"NOVUS OPTIOS"

"New Options" for Incident Commanders

  

North Central Pennsylvania Unmanned Emergency Services (Tioga County Department 50) is a 501c3 non-profit emergency services organization that provides direct emergency response and ISR support to Tioga, Potter, and northern Lycoming County Pennsylvania public safety agencies of all disciplines using unmanned and remote (airborne and marine) technology. 

We began providing emergency services in 2021 and we are currently the only department in our primary coverage area (2,000+ square miles) that has unmanned capability. Additionally, we are the only recognized stand-alone Unmanned and ISR-Oriented department in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 

We support all incident-types, including structure fires, wildland fires, major flooding and water rescues, searches, high-angle rescues, disaster damage assessments, special event support, and law enforcement operations. 

Our ranks include FAA certified pilots, paramedics & EMT’s, combat veterans, administrative professionals, rescue specialists, and various other disciplines. 

Unlike a traditional fire or rescue department, we have taken an aviation-oriented approach to our organization-structure, policies, and SOP’s due to the regulatory nature of unmanned air and marine systems. This also comes from the lessons-learned from the experiences of our members who have served in combat, aviation, emergency services, and various other roles. This approach ensures a culture of individual and organizational professionalism and accountability, standards and compliance, as well as safety and risk management. It has introduced new options and mutual aid capabilities to every public safety organization in our coverage area.

    Recruiting the Next Generation

    Leveraging Skills and Sparking Interest

    We've either heard it or said it:  "kids these days just wanna sit inside and play video games"... So why not leverage their interest in technology and show them that it can be a benefit to the community?

    We work with community partners and other public safety departments to provide educational outreach programs that show kids of all ages how valuable their technology skills can be in the public safety world. 

    This provides them with the opportunity to fly drone simulators and see unmanned tech in action. It also networks them with public safety professionals and encourages volunteerism around their communities. 

    Our hope is that we can help set the course for new public safety volunteers or even careers in aviation, robotics, or emergency services. 


    If your organization is interested in hosting an outreach event, contact us. We're always happy to set something up at no cost.
