Team Spotlight
The Drone Unit
Drones have become an invaluable asset in law enforcement, as they provide an aerial perspective that was once only accessible through expensive helicopters or manned aircraft. Equipped with high-resolution cameras and thermal imaging capabilities, these unmanned aerial vehicles can swiftly cover large areas, monitor suspicious activities, and assist in search and rescue missions. By deploying drones, our department has significantly enhanced community safety, enabling us to respond swiftly to emergencies, monitor high-crime areas, and gather crucial real-time data for effective decision-making. Additionally, the use of drones not only minimizes potential risks for our personnel, but also offers cost-effective solutions that benefit both taxpayers and law enforcement agencies alike.
