Use Case of Drone used by Scotland Police.
The police of Scotland, in 2017, laid out plans to start the trail on using drones. The two locations chosen for the trail were Inverness and Aberdeen.
But it was not until March of 2018 that three drones, each costing £35,000, were deployed in the sky. Their primary task included searching for missing people, tracking criminals, and surveying traffic conditions and incidents.
Similar trails also took off in counties of Cornwall and Devon. Drones equipped with HD cameras searched for missing people and monitored road traffic. They even were used for capturing crime scene incidents — something the Helicopter response service currently does.
After a year-long trial, the police department decided to conceive a separate unit in 2016 solely responsible for bringing in drones into its practice.
