Coppers in the Sky: Police Drones on the Frontline
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 лют 2023
- Hey everyone! Since 2017, Lincolnshire police have deployed specialist drone operators to support policing efforts across the county. Now evolved to use cutting edge drone technology, operators are seamlessly integrated into local police units. In today’s video, we are joined by Kevin Taylor, Chief Pilot and Flight Safety Manager for Lincolnshire police to talk about this key role and how drones are having a positive and vital role in modern policing.

Brilliant. Really enjoyed that. 👍👍
Extremely well done video. This is what the drone community really needs to combat negative news publicity. To often the media spins a narrative that drones are piloted by creepy peeping toms who are spying on people. Most of the drone pilots I know are just out flying around and having a good time. We see what the birds see. It's good to finally see a high quality video about how drones are being used in public safely. Featured was a very expensive high end drone with all the bells and whistles. However, your local hobbyist with a descent quality drone can volunteer to be on a call list for the purpose of responding to eyes in the sky missions for local police and fire departments. We might only have a camera drone and maybe it can zoom, but they can be used for early detection until the police or fire department can arrive. Most DJI drones can also live stream. So that gives the authorities a little information before they even get on scene. A long time ago I worked as a Firefighter and later, a Police Officer. I worked in a small department in Alabama. We had no budget for helicopters and our small city would not justify the cost of such a craft, So if a criminal dipped into the woods, he was pretty much gone. But if we would have had this technology back in my day, we would have invested in a drone like the one featured in this video. We did have K9's so, having a thermal drone would have allowed us to track the suspect straight to his location. The K9 dog's were very good at flushing out the suspects if they could get close enough. How I wish we had these when I served. It would have been a game changer. Great Video! Cheers!
Excellent Shaun, I have great respect for your channel because it’s not all about ‘us and them’ in a negative sense
Well that police officer narrating the video did such a great job and it was really enjoyable to watch.
Amazing video once again, great insight in to the working drone world! 🙌🏻
Great video, Sean. It's nice to see real world uses to help people.
Surprised he didn't mention poachers, this being Lincolnshire where I also do my flying.
Great video showing usage by them. Definitely interesting how their skills develop. Definitely good as NPAS isn't always available or it's time sensitive
Great stuff we have been flying for 6 years now
Good video.. great job .. well done
Superb content and subject matter Shaun, thank you.
An excellent video, it makes a change to see how a drone can be used in the right hands. Most of us can only dream of having a drone like that. I like the police officer said he was first introduced to the safety of the vulnerable people and then to catch criminals in the act or after the act maybe it would be nice to see similar interaction with the police are the drone users, and perhaps then everyone will realise that drone users aren't the bad guys.
Great video. They should use this tech to track the Ge-engineering/Chemtrails.
That was great 👍 I saw my first police drone last night. Was interested to know more of them and this told me! Funnily enough I live in Lincolnshire too. Made me laugh because the operator must have seen an old woman with a trowel full of slugs and snails looking up in wonder at midnight! So interesting thanks 😊
Pretty heavy on the copaganda but other than that well put together video.
Watching this while a local police helicopter scans the fields at the end of the road .
coppers in 2024 just need to educate their colleges about drone users. weight, operator ID etc....
Always with the guidelines (first pinned greeting). Guidance noted 😊
Now that the US congress appears to be moving forward with a DJI ban with extra fuel added by the balloon incident it is going to be interesting to see what happens with UK fire and police ops if the UK follows suit. It will be a pity because rescue robotics feel hamstrung by the regs already. Although Police units like this are doing a fantastic job well done all.
Totally invalubale
