When it comes to drones, Michigan State Police will become the first police agency in the nation with statewide authorization to deploy an aerial drone to photograph vehicle crash scenes and give a bird's-eye view of other emergency situations, the Detroit News reports.
Tom Greenwood of the News reports that state police said Monday that it had received authorization from the Federal Aviation Administration on Feb. 25 to fly an unmanned aircraft system or drone to support public safety efforts. The state police will fly its own Aeryon SkyRanger and provide drone services for other police agencies in the state.
