During the recent Castle Rock Town Council meeting, a significant decision was made regarding the use of drones for community safety. The council unanimously approved a resolution to implement drone technology aimed at enhancing public safety measures. This initiative was supported by resident Susan McAfee, a retired air traffic controller, who shared her experience with drone operations in border monitoring. She emphasized the potential benefits of drones in locating lost hikers and ensuring community safety.

The council's decision reflects a proactive approach to addressing safety concerns in Castle Rock, demonstrating their commitment to utilizing modern technology for the benefit of residents. The resolution passed with a vote of 6-0, with one council member abstaining.

In addition to the drone discussion, the council addressed the need to postpone an executive session originally scheduled for the meeting.

This motion was also approved unanimously, highlighting the council's dedication to thorough and thoughtful governance.

Overall, the meeting underscored the council's focus on community safety and effective decision-making, setting the stage for future discussions on public safety initiatives and governance.
