Las Vegas
Sheriff plans
mass drone
response
In a recent speech at The
Orleans, Clark County Sheriffelect
Kevin McMahill, who as
sheriff will command the Las
Vegas Metropolitan Police, told
a crowd of around 200 that
the police department plans to
deploy hundreds of drones to
shootings, but he did not provide
a date for the program to begin.
“For the first time in our
agency history, we’re going to be
able to keep more officers safe,
reduce officer-involved shootings
and find more suspects than
we ever have, quite frankly,” he
said at a breakfast hosted by
the Commercial Real Estate
Development Association,
also known as the National
Association for Industrial and
Office Parks of Southern Nevada.
McMahill said the department
has identified 11 “chronic
hotspots” that account for about
three-fourths of the crimes
reported in the Las Vegas valley,
the Las Vegas Review-Journal
reports.
“We’re taking 400 drones
that are pre-positioned out in
these neighbourhoods, on top
of businesses,” McMahill said.
“When the gunshot detection
technology goes off, it’ll
triangulate, it’ll give the GPS
coordinates to the local drone.
The drone will be overhead
within 30 seconds.”
