An article by Signal Cleveland shares City Council members want the Community Police Commission to make drone policy less restrictive:
When members of Cleveland City Council interviewed nominees to the Cleveland Community Police Commission (CPC) in January and February, drones came up again and again. It was the only technology that prospective commissioners were asked about, and the questions were specific to one use: keeping an eye on crowds.
Last year, CPC — the final authority on police policies — prohibited the Cleveland Division of Police from using its drones for “surveillance of individuals or groups within large gatherings or for crowd control.” Some members of City Council believe that’s a mistake.
Soaring to new heights, together.
