Perry, based in Essex, boasts a 24-year career in the Metropolitan Police, specializing in public order, overt and covert armed operations, and surveillance to combat terrorism and serious organised crime.

After leaving the police force, Perry was deployed to a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, where he mentored the local tactical team and fought against serious armed criminal activities. He successfully introduced the use of drones to the island to tackle organized crime and gang-related violence, enhancing his skills in precision aerial photographic surveillance techniques.

Apart from his professional endeavors, Perry is an enthusiastic motorcyclist who enjoys staying fit and spending quality time with his family on skiing holidays.

FPV

In the world of drones, FPV stands for First Person View—a flight experience that puts you virtually in the pilot’s seat. Traditionally, drone and RC aircraft pilots have relied on what’s known as line of sight (LOS) flying, where they control the aircraft by visually tracking it from the ground. This method, while effective, limits situational awareness and precision, especially at greater distances or in complex environments.
