The camera fitted drones will help the police in scaling and managing the crowd at large, for example, during an agitation or demonstration or during festivals / events. The police aim to monitor the crowd, keep a watch on anti-social elements and take necessary action accordingly.

The drones will also be useful to keep a watch on people venturing into the sea and take action thereon. “The heavy weight drones will be used to transport items from one place to another, for example, incase of a drowning in the sea, the heavy weight drones can be used to transport floats / life buoys,” explained Premanand Sinha, IPS, Additional Commissioner of Police.

The drones will also be used to check on traffic jams – find the source of the jam, resolve it and work on remedial action thereafter. The drones are equipped with built-in artificial intelligence (AI), thermal object detection capabilities for making night patrol more efficient, and the ability to capture number plates for better law enforcement. can be operated up to a distance of 5-10 km from the ground station.

“The Drone Unit will prove to be essential in decreasing the crime rate, and if crime happens, it will help in identifying the act and the criminals immediately. With the drone’s capability in identifying car numbers and face recognition, it will aid investigation and resolution of the crime quicker,” said the DGP.
