The Wichita Police Department announced Wednesday that it will be creating a new drone program. The department took to social media Wednesday morning saying they will be partnering with Axon Air to create a new drone program to enhance their law enforcement capabilities. “The cutting-edge drones equipped with high-resolution cameras will help us monitor public events, traffic situations, and emergency scenes more effectively,” WPD said. “This means quicker response times and improved situational awareness.” The department added that drones will be “invaluable” in locating missing persons, assisting in natural disasters and allowing them to provide support in the Wichita community in times of need.
