DHS Tests Counter-Drone Technology With Local Police
Original: DHS Tests Counter-Drone Technology With State and Local Law Enforcement
The Department of Homeland Security is testing counter-drone technology alongside state and local law enforcement agencies, as unauthorized drone activity around airports, prisons, and public events continues to raise safety concerns. The trials are meant to help determine how local officers can detect and respond to hostile or careless drones, since most counter-drone authority currently rests with federal agencies.
Why now: Growing concern over unauthorized drones near airports, prisons, and public events is pushing officials to explore how local police could be equipped to respond.
