Dallas Avionics completes Minnesota state police training

Dallas Avionics has announced that Cody Klaehn, Government Agency Sales Executive, has completed a multi-day training session for the Minnesota state police on the use of their newly installed TDFM-9100 radio and AEM audio and public address system. The hands-on course, held at the agency’s St Paul office and hangar, included rescue specialists and aircraft personnel.

The communications equipment, installed aboard the state police’s Bell 429 helicopter, is part of a broader suite of mission-critical tools aimed at enhancing their search and rescue (SAR) capabilities.

“SAR missions can be some of the most daunting tasks with numerous challenges,” said Klaehn. “Good communications should not be one of those challenges. The equipment the Minnesota state police were trained on is proven to help air units communicate quickly with other air and ground assets. Every second counts when trying to locate someone that is lost or injured. Knowing how to effectively use the communications equipment helps increase the odds of someone being found. It is an honor to help the Minnesota state police with their mission-critical training.”

Klaehn is also scheduled to teach at the upcoming Airborne Public Safety Association’s APSCON annual conference in Phoenix, Arizona, later this month. Training slots for that event are still available.
