Corrections Counter-UAS Readiness
Corrections-specific readiness for the new counter-drone authority.
The corrections-specific readiness track: contraband-drone interdiction context, facility threat assessment, lawful response, and how to prepare a correctional agency to walk the federal certification path. A preparation and readiness course — it does not certify; only the FBI's NCUTC certifies.
Your instructor
Brian Rutherford brings an operator's lens to the drone threat. He is a U.S. Marine Corps combat veteran whose decorations include multiple Combat “V”s, including a Bronze Star. In the Marine Corps, SSgt Rutherford also served as a Combat Marksmanship Instructor and Foreign Weapons Instructor and trained in high-risk personnel protection and tactical combat casualty care, among other things. As a U.S. State Department protective-security professional with Triple Canopy, he led protective operations in high-threat environments. He is an FAA Part 107 pilot, Clemson UAS graduate, NIST BPERP certified, and a certified infrared thermographer, and previously built and scaled a government-contracting company. His career has been about reading threats, protecting people and sites from them, and thinking like the adversary who creates them — the exact discipline counter-UAS demands.
