NYPD Launches 'Drone as First Responder' Program with 4,000 Missions in Three Boroughs Since Late June
Nov 13, 2024, 11:07 PM
The New York Police Department (NYPD) has launched a new initiative called the 'Drone as First Responder' program, aimed at enhancing emergency response capabilities through the use of drone technology. This program, unveiled by Mayor Eric Adams and NYPD Interim Commissioner Donlon, is part of a broader effort to leverage cutting-edge technology for public safety. Since its inception in late June, the program has already conducted over 4,000 drone missions this year, contributing to crime-fighting efforts and disaster response. The drones are designed to quickly respond to incidents, providing critical information to officers and first responders on the ground. The NYPD has received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to operate these drones remotely across three boroughs in New York City. The initiative is expected to improve efficiency in law enforcement and potentially save millions in taxpayer dollars, as discussed by various officials, including Deputy Commissioner of Operations Daughtry and Assemblymember Jenifer Rajkumar.
