Denver Divided on Drone Use

Denver public safety departments are divided on whether or not drones should be used, the Denver Post reported.

The Denver Police Department has shelved its drone program after purchasing a drone that would have been used to photograph crime scenes. Its spokesperson told the Post that if it moves forward with a drone program, it would get community input.

The Fire Department, however, is in the process of purchasing a drone and accessories to assist with fires, hazardous material spills, and rescues.

The use of drones by public agencies has been growing throughout the country.
