NYPD Introduces 'Drones as First Responders' Program for 911 Calls Involving Serious Crimes
May 18, 2024, 04:30 AM
The New York Police Department (NYPD) is set to implement a new program called 'Drones as First Responders' (DFR) to enhance public safety in New York City. This initiative will deploy autonomously operated drones to respond to 911 calls involving serious crimes such as shootings, robberies, grand larceny, and missing children. The program aims to provide real-time situational awareness to officers, potentially improving response times and outcomes. The DFR program was highlighted in an interview with NYPD's Officer Daughtry by Darla Miles of ABC7NY. An incident in the Morris Heights section of the Bronx, where drones were used to respond to multiple gunshots fired inside an apartment, exemplifies the practical application of this technology. Officer Adams supports this initiative.
