Drones set to patrol a Californian urban area, promoting safety efforts.
Huntington Beach Police Deploy Drones as First Responders
Starting September 13, the Huntington Beach Police Department will introduce a new approach to emergency response by deploying drones to some emergency calls [1][2][3][5]. These drones, piloted by trained officers from the Real-Time Crime Center, will provide faster situational awareness and potentially increase safety for human first responders [1][3][5].
The drones' primary roles will include rapid response to verified emergency calls, real-time scene assessment, improving officer safety and efficiency, supporting investigations, and reducing unnecessary officer dispatches [3][4]. By providing immediate visual and thermal imaging, they will inform officers en route about the situation and suspect activity [1][3]. Early intel allows officers to prepare tactics before arriving, reducing risk and maximizing manpower [1].
Three American-made Skydio X10 drones, equipped with high-resolution cameras, thermal imaging, and GPS tracking, will be used in this initiative [3][5]. These drones will be controlled remotely via automated rooftop stations distributed throughout the city. The program, which costs approximately $120,000 annually, is intended to enhance public safety without invasive surveillance of private property [1][3].
This change in approach marks a new development for Huntington Beach, where drones have not previously been used in this capacity [6]. The drones will be used for urgent responses to reported crimes, capturing critical evidence such as suspect or vehicle descriptions that might be lost if waiting for officers to reach the scene [4].
