City leaders will soon review the Lawrence Police Department’s draft policy for its use of drones and other camera systems, which is intended to prohibit uses such as invasions of privacy, targeted harassment and monitoring protests. As part of its meeting Tuesday, the Lawrence City Commission will receive a presentation from the police department on the draft “public safety camera” policy. Interim Chief Adam Heffley told the commission last month that the police department plans to pursue a drone program, and that the department had already developed a draft policy and would be seeking input on the policy from interested organizations, such as the American Civil Liberties Union.
