A police department is expanding its use of drones to gather information during dangerous calls. This expansion gives officers another tool to make informed decisions before putting lives at risk. Drones can provide a better view of a situation, helping officers understand what is happening before they arrive.

The police chief wants to utilize this technology to prevent officer-involved shootings or catastrophic events. The department already has a fleet of drones, managed by the Patrol Support Team, which was largely funded by a police foundation. Further details about the expansion of the drone program are available from the source, including plans for the program's growth and management.
