MEMBERSHIP
LEDA was created by law enforcement officers who have a wealth of experience in both manned and unmanned aviation to develop a standard of training and best practices in the field. In recent years, we have moved into becoming a resource for all public safety officers including Fire, Emergency Management, and Search and Rescue. We are happy to partner with all types of agencies, as well as having dedicated members from these other branches on our team.
We are growing rapidly and have over 2000 public safety agencies worldwide represented. Whether you have an established UAS program or are just starting up, a LEDA membership provides value to both you and your agency.

MEMBERSHIP ONLY ACCESS
A membership with our organization grants you access to our document center, current and future training videos, vehicle build-out photo gallery, member events and webinars, and the ability to earn your LEDA/NIST Flight Skills 1 or Flight Skills 2 certification. LEDA hosts both online and in-person events, including our nationally recognized four-day training conferences with information-rich lectures and scenario-based practical exercises. In addition to our training conferences, we host multiple regional training events throughout the country, catering to the area's needs for UAS training. Webinars are free to LEDA members, but there may be a cost to attend an in-person training event, as we travel to the locations to train with our gear and instructors.
Our document center contains various templates for policies/procedures, warrants, affidavits, logs, and reports. We are regularly updating and adding content as it becomes available. If you have documents that would benefit the LE UAS community, please share them with other members!
The vehicle build-out gallery documents equipment from UAS response vehicles to connectivity setups to help you find a solution for what would work for you. If you have photos of your buildout, a solution, or an outside-the-box piece of equipment that helps in your workflow, feel free to send them to us to add to this valuable resource.

ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP
Are you a drone service provider that desires to utilize LEDA's best practices and standards of training for drones? Are you a public safety drone training company that wants to be a part of the LEDA community?
We have implemented the Associate Member tier for companies and individuals wanting to join our LEDA community to learn about and use our standards to better the community as a whole. We have had so many requests from around the globe for the ability for non-sworn, non-government employees to join LEDA,
and this is your shot!
You'll get access to our instructional videos, our training breakouts, members only podcasts, equipment/setup page and most of our documents page. We are unable to share all of them due to some case sensitivity.
Please reach out to us if you have any questions about this membership tier - we would love to help you and
your drone piloting skills improve and raise to the LEDA Standard!
To join: Simply click the "Sign Up" button below to create a login to our website. Please make a note that you
are interested in the associate membership. Once we review and approve the login, you can then come back
to this page and click the button labeled "Become an Associate Member!" below and make the purchase. Once you do this, you will have access to the above mentioned side of our site. We are also working to be able to include the ability for Associate Members to attend certain LEDA training events. We will push that information out when we have the roadmap set up for that, which should be coming in 2024. Thank you and let us know if you have any questions!
