These drones assist in locating suspects and missing persons, ensuring a more informed response. Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor emphasized this advancement as a pivotal tool for crime-fighting.
Initially launched in Islington, the pilot will expand across London, covering key areas like the West End and Hyde Park. This initiative is part of the National Police Chiefs’ Council’s broader drones programme, marking a transformative step towards improved public safety using cutting-edge technology.
