Doesn’t address how the drone will improve their first response. What does the drone due on arrival, knock, ring the bell or just use a PA ?

Drop off a first aid kit and call it a day?

Maybe they could borrow some drone tech from the Ukranians and use it to drop flashbangs?

I know drones have some amazing capabilities but I just don’t see how this helps.
How in the world is this going to cut response time?
Seems another another moronic idea to piss away taxpayer dollars.
Pretty amazing that they keep coming up with programs for crime, except the ones that actually work

A great use for all the covid and Biden money "taxpayers funds) that added to his Biden economic plan! Well at least they didn't get any of that unaccounted for Ukraine (taxpayers monies) funds!

I'm so glad that monkey county has the for sight in curbing crime and helping career criminals!

I love when a plan comes together! I'm sure that all the monies will be divided up among the true believers of the monkey County elite soon enough..

They’ll say the drones are flown by officers, the drones will be recorded as first on scene. Drastic improvement in response time

NYC has been using them (publicly) since 2019. They capture interesting metrics:

Speaking to a room of residents at the Wheaton Community Center on Tuesday night, Cokinos said a “staffing crisis” for the department has them looking to better response times and help the department decide whether or not patrol officers need to respond to a scene.

Yeah. It's amazing that they're talking about using drones instead of why the "staffing crisis" exists in the Department in the first place.

"911? My boyfriend is breaking into my front door and says he is going to kill me."

"We will send something right over."

"Yep, there is a broke down door and a dead lady alright!"

 

[ToBeFree]

Yep that'll work on those yuts!

All drones and robots will soon be required to complete mandatory online annual training on anti-racism.
