CVPD has been carefully building its UAS program since 2015. During which they have engaged with their community, worked with the ACLU and other community advisory boards, and deployed best practices in each stage of their UAS planning process.

Our drone detection system not only serves as a security solution for drone threats. However, it also provides a tracking mechanism for transparency, quality assurance, and quality control, saidAirsight Vice President, Nick Rabenau. Furthermore, Nick Rabenau explained, “we support first responders by tracking their drone flights and populating the data onto a public website to provide public transparency and minimize 4th amendment privacy issues.”

The Airsight monthly newsletter will keep you informed and up-to-date on all the latest UAV news, emerging technologies in the field, and the rules and regulations governing drone usage.

To better achieve public transparency, CVPD partnered with Airsight to use their drone detection software to track all drone flights launched by the Chula Vista police department. With the help of Airsight, CVPD is making its drone flight data publicly available on ps.Airsight.com.

Without careful planning, concerned citizens may ground your UAS program before it takes off. Even with all the benefits drones provide, there are drawbacks such as privacy concerns and 4th amendment issues. Above all, community support is key to ensuring that your department has a successful UAS program.

Consider making your department’s drone flight paths and other drone activity data available to the public. Ask us how we can customize a web-based solution to fit your program’s needs. Our solutions are scalable and agile to meet the ever-changing demands of drone technology and the environments they are deployed.

Law enforcement use of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), also known as drones, has become widespread. Many departments and public safety officials are seeing the advantages of using police drones in their daily routines. While the potential benefits of UAS use by law enforcement are numerous, challenges do exist with the implementation of this new technology. Law enforcement agencies interested in leveraging drones should also be prepared to address obstacles and potential liabilities.

Be transparent about your UAS program. Transparency should be part of your best practices as it will help thwart challenges to your UAS program. Police departments can extinguish citizen’s concerns and fears through trust and transparency.
