Safety panel recommends Axon/Skydio drone program for council review

The Ashville Safety Committee recommended that the village council consider a five‑year drone program integrating Axon hardware and Skydio drones, according to staff and a vendor presentation at the committee’s Sept. 1 meeting. Mitchell, the Axon representative, said the total program cost in the proposal is $136,000 over five years—about $27,000 per year—and would include warranties, a replacement policy and integration into the department’s existing evidence platform.
