Local police agencies weigh costs of technological advancements
DeKalb County Sheriff Roger Scott can envision a day when local police use unmanned aerial vehicles to search for lost individuals or criminal suspects.
“Our main focus would be for field searches,” Scott said. “This would be for a concentrated area ... short-term searches of wooded areas or fields.”
He’s not interested in using unmanned technology for long-term surveillance, though.
