San Francisco voters approved the police department's use of drones in March, leading to their deployment in pursuits and scenarios requiring machine capabilities.
SFPD Chief Bill Scott described the new drones as a 'game-changer,' despite only four arrests reported from May to July after their introduction.
The recent arrest of three armed auto burglary suspects was aided by drone technology combined with the automated license plate-reading (ALPR) system.
Drones are still synchronizing with the ALPR system, which may enhance the police’s capability to apprehend suspects significantly.
