Officer Grant Allers had a great time at Mattawan Career Day alongside the Van Buren SWAT Team!

As one of our drone operators, Officer Allers gave students a hands-on look at how drones are used in modern policing. The highlight of the day? Letting the kids take the controls and fly an indoor drone around the school! 🚁🚔
