You probably don't think of surveillance applications when you think about a police drone use. The benefits of a police drone are many. It can fly faster than a helicopter to investigate crime scenes, capture images of natural disaster sites and gather critical intelligence from the sky. Police drones can also be used to locate fugitives, and chase down suspects. It is an indispensable tool for crime prevention and public safety.
Grabbit G6
A new technology is coming to the police department: a drone. Grabbit G6 uses facial recognition technology for identifying protestors. HigherGround invented this technology and it is called Live911. The technology allows a police radio operator to hear 911 calls in real-time. This data provides tactical intelligence that allows the teleoperator to launch the drone based upon the reported emergency. Police departments are able to send drones on the spot before officers even notice what's happening.
Skyseer
A fully loaded SkySeer costs around US$25,000 to $30000. This price includes all electronics, a video surveillance system, and a ground station with computer interfaces. The video interface transmits real-time video directly to the police laptop. Once a case is over, the video can be recorded to DVD or Macromedia Flash. The drone has a preset flight plan that it follows.
AeroVironment
Grand Forks, N.D. Sheriff's Department, are one of the few agencies to experiment with AeroVironment UAVs for police. The company's drone is similar to a model airplane with four rotors and a video camera. The drone can not only follow a suspect but also capture images that can be used by authorities in an investigation or arrest. The Qube is the name of this drone. It is not a toy, contrary to its name.
Predator
The U.S. Customs and Boarder Protection owns the Predator drone, a sophisticated surveillance aircraft. These aircraft can capture thermal images and video footage from criminals by flying at high altitudes. Recent civil unrest in Minnesota was caused by a Predator B aircraft flying above the city. Nelson County police said that the Brossart clan was responsible for the arrest. Privacy concerns are still present, but drones have many advantages for law enforcement.
Reaper
The MQ-9 Reaper remote-piloted aircraft is used by United States Department of Defense, U.S. Air Force and the UK Ministry of Defence. Reaper has many capabilities, including the ability to observe terrain and hunt targets. Multiple sensors and payloads including a thermographic cameras allow the Reaper data collection on targets.
