Nice answer Sasless.

Others have mentioned the liability aspect. This is what drives the system. I flew for a county SO and as such we were "public use"--having said that, I was flying a brand new 407 and myself and the other 2 pilots were all FAA licensed with more than enough hours. I do not know of any agency using non-FAA licensed pilots.
