On June 24, 2019, a Wescam MX-10 High Definition Infrared camera with tactical flight officer control station was installed in a Missouri State Highway Patrol Cessna 182. This fixed wing platform provides many services to the public and other law enforcement agencies, including surveillance, hazardous moving violation and vehicular pursuit support, and searches for criminals and missing persons. During the operation, one motorcycle operator failed to stop when a traffic stop was initiated. The motorcycle was not pursued on the ground, but the vehicle was monitored utilizing the aircraft. Once the violator stopped and parked the motorcycle, the pilot directed officers on the ground to the area, and the violator was contacted without incident.
