RECOMMENDATION

Recommendation

 

That the Committee discusses and recommends the implementation of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Program within the police department.

End

 

SUMMARY

 

Currently, only one City employee within the IT Department holds a Certificate of Authority (COA) to operate the City’s UAV within City limits.  The Police Department would like to expand the City’s UAV program by securing the department’s own COA.  The utilization of UAVs by local government and public agencies is no longer considered new technology; many surrounding municipalities and law enforcement agencies are incorporating UAV technology to complete tasks more efficiently and safer.
