Photo of the Week: I spy an eye in the sky

A California sheriff's department conducts drone training in an area popular for off-road snow sports

Thanks to Public Information Officer/Community Education Specialist Tim Mapes from the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office in Redding, California for sending these photos taken during the department’s monthly Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) training.

"These photos were taken in remote Eastern Shasta County in an area frequented by those who enjoy off-road snow sports. Our team members practiced searching for lost individuals using cameras and FLIR capabilities," Tim said.
