The Drone Unit of the Monterey County Sheriff's Office is an innovative force multiplier that enhances our operational capabilities through advanced technology. This unit employs state-of-the-art drones to support a wide range of tasks, including patrol assistance, surveillance, and search and rescue missions. Drones provide an overhead perspective that is invaluable for real-time intelligence in large-scale searches or during critical incidents, allowing for more precise and efficient operations. The skilled operators of our Drone Unit are trained to navigate complex environments, ensuring that we can extend our reach to areas that are otherwise inaccessible, thereby increasing safety and effectiveness in serving the community.
