At nation’s doorstep, police drones are flying

TIJUANA, Mexico – Just across the border from the USA, police have begun using drones carrying video cameras to patrol residential neighborhoods and watch over parts of the city often visited by Americans.

Tijuana’s use of low-altitude unmanned aircraft for law enforcement surveillance, in darkness as well as daylight, appears to far exceed what state and local police agencies have been permitted to experiment with in the USA.

Increasingly key components on foreign battlefields, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are slowly starting to trickle back home. And with its Canadian-made Aeryon Scout, Halton Regional Police are on the forefront of domestic drone use.

Purchased in 2009, the Scout is used for a variety of public safety missions, including search and rescues and accident investigations. Last year the drone helped Halton Police find $744, 000 worth of marijuana growing in a Milton farmer’s field.
