While there may be a few companies that hire low time pilots for patrol work, it really is not a low time pilot job. It has a high risk factor and therefore needs a pilot that has enough experience to be comfortable flying at the low altitudes required SAFELY. Every year there is at least one accident involving a patrol aircraft. Wire strikes and CFIT are two of the major causes of these accidents.
