  • Commercial UAS for Law Enforcement and Public Safety: What are the Transformational Growth Avenues?
    Lowering costs accelerate adoption of drone platforms in public safety agencies

    Overview

    Technological advances and artificial intelligence capabilities in advanced unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) or drone platforms are among the main drivers decreasing the cost of drone programs and boosting their demand from law enforcement agencies globally. Law enforcement and public safety agencies can use drones for various purposes, such as search and rescue operations or crime scene photography and reconstruction. Their use offers a cost-effective solution to manned aircraft for many applications, which can be up to 10 times more expensive to deploy. As such, public authorities’ adoption of commercial drone models is growing rapidly due to increasing platform capabilities and decreasing costs. While the benefits of UAS are many, their implementation remains difficult. Public safety agencies often struggle with adopting drone programs, which can be prohibitively costly. This involves not only the costs of unit purchase, but also training, program administration, data management, and storage. Moreover, fears around citizen privacy and safety could risk agents facing severe public backlash for the use of drone platforms if the community’s concerns are not addressed beforehand.
