How was it done before drones?
Before the introduction of the DJI Matrice 300 RTK, West Midlands Police faced challenges in gaining aerial perspectives, especially in complex urban environments. Traditional methods lacked the flexibility and real-time data that drones could provide.
What are the benefits of drones?
Evidence-Based Policing
The drone has enabled officers to locate evidence in hard-to-reach areas, such as a knife found in guttering, which would have been impossible to detect from the ground.
Rapid Detection
The drone's thermal imaging capabilities led to the discovery of a cannabis factory in Birmingham, resulting in the seizure of plants worth £3 million.
Events & Crowd Control
The drone has been instrumental in managing large events, providing aerial perspectives during sporting events, and assisting ground officers in real-time.
Resource Efficiency
Drones can operate with minimal manpower and resources, leading to cost-effective and efficient search and rescue operations compared to traditional methods.
