awareness.

Assistant Director Skylor Hearn

I would like to conclude by asking for your prayers. Please pray for each officer that put their lives on the line
and their family. Please also pray for the Texas Police Association as we will celebrate the 124th birthday in
March. We are planning to celebrate the 124th Birthday. We would like to get all our members and partners
to help us celebrate this important occasion.

Blessings,
