BRPD using drones
This sounds great in theory but will it be used for the fast and furious crowd? What are the intentions to use this technology?
Interesting but certainly eyebrow raising for the conspiracy theorist crowd.

The department that can’t even get enough people to attend their academy will now be piloting drones

My guess is it becomes ghetto target practice

It says they already have 24 FAA licensed drone pilots.

They are certainly not the first in the country to be using drones. The title is misleading.

If they have the kind that can stay flying for hours on end, they can probably just follow the burnout kings to their homes without their ever knowing it.

Drones for what? Houma has used them for years especially for mardi gras

Um, nope. Reading comprehension, folks

first department in country to use new type of drone
quote:
The Baton Rouge Police Department unveiled a new drone Tuesday that is a great deal larger than any of the other 30 drones in its arsenal.
quote:
"Unfortunately, because of the tragedy in 2023, losing our helicopter program and our aviation support unit, we have now gone to really investing in the technology of drones," Morse said.
quote:
"The drone itself, of course, cost money, and then the training for all the pilots was a two-week training. The batteries and equipment, with everything together, it was about a $1,000,000 package deal, which was money that we got at the end of 2024, beginning of 2025. Working with the Mayor's office at the beginning of 2025, they gave us that money in our budget to be able to purchase the drone," Morse said.

The camera should be good enough to capture license plates for some of the idiots who forgot to cover or remove them prior to doing said donut activity

A helicopter doesn't cost that much.

yeah but the insurance to cover the pilots probably does. Especially after your previous flight crew died in a cane field WBR after not filing a flight plan or letting anyone know they were airborne.
