Can you name one agency that allows an unlicensed pilot to fly PIC?
Name just one...
Now you're putting words in my mouth. I NEVER said that any departments did
that. Just stating what I know is the truth about how governments insure
themselves.

I didnt put any words in your mouth but from some of the comments the
implication is law enforcement is allowing unlicensed pilots to fly
PIC. That is simply not the case. Granted, some police pilots are cut
loose with not much experience past a commercial check ride & the
factory course in the aircraft they fly. This is perfectly legal. Just
like commercial aviation, law enforcement has good & not so good
pilots. The vast majority oin both arenas are highly competent.
