Frisco police will be part of a team that uses drones to respond to motor vehicle crimes. Frisco City Council approved a $427,500 award that will establish a drone as a first responder program for the Frisco Police Department at its meeting Sept. 2.
The grant money will pay for hardware, software and services for the program.
The details: The program will allow the local police to collaborate with a regional task force established by the town of Prosper. Prosper was the first city in the state to implement the drone as a first responder, or DFR, program in Texas. The task force is meant to combat motor vehicle crime with drone technology in an effort to decrease response times, increase situational awareness and keep people safe, according to city documents.
