Colorado setzt Drohnen als Ersthelfer bei Notrufen ein – „Das ist wirklich die Zukunft der Strafverfolgung“

From the article

>The drones could soon find themselves responding to 911 calls, too, allowing them to gather information about an incident ahead of the arriving officers. They could also be sent out to less urgent calls, allowing police to attend more immediately life-threatening situations.

>According to the Post, even the Denver Police Department, which has long resisted the use of drones, is launching its own program, and eventually intends to deploy them to respond to 911 calls.

>The department, which shelved its only drone in 2018 after its former Chief said no to drones five years earlier, plans on using a $100,000 grant from the Denver Police Foundation to start the drone program. Several drones will be bought using the money, with the program starting within six to 12 months.

>“This really is the future of law enforcement at some point, whether we like it or not,“ said Sgt. Jeremiah Gates, who leads the drone unit at the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office.

I find it surprising private security companies protecting shops, gas stations, factories…. at night don’t have drones deployed every few miles, so when alarm goes off, they are up in the sky ready to follow get-away car.

Probably with those anti-tank grenades Ukraine is using.
