Richland County Sheriff’s Department Drone Unit Visits Spring Valley
In an effort to expand the students understanding of IT and IT careers, Fundametals of Computing teacher Kevin Rasberry reached out to several companies in the area to model the jobs for them. On Friday, October 1st, his students got a chance to learn from one of these companies, The Richland County Sheriff’s Department Drone Unit. Captain Kim the leader of the drone unit visited the Spring Valley campus and had a chance to show the students the many advantages of using a drone in law enforcement. The students learned the capabilities of the drone and how it helps for identifying criminals, finding lost children and the elderly, assisting the bomb squad and assisting the fire department in major fires. Thank you to Captain Kim and the Richland County Sheriff’s Department.
