The Clay County Sheriff’s Office said the drones will bring new capabilities to the agency and enhance public safety.
“I’m excited to announce the rollout of our agency’s newest life-saving and crime-fighting technology,” Cook said.
Cook said that getting to the point of launching the new drone program took several months of research and that adding it to her office brings it up to speed with others of similar size. The sheriff said there are seven Clay County deputies who are licensed to fly the drones. Cook said the agency plans to have at least one operator on each shift.
“By having these very quick response drones available to the deputies on the street, we can turn what would’ve been an hour response time into just a few minutes of a response time,” Cook said.
