Wiltshire Police may replace its £700,000 helicopter contract with drones for faster, cheaper operations.
Wiltshire Police may replace its £700,000 annual helicopter contract with drones, according to Police and Crime Commissioner Philip Wilkinson, who says drones are faster, cheaper, and more efficient.
Drones, deployable from police vehicles, can respond to incidents quicker than distant helicopters, assist in searches, monitor crowds, and improve safety.
Wilkinson supports updating aviation rules for beyond-line-of-sight operations and domestic drone manufacturing in Swindon.
The force is also using AI to streamline 999 calls, saving £1.11 million and freeing staff, earning national recognition.
He warns that without more funding—Wiltshire gets less per resident than any other county—current services cannot be sustained.
