Excellent opportunity to "guide" the local LEA as opposed to letting misinformation guide them.
I work with our LEA(s) and if you need any help or pointers let me know. The key to using UAS in any aspect of Public Safety is building the program from the ground up with Safety, Integrity, and TRANSPARENCY. If they don't get public approval on the project from the beginning and John Q. Public hears about it after it's in place the odds of the program surviving 6 months are slim to NONE!!
