L.A. to use surveillance drones
In the months ahead, the Los Angeles County Sheriff?s Department will test an unmanned, remote-controlled surveillance plane. The next time you think that you are being watched look up and search the sky for a drone.
Depending on the outcome of the tests, the department could eventually put as many as 20 of the aircraft into service, expanding their use to searching for suspects on the run and monitoring hostage situations, among other things. The drones would be used in addition to the sheriff?s fleet of 18 helicopters. ?We?re really beyond the cutting edge,? said sheriff?s Cmdr. Sid Heal, who heads the department?s technology exploration project. ?We think this has great potential.?
