The new command center allows a single pilot to remotely launch drones from multiple points across the city, the moment a 911 call is received. Drones often arrive at a scene minutes before ground officers, providing an immediate overhead view of the situation. <\/p>\n<p>Drones can be flown over a 37-square-mile area without needing a human &#8220;spotter&#8221; on the ground, making the process much faster and more efficient. <\/p>\n<p>By centralizing data from body cameras, traffic cameras, and drone feeds into one hub, dispatchers can provide responding officers with critical &#8220;intel&#8221; before they even arrive. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Story Date: March 6, 2026<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blockads.fivefilters.org\"> <\/a><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/blockads.fivefilters.org\/acceptable.html\"> <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; Department has launched its high-<span class=\"match\">tech<\/span> drone command center.
