police drone

Airborne law enforcement

A police drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle operated by law enforcement for surveillance, search and rescue, crowd monitoring, or crime scene documentation.

These drones typically carry cameras and sensors, extending officers' visual range without putting personnel at risk: Police drones tracked the suspect through the woods.

The technology raises privacy concerns about aerial surveillance of public spaces.
