Since Mayor Ashton Hayward’s announcement of the city’s partnership with IHMC to add drones at the Pensacola Police Department, Inweekly reporter Duwayne Escobedo has been investigation how other law enforcement agency’s have already taken advantage of the technology.
From Michelle Batten, Media Relations Bureau, Collier County Sheriff’s Office:
“In the days after Hurricane Irma, the Collier County Sheriff’s Office Media Relations Bureau worked closely with the CCSO Drone Unit and Aviation Bureau to post overhead video of damaged areas on our social media platforms. The aerial footage was a high-water mark of our hurricane coverage.
“A total of 31 drone videos and 12 helicopter videos were posted to our social media and shared with the local media. The videos showed the community where the damage was and – just as importantly – where it was not. Drones were also used to help monitor restoration efforts and supply distribution by FEMA as well as traffic flows at local gas stations in the rush for fuel. ”
