UK Police Deploying Drones over London Streets
The UK's Metropolitan Police Service is deploying Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) to London in a new trial.
The Drone as First Responder (DFR) program aims to deploy a UAS to arrive at the scene of an incident, increasing situational awareness for officers.
Response times for high-priority incidents average around eight minutes, while serious property damage or threats to life can be responded to within two minutes with the DFR program.
Our new drones can deploy to calls in London instantly.
The program aims to provide police officers with new intelligence gathering capabilities.
