flag Hamilton police will use state-funded drones starting June to speed emergency responses, deliver supplies, and improve situational awareness.

flag Hamilton police will launch two drones as part of Ohio’s state-funded Drone First Responder pilot program, beginning in June. flag The drones, capable of flying up to 40 mph, can reach emergency scenes within 90 to 150 seconds—far faster than patrol vehicles—providing real-time aerial footage to officers before arrival. flag Deployed only in response to 9-1-1 calls, they are not used for surveillance or facial recognition and are operated remotely by trained personnel. flag They can deliver emergency supplies like Narcan or life vests and track suspects or stolen vehicles. flag The program, funded by the Ohio Department of Transportation, requires no cost to Hamilton, which provides a launch site and personnel. flag Drones will enhance situational awareness without replacing first responders.
