Cops in the UK could soon be operating drones as part of their duties after police chiefs decided the technology presents a real opportunity for aiding certain types of operations.
Remotely controlled copters could be used in “high-risk” situations such as sieges, as well as in missing-person searches and crowd monitoring, according to the Times.
The report added that senior police view the technology as “an efficient alternative to helicopters, police dogs and, in some cases, officers themselves.”
