During a recent government meeting, concerns were raised regarding the potential misuse of drones, particularly in light of reports about dangerous drones being deployed in Ukraine. One official expressed apprehension about the possibility of similar technology being weaponized locally.

In response, the Chief of Police clarified that the department's drones will not be weaponized. Instead, they will serve specific purposes such as crime scene reconstruction, locating missing persons, and assisting in suspect apprehension. The Chief emphasized that the drones are intended to enhance public safety, stating, \"If a little kid gets lost in the creek or in the forest, this drone is going to help us find that person.\"

Additionally, there was an inquiry about the drones' capabilities, specifically whether they are equipped with Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) technology, which is often used for search and rescue operations. The meeting highlighted a commitment to using drone technology responsibly and for the benefit of the community.
