The Department of Investigation's report highlighted that the NYPD's increased drone usage is non-compliant with proper protocols and lacks adequate transparency concerning its capabilities.
DOI Inspector-General Jeanene Barrett emphasized that the NYPD's public policies regarding drone operations did not adequately address privacy concerns or potential risks associated with surveillance technology.
The report urged the NYPD to improve its Impact and Use Policy to enhance public understanding of drone functionalities, thereby addressing growing public concerns regarding privacy and safety.
While NYC expands its aerial surveillance via drones, the DOI report raises alarms about insufficient oversight, poor protocol adherence, and lack of transparency about operational risks.
