"When an eagle hunts, he does it from above. He can scan quickly, searching and gliding silently to its prey. As law enforcement officers, we do our "hunting" a little bit differently. Having eyes in the sky during our patrol is a welcomed asset, allowing us to cover more ground and search broader distances.
Incorporating thermal imaging (TI) technology into your airborne searches and patrols can offer significant advantages. Thermal eyes in the sky can aid in a number of different scenarios."
