DENVER — The Denver Police Department is working to further develop its drone program, with the eventual hope being drones will respond to emergency situations before an officer meets them there.
The first part of the drone program will allow for Denver police officers to respond to an in-progress situation and deploy a drone from their patrol vehicles. "We have provided the first half of that money to the department, we actually provided directly to the vendor," said Megan Pletcher, the executive director for the Denver Police Foundation."We've provided $50,000 to the vendor to purchase five of the seven drones."
