In a review of the city’s draft policy for its use of drones and other camera systems, city leaders said they appreciated the efforts of the police department to discuss the issue with concerned local groups and that continued discussion would be important as the city looks toward a potential drone program. As part of its meeting Tuesday, the Lawrence City Commission received a presentation from the police department on the draft “public safety camera” policy, which would apply to drones and other cameras used by the police department, the fire and medical department, and any other department. Each department will ultimately have its own policy, and Mayor Brad Finkeldei said he appreciated that the process was moving forward as more applications for drones arise.
