This might be of interest to the Public Safety ASOs in our group and/or someone looking for best practices regarding their specific ASO community. The Airborne Public Safety Association (APSA) published several excellent articles in their May/June Air Beat magazine regarding the airborne law enforcement Tactical Flight Officer (a.k.a. Airborne Sensor Operator). From an ASOG perspective, the articles really covers the spectrum of being a TFO and in many ways an ASO.
• Technology Changes, Basic TFO Skills Don’t
• Tactical Chess: TFO Selection, Training & Performance
• Position to Mission: More Than Just a TFO
• Air Support Choreography: What Does a Tactical Flight Officer Do?
• The Mighty TFO: Riverside’s Task-Saturated Aviation Job Requires Tactical Tenacity
• TFO Intelligence: Controlling Tactical Operations From Above
I highly recommend you give it a read. Air Beat Magazine, Today's TFOs, May-June 2019. For more information, checkout APSA website: https://publicsafetyaviation.org/
